Chequers Inn

Arden House

"My friend was staying here and both the owners were absolutely lovely and accommodative. They very kindly let me use the hotel's facilities before I made the long drive back home to London. Really genuine people who deserve nothing but the best! Will definitely consider staying here at my next trip to Harrogate. Thank you!"

The Willow Bed and Breakfast

"Situated in the heart of Pateley Bridge, tucked away behind the High street, The Willow bed and breakfast, provided a lovely clean and comfortable room. The small fridge with fresh milk and bottled water was much appreciated. Plenty of coffee, tea etc provided and the chocolate treats were a lovely surprise. Although the ensuite was very small it was perfectly adequate. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was freshly cooked, beautifully presented, generous and very tasty, indeed, the best we have had in a long while and we have eaten a lot of breakfasts! The small restaurant also caters for the public and we would anticipate that the quality of the food at other times of the day would also be exceptional We would definitely recommend."

The Franklin

"Well, 3.5 stars. There is no doubt that Dan is a welcoming and informative host. He cooks a good breakfast too. The hotel is close to and convenient to the town centre, which is good - though I can’t agree with other reviews saying the street is quiet: it wasn’t when I was there thanks to building work and very early morning refuse collection but perhaps on other days it is fine. Noise disturbance from the adjoining property was more of an issue, walls are thin. For me, though, the Franklin has some other downsides. I stayed in the ‘deluxe’ room and wouldn’t again. For sure, the room is quite large and faces the street. But perhaps this is why the room was so very cold; the radiator wasn’t up to the job. A hot water bottle is available, but I don’t want to be relying on that to be warm. There is a seating area promoted on the room description but the seats are two hard and really uncomfortable dining chairs. Ten minutes on one of them was more than enough. Room furnishing is an eclectic mix, including a massive oriental decorative fan and a massive wardrobe adorned with plastic shrubbery which all seemed a bit odd. What really drags down my opinion was the shower: it drains very, very slowly which is fine if only for the fact that the water is such a woeful dribble from the shower head the drain can just about cope. Stay here by all means but I would opt for one of the side rooms, which at least have an armchair and maybe better water pressure."
