Hotel in gardens

A lovely historic country house hotel with exquisite gardens. Near a great local pub if you don’t want 6-course meal on site. Geared towards events & weddings but still a gorgeous place to stay.

A real gem

We wanted an overnight stay on our way to the Lake District and found a perfect gem of a hotel. From the moment we arrived we were cared for by great staff. Our bedroom was a suite and just gorgeous. Dinner and breakfast were superb with plenty of choices. Wandering around the extensive beautifully manicured grounds we found the kitchen garden which is obviously used for a great deal of the food in the hotel. Just wished we could have stayed longer.

Lovely accommodation with a personal touch.

This is such a lovely place. Very personal, certainly when compared with chains. The food was excellent and the communal areas really lovely. The gardens were a nice surprise - we were expecting good landscaping but there was also really very impressive planting as well. We will be back!

We loved everything about this property! We stayed in the cottage, so each of us had a roomy bedroom. After staying in large cities for the previous week, we so welcomed walking on the quiet, peaceful, beautifully manicured trails on the property. The staff was so helpful. They booked the train for us from Leeds to London, which was an excellent experience. We couldn't have been more pleased with this property!!

Two night Stay

Beautiful property with a nice history to the hall. Room and facilities nice, although the bathroom was reasonably small. Tried on a number of occasions to get out heated towel rail fixed but all three attempts to get staff to sort the issue were unsuccessful. The evening tasting menu and service was fantastic. Overall a lovely stay.

Clean comfy and decent sized rooms, breakfast was good, the area is quiet. Nice views from the main rooms but a view of the kitchens and bins at the back for us, hence the dropped star, and that stopped it being value for money for us.

We arrived earlier in the afternoon than we thought we would after a 200+ mile drive(we didnt pre book evening meal as not sure of journey time) but after asking for an evening meal this wasnt available!! The hotel wasn`t busy and indeed very few in the restaurant ! We ordered from the menu and obtained a sandwich and some chips!! seated in the drawing room on our laps!! The room was very quiet and all appeared lovely but upon closer inspection the bathroom floor was very dusty infact dirty and the base of the toilet was filthy! we left the room on the Friday morning and put the service room hanger on the door. We had an early evening meal in Knaresborough so we didn`t have to inconvenience the kitchen! When we got back to our room about 6ish our door was left unlocked !! the sign had been turned around to donot disturb! We went to reception and they apologised and said someone had been in to replace the milk and only one small bottle of water in the fridge. It had not therefore been cleaned so we still had the dirty bathroom!! we obviously didnt leave the hanger turned around but whoever came in the room to the fridge must have done this otherwise the donot disturb was being ignored. We cut short our stay and left on the saturday after our emmerdale tour. It was a great shame as the area was worth exploring but the whole experience ruined our first trip to the area. Its a beautiful hotel but attitudes and cleaning really need to be addressed to maintain 5star

Disappointing

Disappointing stay as this hotel markets itself as the luxury market. It is not. Beautiful old building in pretty grounds but… room ( garden luxury room) was poor. Mattress was dreadful. Only one armchair which was uncomfortable and not clean. On closing the curtains moths flew out and the curtains were stained with what looked like blood - maybe from other moths. There was an anti slip mat for the shower which was filthy. The shower and wash basins drained very slowly. Furniture tired. Tiny wardrobe. Nowhere to put a suitcase. Drawing room was a beautiful room spoiled by dated, cheap furniture. Staffing issues in the evening where most staffed seemed focussed on the dining room. Breakfast in the orangerie where the seats were stained and dirty. This could be a beautiful hotel but has a way to go. This is the worst experience we’ve had with hotels.com

We stayed for a few days and found that this lovely place was full of historic character and the bed was absolutely lovely and i just could not wait to get back to just have a really good night's sleep. The staf are and very helpfel , charming and made our stay so much better. The breakfast was great and the food choice was very good. They is a front room which is great for just resting and reading a good book and nice beverage. If we ever have a the chance to visit this area , this is the first choice as the exprience was just impeccable.
