Beautiful hotel with great staff :)

Fairfield Manor is a beautiful hotel, the recent refurb has really brought the main public areas up to date and looks amazing! The staff are always helpful and friendly, and the location is ideal especially if you have people travelling. There is lots of free parking, and the outside areas are gorgeous including a new pagoda for weddings. I've been working with Fairfield for over 10 years now and it has to be my favourite venue, its always a pleasure to visit.

A lovely wedding venue plus staff members who are available to help support you with your wedding - they are helpful, organised and a pleasure to work with. I’ve recently worked with the hotel (I am a TEMPLESPA Consultant) and I’ve had a great experience.

The venue, food and staff were all fantastic and Joel make sure we didn’t forget any of the finer details. We will be sure to be back for future parties etc! We cannot thank you enough.

Happy Hotel Guest Review

The photographs do not do justice to the place. Rooms are well proportioned and clean. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel, where a number of buses will take you to the heart of York. And as it is a nightmare to drive in the city, this is a huge bonus.

We had a very warm hospitality from the staff. The rooms are very classic and cozy. The breakfast was very warm and amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. 😍😍

Brilliantly hotel I love it the staff very kind and helpful. The reception staff very friendly. Thank you it was a lovely stay.

The staff are very efficient & helpful, nothing is too much trouble to may your stay as comfortable & enjoyable as possible. The restaurant/bar staff are polite, courteous and efficient. They take seriously any allergy, even if not on the list of 14 allergens. Overall, a fantastic stay. Food & drinks: The food is excellent, allergies professionally attended. Staff courteous and efficient.

Had an excellent stay. Staff very friendly especially Bradley in the restaurant. Hotel and room very clean. Comfortable beds. Definitely worth 5 star rating.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Mercure York, Fairfield Manor Hotel?

We hosted a lovely summer wedding where the bride, groom and guests got to enjoy the best of both - the rustic styled indoor civil ceremony followed by reception drinks, photos and lawn games outside in the sunshine. After a few hours of fun outside the guests returned inside for a beautiful tailored three course meal with 10/10 speeches full of laughs and some tears of joy. The evening reception did not disappoint, our resident DJ worked their magic to keep the party going all night using a mix of the happy couples requested music, guest requests on the night and all the floor fillers around. All the guests and staff had a great time, there was a fabulous buzz in the air all day and night.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

To try not let yourself get overwhelmed with all the details and planning. Sure every detail is important, but start by writing different elements of your wedding down and putting them in priority order. Take your time and slowly focus on one element at a time. You will find that a lot of the smaller details will simply fall in line as you're working on some of the bigger details. One thing at a time, bit by bit.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Seeing couples not sticking to the traditions and making their wedding truly unique. One beautiful wedding we had simply let any of the guests stand up and say a few words about the happy couple after the dessert. Throwing out the pressure of conventional speeches and reliving the father of the bride who didn't feel comfortable standing in front of a large crowd speaking.
