Liked: This is a lovely traditional hotel in an excellent location. I had an lovely quiet room facing the garden at the front of the hotel. The rooms have everything you could want, an excellent hair dryer, an iron and ironing board and a fan. The breakfast is excellent if you don't mind serving yourself from the buffet.
Disliked: As this is an older hotel it doesn't have air conditioning in the bedrooms.

A great hotel at a...

Liked: Loved the decor and historic connections to the hotel.Location great to explore Harrogate.Breakfast very good apart from running out of hash browns!
Disliked: We arrived at about 1 pm and knew check it was was check in at which was fine.However to get parking as proving difficult until thankfully a Gentleman was leaving as we were debating where else to park.We looked around Harrogate and went back to the hotel about 4.30 to have a rest as we had had a very hectic weekend in Ripon!Unfortunately for us the event that had taken place at the hotel was being dismantled and was incredibly noisy with transferring the structures to the van,constant beeping which was constant for the time we had to rest before going out.The dismantling and removing obviously had to be done, just unfortunate fr us when we wanted a peaceful couple of hours !
