    The lounge-bar was a stylish refuge where I unwound with a delightful cocktail while enjoying the charming gardens.

    Felt truly spoilt, nothing to complain about.

    clean room
    quiet location
    period details
    small room
    cramped bathroom

    The Double Room was a bit small for our liking, and it felt dark due to the old furniture. The bathroom had a cramped layout, with the toilet nearly touching the bath. On the upside, the room was clean and had some nice period details. The location was quiet but still close to the town center, which was a plus. Honestly, it had a certain charm, but it needs a refresh to match the four-star expectations.

    Charming period furnishings, Well-tended outdoor garden space, Unique dining room ceiling design

    The hotel shows significant signs of wear with outdated decor and poor lighting in rooms!!! The lift is unreliable, causing inconvenience, and parking charges feel unjustified when room rates are already high!!!

    comfortable room
    attentive staff
    uncomfortable temperature
    average food quality
    limited ventilation

    The room was exceptionally clean and spacious, complemented by a comfortable bed. The grounds provided a peaceful setting for relaxation, particularly enjoyable with food options like the delightful poultry dish at dinner. the lack of air conditioning made the room uncomfortably warm at times, and the breakfast quality was average though sufficient. The staff's attentiveness was notable, especially one member who went above and beyond to address our needs.

    It was just a decent option for a quick layover in Harrogate with good price-value balance. The meals were enjoyable, and the staff were really helpful when we needed assistance. Make sure to check your dining allowance ahead of time.

    Charming, charming, charming

    I loved the elegant period furnishings that wrapped me in nostalgia. The dining room's art deco glass ceiling added such a unique touch to our meals! Plus, being just steps from local attractions made our stay incredibly convenient.

    Charming and historic vibes!

    Really enjoyed the classic feel of this place. The staff were super nice, especially the guy at the desk who helped us move to a quieter room. Loved the breakfast options, especially the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon! Just wish the room was a bit bigger. it felt cramped at times.
