Hotel and bedroom clean and well appointed, friendly staff, not bad location for Harrogate town centre. Taxi to sister Hotel to use their restaurant for dinner was included. Decor very dark,Hotel very quiet at the time we visited, down side, the parking area was very small and there was no restaurant open, breakfast served in the bar area. Room rate did not reflect the lack of facilities,

Rooms are excellent and most staff very friendly. Breakfast room was cold. Little atmosphere as resturant shut during stay. Had a problem with the other group of four guests who were holding a noisy business meeting next to us at breakfast. Walking about talking loudly on their phones We asked staff to ask them to respect that we wanted a relaxing breakfast but the staff member did nothing. Will not stay again which was disappointing as we enjoyed our previous stay.

Having stayed and enjoyed the hotel previously we had high expectations which were entirely met despite the restaurant being closed for remodel. We were "upgraded" to the full suite in which we had previously stayed. Staff maintain high standards and the hotel is excellent for our needs. We would recommend highly.

Room was to a very high standard. Very large, clean with nice surroundings. Seemed the resturant was closed for some reason in the evening for the entire week I stayed. Breakfast was still served however.

Very nice room and breakfast When we arrived the receptionist was very rude and miserable infact to the point I was going to complain. However when we went back to reception the second time to get the key to our room the other lady who I think was maybe of a more senior level was very helpful and upgraded our room as she said she never allocated room 17 unless it was the only one available But again the receptionist made it clear she was not happy with this and was reluctant to upgrade.

The mini suite room size was excellent and very comfortable. Slightly annoyed that 'The Grille' was closed in the evenings with no prior warning. Hotel did offer free taxi service to their sister hotel which was excellent (food and service) however we wanted room service which we obviously couldn't do.

Disappointed. I did not book a family room which I got, I booked the excecutive room which I did not get. The receptionist said the hotel was busy which is not my problem. I booked this break for my husbands 60th birthday surprise at the beginning of October. They should have informed me that my booking was not available. Nothing was said beforehand about the hotel restaurant being closed, very remiss of them.

The Molton Brown toiletries, luxury towels and not forgetting the lovely breakfasts that we had. Especially the kippers. If you feel the heat easily make sure you turn down the heating as it becomes increasingly hot durning the night!

Only one hour drive from where we live. Ideal for a romantic night away with my wife of 20 years. Good clean rooms. Very quite location but in easy reach of eating houses. Stairs are quite a climb and a bit narrow

The hotel was lovely, albeit very dark. We found it impossible to read in the room without the main light on, which then meant a trip out of bed to turn it out. Most disappointing was the lack of evening restaurant facilities, which were majored on on your website. There were lots of local facilities, but it would have been nice to stay in on at least a couple of occasions.The bar area, which was very well appointed should have been buzzing, but was empty and soulless, because of the lack of restaurant facilities which drove everybody out. This lack of facilities prompted the question about when is a boutique hotel really quite a high class bed and breakfast ? Could you include grapefruit juice at breakfast ? (and perhaps two eggs ?)

The room was fine, except for the bed. I do not like "boutique" type hotels where this means chipped furniture. It just looks poor. The bathroom was good. The staff were helpful. We were at the top of the hotel. It really needs a lift. The lack of a restaurant was disapponting, as was the limited choice of beer. However, this was solved by taking customers to the sister hotel for dinner if one wanted. There are of course lots of restaurants in Harrogate. Also, the bed was uncomfortable. I have been in better hotels for the less money.

The staff were very attentive, friendly, and could not do more for you! Food was expensive, but worth every penny!! The only thing I will criticise, is the beautiful duck down quilts, were incredibly warm for summer months.

The Internet access was atrocious. Poor WiFi and kept dropping out. This is the only thing that would prevent me booking again
