Yes the room was clean and the staff very pleasant. However, when I returned to the hotel after 5.30pm on the Sunday evening there was no one there and the heating was turned off. Luckily I had some blankets in my van that I could put on my bed as evening and night were extremely cold.

A little hidden gem

We had a pleasant stay and the staff were very friendly. Our only issue was we found it cold although the heating was on in the room. We would come back and definitely recommend this little hotel.

Excellent value for money.

A real find, we can't believe the great value for money offered here. The room was big, well laid out and equipped with a decent bathroom and even a provate area to sit outside. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious and the staff all friendly and helpful. Excellent!

Although I was the only resident at the hotel that night I was well catered for. I was disappointed the restaurant was closed but it must have been a quiet night. My breakfast was prepared and left for me and entry instructions to the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a lovely spacious room which included a small sofa, so it was comfortable to return to in the evening and watch tv. The downside was the room was at the top of the building up two flights of stairs, so not good for people with limited mobility or heavy bags. The ensuite was very small but the shower was powerful and the towels of good quality. Just a 10 minute walk to centre of Harrogate and restaurants.
