Fourways Guest House

I felt exceptionally welcome and safe here, as a solo female traveler. My room was tiny but it had everything I needed, and the price was very reasonable. Easy walking distance to The World of James Herriot as well as shops and restaurants. The proprietor kindly loaned me an umbrella for the day and didn’t even blink when I told him I accidentally left it behind at the pub. Breakfast was hearty and cooked to order. I would definitely stay here again.

We went to Thirsk for two nights to watch the horse racing and found that the location was excellent with easy access to the racetrack and the town. The hosts were nice and friendly, even giving us advice on how to decide what horse to pick in the race. The room was very clean, and I noticed that they had even replenished our complimentary biscuits. Breakfast was excellent with perfectly cooked poached eggs. (Thank you Mark) The building is a very old building and I thought it gave the accommodation a bit of character. They had their own private car park, so the parking was free. I have no hesitation in recommending The Four Ways Guest House as a good place to stay when in Thirsk. I thought the place was very nice however because it’s an old building the stairs maybe a bit steep if you have mobility issues. If you are fit and well then, its a great place to stay so if you are going to Thirsk this is a good choice.

I stayed in Fourways Guest House whilst backpacking in the area. It's in a prime location, close to two supermarkets and a chippy; and just seconds away from Thirsk town centre with its shops, pubs and restaurants. I was greeted upon arrival with a free upgrade to a larger room, which was clean and well stocked with tea, coffee, towels, bedding etc. Owner Mark was very friendly and informative. Breakfast was included with the room and was spot on. Toast and a full English was prepared when I was ready, and a variety of cereals and juices was on offer also. Overall a great stay and I'll look at getting booked in when I'm next staying in the area!
