As we both have mobility issues the room was a bit far from the main section of the hotel not a big issue really

Cheerful staff nothing was to much trouble lovely decor

The dinner menu was adequate but not particularly extensive although the choice of fish and chips was a good one. A good wine list with plenty of choice for both pallet and budget

The staff are very welcoming and friendly offering a piece of carrot cake as a welcome treat. The Molton Brown goodies are always welcome, as were the good selection of teas, coffees and biscuits provided in the room. The room was spacious, comfortable and a pleasant although slightly nondescript decor. The bed large with sumptuous pillows and thankfully a proper duvet rather than the cheap and nasty ones so oft used in bigger hotels. The dinner was good although see comments below. The staff attentive and the Maitre D knowledgeable and friendly

Hard to find any fault.

Although it was less than a mile from the A1, the hotel was set in quiet grounds with a lovely garden. The hotel facilities were excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.

More charging points or an efficient system. Other guests put cars on charge and left on until leaving. I booked this hotel because they advertised Electric car charging. However there were only 2. charging points and both constantly in use so could not charge my car.

Stunning location

Please take this as constructive criticism, the lack of disability parking (2bays) for the size of the Hotel which are not marked very well, infact are painted blue on the floor and hard to see in the dark. No other signage to indicate the disability parking bays. This probably was the reason why a Mercedes G Wagon was parked in one of the bays without a blue badge showing. Also the other option for me to park was an EV charging bay which again not very clear signage, 2 bays both with cars parked that where not EVs. Last time we stayed we had breakfast in the dining room, this time we had to eat in a small lounge room and go into another room for drinks etc although the cooked breakfast was served at the table.

Ambience and view from our room. Everything was perfect, clean and very presentable. Nice comfy bed plus a big settee. Cooked breakfast was excellent, all fresh and hot.

The bathroom was a little dirty. The grout had some mould on it and the sink round the plug hole was dirty. The cooked breakfast was very disappointing it was included with my room but I wouldn’t have been happy if I had to pay the price it was on the menu for us to get what we got.

The setting was beautiful

Some miscommunication over the EV chargers but quickly resolved

Greeted with a smile and a homemade piece of cake at reception and then shown to a comfortable room with all necessary amenities. Needless to say the Molton Brown toiletries were exceptional as were the tea making facilities with biscuits / chocolates thrown in. The restaurant was well appointed with a good range of beer and wine. The staff were attentive and friendly without being obtrusive. Similarly, the breakfast food variety and serving staff were of an equivalently high standard.

I’d take beans with my cooked breakfast but apart from that I can’t fault it

A spacious, very comfortable room (we were given a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite) with classical music playing as we entered the room - a nice touch after a Friday evening rush hour drive. The WiFi is very fast if you’re on business and the hotel is ideally located just off the A1 (but far enough away that you wouldn’t know it was there) to break up a trip from London to Northumbria. Staff were very attentive and communication before arriving was superb. Breakfast on weekends is served from 08:30 but they were happy to bring both cooked and continental breakfast to our room at 07:30 so that we could get an earlier start.

No cup provided small enough to fit the coffee machine.

Very warm and welcoming in mid winter, lovely village location. My evening meal was expensive, but worth every penny. Superb breakfast.

The directions on the website simply link to Google Maps which (coming from the north) tries to take you down a farm track from Darrington

Couldn't have breakfast on Christmas Day morning because the first available slot was at 9.45 - much too late! We have stayed here for many years & this is the first time we have not been able to have breakfast. Also, the configuration of the shower in our bathroom was tricky - we had to stand in the bath to switch on the shower because the screen did not move to allow access to the shower controls, so a bracing start to the day! .

The bedrooms are very comfortable, spacious & quiet. We also loved the festive vibe created by the lovely decorations.

It isn't a cheap choice but then, you get what you pay for. Fair value I think overall. Would I stay again - absolutely, if I was in the area for a meeting or special family visit. I'd also say that if you prefer somewhere with lots of facilities on-site, e.g., a gym or large bar area etc... it is unlikely to be 1st choice but for what I was after, it was spot on. Location within minutes of the A1 (south of Pontefract, North of Barnsely and the M18 junction) is both a positive and negative - negative in the sense that the hotel isn't located in the midst of Yorkshire's most stunning countryside so those seeking serious country walks etc may well select somewhere a bit more off the beaten track.

A super-comfortable - and elegant, 'country' boutique hotel that exudes quality at every turn. Warm, thoughtfully appointed and spacious rooms, with extremely comfortable bed with lovely linen, nice small touches in the room such as 'treats tray' and nice toiletries etc... Staff friendly and professional, lovely seasonal decorations and a welcoming feel to the place overall. The Wentbridge is quite well known in the area as a place to go for a special meal or afternoon tea and I have to say the breakfast was beautifully done (cooked fresh to order) and the dining room itself stylish without standing on ceremony. If you're after lots of facilities, this place won't be 1st choice - BUT if you seek a wonderfully comfortable place to rest your head for the night then this is your spot if you're heading through Yorkshire up the A1.
