Hotels Near One Stop 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.

Perfect Hotel with amazing staff. We have stayed at the hotel for one night in a dinner, bed and breakfast. We have been welcomed by Rebecca and Honor. Both of them helped us with the check in and parking. The room was very well equipped. The menu options for dinner and breakfast were very tasty. On check out we had the pleasure to speak to Taylor and Gerry. Again the check out prices went very smooth. We will be definitely coming back again.

The cost of the accomodation didn’t quite match the level of service we would expect. The location is grand and the facilities are really good, as is the breakfast. However, the pool is limited to strange times for families such as during breakfast and dinner, when the middle of the day is would be more suitable. Also someone chased after us when leaving the spa to return the towels, which two children were using, rather than allowing us to leave them in our room for housekeeping to collect. The house keeping took two turns to send shampoo to our room, after a polite call, they sent shower gel instead. In summary, great food and facilities, but it’s bit awkward with children to be there and the service in the spa and housekeeping is lacking.

This charming hotel was in the ideal spot, in the heart of Harrogate. The staff make the initial great impression, very welcoming, helpful and approachable. The reception, drawing room, dining areas are beautifully decorated and well presented. Soon as you hit the bedroom floors you start to see that it's a little run down, specifically the carpets could do with a replacement and walls could have a refreshed lick of paint. My room on the 1st floor definitely seen better days and the walls are very thin and the lights are on all night in hallway which isn't great and you will be guaranteed a sleepless night unless you're a deep sleeper. They do provide you with ear plugs and cover set for your eyes but it wasn't much helpful in my case unfortunately. The room itself is well equipped with a fan which I appreciated as the rooms get very warm at night and there was no hope in opening the windows. Please clean the bins thoroughly as the limescale on the bathroom bin in room 126 was bit gross. I do hope that there are future plans to redecorate the bedrooms and hallway as this would really lift the hotel to a better standard. Breakfast was great and the menu throughout the day must change regularly as you can only view once you arrive. There is a bar menu and 3 course dining menu. The bar menu is recommended as it has a variety of choice for all types of taste buds. I would come back as overall it did meet my needs, just don't expect that this is a 4star hotel, it's the service and location that make this hotel a good stay.

Lovely stay with my friend in a twin room. I think the room reflected the price we paid, although spacious it was a little jaded. Super clean bathroom & bedding, comfy beds & enough storage. The room was dark, net curtains were torn & the papered ceiling begining to peel. Room was at back of hotel overlooking rooftops. The rest of the the hotel was spick and span with a lovely dining room and a great breakfast. Loved the position of the hotel, very central & the olde world feel of it. All staff very pleasent and helpful.

We were so excited for our luxury afternoon tea with champagne……………. (65 pound!!!) What a disappointment. Bar staff friendly but all guests had to shout them as they stand behind the door chatting. After shouting the lady she led us to our ‘sofa’ with a table cloth on the coffee table. Very disappointing, no1 else having afternoon tea. Just guests checking into the hotel. A dog on the next table, drunk guests very loud. Felt like we were in the middle of a waiting room…. Felt abit stupid. Champagne was ok- staff didn’t make it feel very special. Afternoon tea came, yes the food was nice. But we just felt uncomfortable on the sofa eating off a coffee table. No music, just background noise of people checking into the hotel. My partner asked for no pickle on the sandwiches which was ignored. I think it all was pre made as the sandwiches were a little hard on the edges. 6 cakes each, which was a lot! And only 4 small fingers of sandwich each, no other savoury. No offer of other drinks. We left and mentioned to the staff at reception that it was very poor. And he said sorry but there’s nothing he can do…… very rubbish services from main reception. I will defiantly not be returning as it was the worst afternoon tea I’ve had - and extremely over priced. It wasn’t even worth 20 pound!

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.
