Oakwood Hall

The room smelled foisty But very clean and tidy

Received notice after booked there would be no dinner service. When I got into the room there was no Wi-Fi and was told I could come to the lobby if I wanted Wi-Fi. They were working on it, but it was not available in my room. There was a cobweb hanging down from the light fixture. Free view went out in the storm, so was reliant on my phone.

The continental breakfast was very poor. Needs more options.

A really lovely old property. It could do with a few upgrades as bathrooms/decor are a bit dated. However the stafff are super friendly and the grounds are beautiful. Really good value for money.

Worn and old

There is no restaurant. The bar does not have a licence, the photos on the internet are flattering. The driveway is so badly potholed it could seriously damage the unwary drivers wheels and tyres. The breakfast is rather lacking and slow. Friendly staff, but without any resource to help. TV screen not visible from the bed unless you sit at the foot end. food options plentiful in Bingley but all a good walk down a fairly long hill (and consequently back up a fairly long hill to come back)

The bedroom was large warm & clean

Beautiful listed building and a real treat to be able to stay there. However it was cold and we had to ask for blankets on the bed as the heating was switched off at night. There's no cooked breakfast despite it saying there was at the weekend. After we'd booked we received an email to tell us this and also there was no alcohol licence so the bar only sells soft drinks. However you can take your alcohol and drink it in the bar or restaurant, so that saves a lot of money.

Lady on reception was lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return.

As a review I read after booking this said, the hotel is a case of faded glory. It’s a beautiful building, but needs a lot of refurbishment and upgrading. Our room was cold and even though cleaned well, it didn’t feel clean due to the faded carpet, chipping paint, etc. The parking lot is a disaster waiting to happen. First off, no lights up there for safety/security. Second, the morning we left, it was after a storm that left heavy ice on everything. I nearly fell down walking up the hill to the lot and over to my car. Nothing had been done to melt the ice or provide any traction to the asphalt. Not at all safe! All the staff were wonderful, but they can’t make up for the lack of maintenance, which falls to the owners. Also, the breakfast was a continental one, not an English breakfast as stated in the listing. So overall, we felt a little misled, especially since we had no option but to book non-refundable.
