warm friendly welcome

myself and my husband and 7yr old grandaughter arrived at the owl, two hours early for our 2 oclock check in, but that was no problem, john said the room was cleaned and ready, which was great because we had travelled from the west midlands, and were ready to go and discover the city of york! we had a fantastic room, and the girls in the breakfast room were very friendly and helpful, in fact we found all the staff to be warm and welcoming! we had cooked full english everyday of our stay. We also had two evening meals, which were lovely and fairly priced.

Travel Tips for Selby

Selby

by Andrew_W_K

"Selby Abbey"

I'd love to say that Selby is a pretty little market town and it so nearly is - but sadly it isn't. Selby is blighted by big and ugly industrial buildings from the nearby power station to the huge Hovis factory that seems to engulf the town. Having said that Selby does have one very redeeming feature, it's 1,000 year old abbey. A beautiful (if much changed and restored over the centuries) example of Norman archicture. At just 12 miles south of York the abbey is a worthwhile diversion if visiting the attractions of it's more illustrious neighbour.

Selby - Market town / Commuter town

by Britannia2

"Visit for the Abbey and market"

A pleasant enough town that is now mainly a Leeds commuter town but has little for the visitor other than the Abbey and famous market. Good for shopping and there are some good eating places too.
Thought to be the new face of modern coal mining in the mid 1980s when the Wistow colliery opened but it closed in 2004 due to rising costs and the falling price of coal. The mine is a blot on the landscape to the west of the town.
Unfortunately also famous for the Great Heck train crash in 2001 when a driver fell asleep in his car on the M62 and as the car fell from the motorway it was struck by an express passenger train causing some loss of life - I had passed the spot just minutes before it happened!
