Fantastic Sunday Lunch

“During my stay, I dined at the restaurant for Sunday lunch, and I must say it was the best I've ever had. The meal featured lovely vegetables, tender meat, crispy potatoes, and enormous Yorkshire puddings that were just mouthwatering. The presentation of the food was really good, making the dining experience even more good.” view full review

Excellent Spa Treatments

“I had the pleasure of indulging in some spa treatments during my visit, and they were simply excellent! Unlike many places that have restrictions on weekend deals, this spa had a relaxed atmosphere that allowed me to fully enjoy my experience. It was rejuvenating and just what I needed after a long day of exploring.” view full review

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.
