    Lack of staff and distance of reception to hotel

    The rooms were lovely and well laid out. The small kitchen areas on each floor with vending machines, water microwave etc useful

    Air conditioning was loud and I couldn’t quite get it to a comfortable temperature. The opaque dividing glass on the balcony had gaps between the panels that children could - and did! - peer through, which was a bit of a nuisance. The panels are also too low so adults can see above. With no sort of netting at the bedroom window, if you open the curtains to let the light in and observe the animals you can be seen in bed! Felt like very little privacy overall. Room on each floor with microwave and ice machine was a really nice touch, sadly the vending machine was broken and so not stocked.

    Exceptionally clean, good-sized room. I always like when hot chocolate is included in the tea tray! Bath and shower both very good; good pressure, temp, filled quickly. Lovely luxurious temple spa toiletries, what a treat! Staff were really friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.

    I liked everything about it. Can't think of any improvements that could be made.

    Location is great - attached to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and right next to some nice shopping opportunities at The Hive. Excellent parking provision. The rooms are well equipped with easily controllable airconditioning (on the three days a year you need it - including when we stayed), comfy beds and a rainfall shower. Lots of storage although we were only staying one night so we didn't need very much. Staff are amazing at every level and can't do enough for you. Food is a little expensive but I guess that's to be expected given the location. Reception arranged for a bottle of prosecco to be sent up to our room for our anniversary and the staff had left a card and bath towels arranged like a heart on the bed, which was sweet and very much appreciated. This time we went to the park as well and spent a very pleasant day there. We were surprised by how much we enjoyed it and we will return.

    Sadly most shops where closed when we arrived at 7pm, no swings and slides for the kids. Missed the hotel reception when we walked from the disabled car park

    Excellent room, comfy bed, fully stocked tea and coffee making facilities, ample fresh towels and complimentary toiletries. Impressed with the shared kitchen & 24hr drinks and food machine

    There was nothing I didn't like.

    Easy to get to, very clean,& good food, staff were all very friendly & helpful. The wildlife park was outstanding, the only thing I could find to complain about if I was looking to find something is the distance from the carpark to the hotel if it was wet.

    That you were unable to open the windows in the hotel room. Also, the sink didn't empty quick due to blockage. Be good if the thermostat (air con control) could be lowered further than 19 degrees.

    Lovely view and very modern hotel.

    Grounds at the back of the hotel where we were facing the park were scruffy. We had to get our binoculars out to see many animals from the balcony which felt like a disappointment.

    The reception isn't with the hotel. About a 2 minute walk separates theses. Some.new building works are ongoing but didn't really draw attention from the stay.

    Being central to the wildlife park makes this the ideal stopping point. Ple ty or small boutique shops also and amazing staff

    Bathroom was tired despite being a relatively new hotel. With dirty grout, cheap shower shower screen and didn’t feel like over a £209 price tag. Same with the overall fixtures and fittings in the room it was ok but I expected a more luxury experience for the price tag
