Makeney Hall Hotel

Beautiful old building and gardens but unfortunately it’s not well maintained. The older rooms are good sizes but tatty, we had cobwebs and dust in the bathroom plus mildew on bedroom and bathroom windows. However the linen was lovely quality and it wąs quiet and warm for an older building. We won’t be returning.

Lovely large room with a great view. Breakfast was very disappointing…mushrooms hardly cooked anemic and general quality and lack of availability spoilt our morning. We expected better given its an extra cost. Would definitely stay again as hotel is gorgeous but would be good if the hotel can improve its breakfast service. Thanks

A lovely Hotel, only comment is that is quite large and obviously expensive to heat so was cold. The Room did have an additional blow heater but the Restaurant and Bar needs to be warmer in cold weather

Stayed last year and loved it, booked again as a birthday treat for the wife and we weren't disappointed. Love the beautiful old building, rooms are comfortable and quite spacious, yes some might need a bit of attention but all clean and the staff are great. We booked the dinner and breakfast option, the food is very good and great value. Bar is not overpriced and two minutes walk to one of the areas finest real ale pubs. Lots of walking and cycling routes in the area. No doubt we will be back.

We spent three relaxing days here.1st class room in the courtyard, helpful staff, excellent breakfast and evening meals. Ideal for driving up into the Dales. Although we didn’t explore the grounds, in the spring / summer they would certainly be worth a look.

avoid at all costs, overpriced, used tampons on the ground, stagnant and stale water in the bathrooms, rooms loud and smell of wet dog. 4 star prices for 2 star experience, breakfast a mess on the first morning. location is decent, good parking options. pretty building and gardens. staff are pleasant and helpfil

Really lovely hotel and nice staff.

We booked an overnight stay in an executive king room. On arrival the hotel looked lovely and the receptionist was friendly. We were given room 11. A huge room, but very very dated and very cold with condensation running down the single glazed windows. The thermostatic control was missing off the radiator and while the heating was on in the bathroom, the radiator in the room was stone cold. The bathroom was seriously dated, pampas suites were used in the 1970s and the corner bath was tiny. It’s not great to see ikea mugs in an executive suite. My partner lay on the bed and there were springs poking through the mattress. He phoned reception who promised a heater… when non arrived my partner went to reception to see if we could have another room. He was given the key to room 12. We walked in and one look at the bed raised questions, clearly a pocket duvet, that had clumps of filling in the pockets that needed fluffing out. The bed was also lumpy and uncomfortable. We were finally moved to the China suite: much better, although not really warm enough even with the rads on 5. We tucked the curtains behind the rads to try and get more heat, but really they were struggling with the single glazing. The shower was inadequate, you had to keep moving to get wet as the water pressure is too low. And the sink drainage was extremely poor. It epitomises faded grandeur, more money needs to be spent on plumbing and heating, 50 year old bathroom suites don’t command the title ‘executive king’. We didn’t
