Liked the character of the hotel. Appropriate for the area.

The tea anc coffee were in a cabinet under the TV. Didn't discover it until the last day. Maybe my fault. Evening meal very expensive.

The hotel is a beautiful heritage property conveniently located close to the centre of Harrogate. The rooms are modern and clean.

The rooms are quite warm and would benefit from added ventilation.

"Great location but not enough attention to detail . Needs an up grade."

5.0

The location.

Room allocation above live Music very intrusive so had a room change - room not set out for just one person. Key not working on second day. Lift very small - many clients old! Needs to be thought about.

"Lovely character hotel well worth a stay."

9.0

Despite the size and age of the property it appears to be very well kept . All the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent . Great location for walking into town centre.

Nothing really but if pushed the room was a bit dark but that has to be expected considering the age of the property.
