Warm, friendly staff and comfortable room
Great friendly welcome and comfortable room, albeit there was (understandably) some noise which is to be expected with rooms attached to a pub. Breakfast offering was good with the staff to be highly commended for a very warm welcome to breakfast and general housekeeping.

Great stay, lovely meal in restaurant although not enough staff serving in bar area meant a bit of a wait for drinks and to order food etc.
Very dog friendly, will definitely come back!

Dog friendly - done right
We chose Knaresborough for its location and The Inn for its stated dog friendliness. From the moment I called to add our dog to the booking to our departure it was clear that this is not an establishment that just 'accepts dogs'. It has gone out of its way to plan for them. Our room had external access that facilitated keeping the hotel clean after walks as well as easy loo breaks. The dog menu was a hit too.
