Wheatlands Lodge Hotel

Overview

Wheatlands Lodge Hotel stands on Scarcroft Road in the quiet Holgate neighbourhood, just half a mile from York’s historic city centre in North Yorkshire. Well established and independently run, this friendly hotel offers a warm and practical base for couples, families and small groups seeking a value-led, comfort-first break in the city. With on-site parking and easy access to York railway station (less than 10 minutes’ walk), it’s particularly convenient for those arriving by train or car who want to explore York’s main attractions on foot.

Eat

The hotel’s dining room serves classic British dishes in a relaxed, traditional setting. Each morning, guests can enjoy a full English breakfast, freshly prepared and plentiful. For dinner, the Wheatlands Lodge Hotel restaurant offers a daily-changing, set three-course menu, focusing on hearty, home-cooked favourites—think roast meats, Yorkshire puddings, pies, and comforting desserts. Meals are simple, satisfying, and geared towards giving guests a taste of familiar hospitality rather than fine dining. Friendly, prompt service and a convivial bar lounge set the tone for a sociable evening, whether you’ve come back after a day’s sightseeing or are joining a coach group. The bar itself is a welcoming spot for a pint or a glass of wine in the evening.

Sleep

Inside, Wheatlands Lodge Hotel features an extensive range of en suite rooms, with both double and twin options, designed for comfort and restful nights.
