Lovely inn with comfortable bed and free parking. We enjoyed a good dinner and breakfast. Staff were very friendly and although service was a little slow at dinnertime, they did warn us in advance about ordering at busy times. Handy location for Knaresborough within walking distance of all attractions.

Lovely hotel. We had a room for 3 of us and a dog and was really spacious. Breakfast selection was great and plenty of space in the bar restaurant each evening/morning. Walking distance to the town centre and the river. Our only complaint was how hot the room was even though none of the radiators were on. But we just left the window open all day and it was a much more comfortable temperature.
