The hotel had a bit of a smell when being cleaned, but the rooms looked gorgeous. It was quite noisy due to the bar/restaurant below. The service staff were very pleasant and helpful, though sometimes scarce. The location was perfect for attending a funeral but not right in the center of Knaresborough. The dining experience was decent with a good variety of options. The hotel lacked some selection for breads, meats, and cheeses at meals.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The beautifully decorated Christmas rooms across the dining area created a cozy atmosphere. However, the initial unpleasant stale smell in my room dampened my arrival experience at 6 pm.

The service was pleasant during check-in and meals, but a bit abrupt on Saturday morning. Despite this, I managed to get a good night's sleep despite a wedding event happening.
