Now a comfortable family-run hotel, this elegant Georgian manor house enjoys uninterrupted views across York’s famous racecourse and still retains many beautiful original features.
Once the home of the Rowntree family, the hotel was originally built in 1833. The main building still retains many period features and it is easy to imagine this beautiful building in all of its historic splendour. Now one of the few remaining privately owned and family-run hotels in York, The Knavesmire Manor Hotel takes pride in offering a friendly, personal service to all guests.
In the immaculately kept gardens, the hotel’s tropical conservatory houses an indoor heated swimming pool and spa bath. The hotel’s other facilities include a fully licensed bar, a drawing room and the hotel’s popular on-site restaurant. There is a car park to the rear of the main building, with ample free parking available for guests use.
Restaurant 302 is the hotel’s own on-site restaurant. Open to residents and non-residents from 18:30 until 21:00 daily, the restaurant enjoys an excellent local following. Restaurant 302 serves a variety of English and continental dishes, freshly prepared using locally sourced ingredients. There is a fixed-price table d'hôte menu and an à la carte menu offering an excellent choice of starters, meat, fish and vegetarian dishes, as well as a daily selection of freshly prepared home-made desserts. A children's menu is also available. The wine list offers a good choice of carefully selected and reasonably priced wines to accompany your meal. The restaurant also serves a selection of liqueur coffees. On Sundays, the chef's prepare a 2 or 3-course traditional roast lunch (with fish and vegetarian options available).
