Ashmount Country House  

The location and the setting of the Hotel is excellent and the staff are very friendly and accommodating however the overall experience was slightly disappointing compared to the expectation from the pictures and comments on the website! The accommodation at £200 per night is not cheap therefore more attention to detail is necessary to justify the cost; for example the reproduction clock in the bedroom didn't work (just needed batteries) and there was mould evident around the bedroom window. The bathroom needed some attention by way of sticking back the h & c on the bathtaps and painting the pipes under the sink! The outside area where the hot tub was situated was shabby and looked neglected with parts of the wall rendering broken / missing. Only small things I know but overall it's this attention to detail that needs to be addressed to be able to command the top price tag without criticism.

Late check-in and early check-out! No Sunday morning lie in bed!! Also, given that the Hotel boasts it's location and historical connections to the Brontes you would think that the owner would be aware that the Bronte Parsonage was closed throughout all of January for renovations! We were asked by Ray (the owner?) where we planned to visit on the Sunday morning of our stay and we said the Parsonage but when we got there we found it closed! I just think these are the kind of things that owners should know about :-)

Very welcoming and comfortable, liked the honesty bar in the sitting room, it was very nicely decorated in every room and the breakfast was very good. We had already booked our evening meal out but next time we stay we will try their food as it smelt good and the dining room was beautifully decorated. The owner was very helpful and encouraged us to relax and look around at all the rooms that had the doors open, all the ones we looked at had four poster beds and were well furnished. We were given a choice of rooms as we stayed on a Sunday evening. We would go back and stay there again.

The shower was broken and some tiles on the bath room floor

I stayed in the Sanctury Spa room after booking the hotel for my boyfriends birthday. The welcome was lovely, the staff were extremely helpful. The room was also very nice - the hot tub outside was a particularly nice touch! Especially in the snow! Ate in the restaurant in the evening which was gorgeous, quite expensive but worth it for the quality of the food and the really nice atmosphere. All in all had a lovely time and would definitely go back.

Very creaky bed!

Comfortable, if small room. Generous bathroom though

Both Meals-dinner and breakfast ok. Wine good value

Room had its own Hot Tub.

Friendly staff,nice location. Great rooms...especially the ones with hot tubs!!

This was our third visit to Ashmount County House and it is the most perfect place for a relaxing break, perfect setting great views from the bedroom of the garden and country side, We stayed in the Luxury Four- Poster Ingham's Room and our every need was catered for. We dined here in the evening and the whole experience was second to none. All the staff were very helpful and it was a pleasure to be there. We have stayed in many hotels in the surrounding area including Harrogate and York and have had a wonderful time but we always return to this special place and would recommend it to everyone who wants that relaxing time.

Very pleasant and helpful staff, wonderful hot tub, clean and comfortable room.

Luxurious. Good food and nice staff. Proximity to Bronte museum was excellent.

A little expensive.....

lovely place pleasant staff nice little touches like the breakfast hamper and the honesty bar felt more like a hotel than a b&b

was expensive and there were a few little faults in room ie; mirror bulb not working, bit of shoddy decor dodgy pictures etc. all forgiven for the experience

Was able to relax as nothing was too much trouble for the staff to attend too

This country house was outstanding! Absolutley a luxury place to stay and enjoyed every minute there, the staff were very plesent and helpful and extremly friendly, the secret garden spa was amazing and well worth the money, truely a 5 star experience and we will be definately returning, surounded by stunning views and a sence of history, fantastic!
