After looking for a cheap hotel near to where tribfest was being held in Sledmere ( tents & muddy fields being a no no) I came across The New Globe Inn a pub in Malton a 20 min drive away offering a double room with shared bathroom & breakfast for £48. Price & distance from where I wanted to be I booked.||Firstly my satnav took me to the wrong end of the street but eventually I found The New Globe Inn, it took a couple of drives around to find the back entrance to where the car park is located.|Check in was in the bar area & a nice guy took us upstairs to where 3 rooms, a shower room & a toilet were located. Apparently we were the only guests that night so no need to share the bathroom facilities.||The room itself.... although it was clean & much better than spending the night in a muddy field, it really does need some work.|The negatives... the bed... it really needs a new one! End of! The bed base had a piece of wood on top & the mattress was quite lumpy. The head board not even attached to the bed. The sink in the room..it worked but it's propped up by two pieces of wood!? Holes in the wall & a loose plug board behind the bed.|Both the toilet door & shower room need new locks. I was quite glad we were the only people there as it was impossible to lock the shower room shut! |It is a pub so do expect some noise, we didn't get back to the room until midnight. We figured it was a Friday night after all & it was fine as no noise after 1am.|The positives... clean bedding, clean towels, clean room,TV, tea & coffee facilities, hot shower, clean toilet, free wifi & free parking.|Breakfast!! Breakfast is why I have rated this a three & not a two. Really nice hot cooked breakfast with toast, orange juice & tea or coffee. Other places would have charged around £7.50pp for this breakfast easily so taking that off the £48 total (£15 for 2) you're probably paying £33 for the room. |Overall it did what it needed to do for myself & my partner for the one night. Would I stay here again? If some improvements were made then definitely. If not maybe but not for more...

Read moreMy friend and I were staying in Malton for a wedding and needed somewhere budget friendly to stay. The New Globe came up as the best option for us location and price wise with the ceremony and reception venues just a few minutes walk.||We arrived about 1900hrs on the Friday evening after travelling a long way. We picked up our keys from the bar and headed upstairs to the room. We tried to put the lights on but the lamp didn't work and neither did the main light! We went back downstairs to the bar to talk to someone about the issue and they very begrudgingly moved us to another room where the lamp was broken again! But at least the main light worked. The way we looked at it, we knew we weren't going to spend much time in the room and it was just somewhere to put our heads for the night but there are a few things that just weren't up to standard:||Dust on top of stuff like sockets and the kettle - This is basic!|Cracked sinks|Shared toilet that was like something out of a horror film, complete with crackling light bulb, filthy toilet brush and carpeted floor. You just pray that the other clients are good at aiming...|Sticky, unclean feeling carpet|Cigarette burns in the bedding! |And a rude wake up from the cleaner on the morning of your departure. ||Do I think that the pub will read this and care? In a nutshell, no. I get the vibe that they don't care full stop which is why there are so many bad reviews. It seems to be the same kind of complaints over and over yet nothing has been rectified.||So in short, amazing location but massively let down by an establishment that makes you feel like you staying with them is a burden. Avoid...
