Hotels Near Joules in Harrogate

The room and hotel were emaculataly clean, the bedroom was comfortable but basic with tea coffee soap shower foam and towels. No biscuits or hairdryer, but my wife always takes her own. The staff are super friendly and pleasant, especially Beth, who served our evening meal on both evenings, regrettably the cooked breakfast was bland but was complimented by all of the other delights on offer from cereal, fruit, fruit salad pastries, pancakes, porridge, croissants and yoghurts etc. It is ideally located for the Harrogate Centre and Harewood House and the Emmerdale experience . Attached to the hotel is a local authority run multistorey car park, although there is no direct access from the hotel to the car park hotel guests do have a separate door to the garage. Bluebadge holders park for free. I will definitely making a return trip to Harrogate.

Beautiful, comfortable and beautiful. Across the road is a huge lawn! The room was a bit small but reasonably clean. The surrounding environment is great. The English breakfast was also delicious, I ate it for 5 days in a row. The dinner is also good, the waiters are nice, Service is nice. Many elderly people come here. The water quality is a few blocks behind London.

Greeted with a friendly face and directed to reception. It’s a massive hotel old but clean and interesting. Our room 333 over looking the back of the hotel green lawn. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the tea making facilities, which were polostrine cups like takeaway ones. Maybe from Covid, and the tea milk and sugar in a tied up bag, no tray. But later on we ordered sandwiches from the bar and he said that he could get them to our room if we wanted to rather than wait in the bar for them. That’s when I asked for a real cup and he said that he would send two up with our sandwiches. Nothing is to much trouble, I would and will be staying here again.

The market town Knaresborough looked an ideal stopping point en route to London by car, just off the A1 and with stunning views from the castle which was a stronghold of medieval kings, across the River Nidd and viaduct. It's also near Mother Shipton's Cave, named after England's most famous Prophetess who lived some 500 years ago during the reign of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The cave is her legendary birthplace and near to a geological phenomenon, the Petrifying Well, England's oldest visitor attraction. Sadly, the weather closed in and driving down the rain-soaked A1, allied to an extensive delay because of traffic through Newcastle, meant it was closed when we got there. We had a walk but a chill wind forced us back to the Orchard Club Hotel situated near the centre of town. It's on the main road and easy to spot but finding the car park up a tight alleyway was a pain. We got there in the end. It is Grade II listed and was formerly the Newton House Hotel. Each room is named and styled with a particular fruit as its inspiration. Ours was comfortable if a tad old fashioned for our taste. It had everything you needed and we slept well despite our room overlooking a busy main road rear traffic lights. The breakfast choice was extensive and other guests were using it as a convenient location for touring to places like Fountains Abbey, the largest monastic ruins in the country, York and, of course, Mother Shipton's Cave.

We stayed here for 2 nights recently, as we were attending Ripon Races. We were 2 couples - 1 of whom stayed in 1 of the garden lodges and 1 of whom stayed in 1 of the classic doubles. The garden lodge room was a lovely size, opening out onto a verandah within the garden/grounds, a very peaceful location. It was a lovely and comfortable room. The classic double room, whilst smaller, was well-appointed and had everything we needed. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was really tasty. The staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, a credit to the hotel. Onsite parking was free of charge for guests. Next time we're coming for Ripon Races we will definitely stay here, it was a lovely hotel and we're very glad we booked to stay here!

Great location in the Moto services on a roundabout that leads to York, Wetherby and the A1M. Really convenient for going out. Loads of parking, although would be better if there was a dedicated area for hotel guests as the bit nearest the hotel seems to be where everyone wants to park, particularly vans. Basic budget hotel with tea and coffee facilities in the room, a TV and a shower room. Would have said it was clean until I found a babies dummy under the bed on the last morning of our 3-night stay. Odd numbered rooms face the car park. On the ground floor rooms from 021 to 037 overlook the grass between hotel and car park where people stand to smoke and everyone takes their dog to do its business. Got a bit annoying when people stood almost against our window even when it was open. Closed window pretty good at keeping out the noise day and night. Additional door in the corridor just before room 021 also cut down on the early morning shouting of people leaving their rooms. Room surprisingly quiet. Did have one issue but it was sorted out pretty swiftly by management with no argument, so can't fault them on service. Breakfast is available for £7 but not much variety. Some cereals, yogurt, fruit, cheese and bread/cakes. Greggs next door much cheaper.

We booked slightly conerned that there might be disturbing noise from the busy road..but absolutely delighted with how quiet the Grantham Arms is! Both from inside and out! Staff welcomed us warmly and we were soon settled into our clean, well appointed, comfortable room for a four night stay. All our meals were a delight, the menu varied, catering for my dietry requirements perfectly. Even better, coeliac was properly understood and Joe even provided extra GF breakfast cereal for me! Friends who enjoy dining out where good food is available came to join us from Wetherby for one lunch, were equally impressed. The whole short break was excellent and we shall, all being well, look forward to staying again.

Only spent one night here and next time it'll be for longer. Our bedroom was spotless and generous in size ( as was the bathroom) and the bed was super. Tv and coffee making facilities. The bar/dining areas are spacious and comfortable. We stayed in for dinner and I had the half Chicken on harissa spices but tbh it was a bit bland...if it's listed as harissa then give it a good coating..that being said it was cooked well. My wife had the salmon and that was fine. Breakfast was buffet style and had everything you need to start your day. There is also on site parking. It's only a few minutes stroll into town. And finally, all staff were really nice. No hesitation in recommending.
