Chapter Two Bar

Stopped at Chaoter Two for Pea and Ham soup and a roll with a Fruit Scone. The food was lovely and the service was great. A lovely pot of Yorkshire Tea and good soup is what was needed on a cold December day. A little gem hidden in Malton

This is a very popular town centre bar with small rooms (no breakfast). They have done well with limited resources. Bed comfortable, good shower, room clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms overlook the courtyard where people drink and eat (pizzas etc) but goes quiet after 9.30. But room small (no wardrobe or chest of drawers). Mould on bathroom ceiling and round shower. The big problem is a bright green security light which cannot be turned off. Owners told previous complainants that it was a health and safety requirement, but we found it difficult to sleep. Previous guests had evidently tried to cover the light with cardboard. Unless you like sleeping with good sleep masks, or want to risk finding a way to cover the light we would not recommend.

The room is quirky and the bed comfortable. The low score is because there is no light in the windowless bathroom. It was reported to reception immediately but nothing was done about it. I paid £90 for a superior, en-suite room - I expect not to have to use the torch on my phone to take a pee or have a shower! How simple it would have been to get a 5 star rating- a £3 light bulb!
