Great historic location for discovering the Dales and enjoying a right good Yorkshire welcome.

The staff were very welcoming and pleased to see us which was nice
The bar area was noisy but we liked the atmosphere.
We did have a bit of reveller noise in room, No. 6 but it didn't bother us.
The food, breakfast and evening meals were excellent
Remote permit parking provided by the hotel free of charge, not a problem
Amazing river walk.

The cooler unit in the room was too noisy to use.

Last Minute Getaway.
Pros:

Staff, food and facilities were excellent. Room was great. Spotless and modern.

Cons:

Our room was far to warm due to the good weather. We had a heavy duvet and no air-conditioning so it was quite uncomfortable.

Excellent friendly staff, food, room, location. Will definetly be back.
Pros:

Breakfast ranged from full english to a boiled egg. Top quality ingredients too. Plenty of tea and ground coffee. helpfull staff.

Our room was upgraded and it had dog beds, dishes and treats supplied (Dog friendly is why we chose this hotel and they charge a reasonable fee compared to most). The room was very clean with a decent selection of drinks + biscuits.

Cons:

Only complaints - and theyre really minor, was a extremely loud squeeky wardrobe door and bedside lighting could benfit from a more powerful bulb.
