Cleanliness
Most guests found Prospect House to be well-presented. However, one review mentioned it was not well cleaned from previous holidaymakers, suggesting a slight inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
Location
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local pubs, shops, and scenic walks. The proximity to Ampleforth College's leisure facilities is also appreciated. Parking challenges are noted, but do not significantly detract from the location's appeal.
Comfort
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable, with special mentions of the quality of beds and linen. The spaciousness and layout contribute to the overall comfort experienced by visitors.
Facilities
The property is commended for its well-equipped kitchen, ample bathrooms, and additional living areas. Some guests noted the lack of a separate shower in the shared bathroom, but this did not majorly impact the positive feedback on facilities.
Thoughtfulness
The thoughtful provision of a welcome hamper, including local produce and essentials, is frequently mentioned and appreciated. While such gifts are cherished, it is noted that they are a gracious addition and not a guaranteed feature.
