Heerlijk
Pros:

Geweldige sfeer, fantastisch personeel, heerlijk eten, prachtig historisch gebouw

Cons:

Je verwacht zo'n hotel in een landelijke omgeving maar je ligt middenin een treurig industrieterrein (waar je overigens helemaal geen last van hebt)

Great visit and would highly recommend if you’re going to Yorkshire
Pros:

Exceptionally nice place and food and service were excellent.

Cons:

Nothing. Bed was a slightly but small but myself and wife are both 6ft so sometimes can’t be helped. Maybe I should have asked for an upgrade from the outset

Average
Pros:

The staff were lovely, everyone was polite and friendly. The cocktails and breakfast were very good, dinner was ok. Good tea and coffee selection in the room.

Cons:

The room was tired, dated, everything looked cheap and the carpet was so dirty I didn't want to walk on it. Definitely not what you expect from a 4* hotel... Also, pillows were so hard.

In addition, wine is absordely expensive for a very average selection.

Pros:

Friendly staff.

Cons:

WiFi Internet was very poor, constantly having to re-enter the password, and no security certificate so some sites would not work.
Received about 20 emails prior to our visit.
Breakfast was mediocre and expensive.

A real gem!
Pros:

Great location. On site parking. Beautiful 17th century manor house. Loved the gardens. Flying visit to visit friends in Keighley so we didn't book for an evening meal. Breakfast was yummy. Quality ingredients, good choice, well cooked and presented. Pleasant, informative, attentive staff. Bedroom nicely furnished with all basic necessities provided. We definitely intend to return and stay longer.

Cons:

Nothing.

Very pleasant and comfortable overnight stay. Would happily go again.
Pros:

Lovely old building. cleverly converted. Staff notably friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Slightly disappointed in the dinner. Starters were bland (cheese soufflé) or meagre (wild mushrooms) and the lamb rump listed as a special (not cheap) was fatty and tough with not much edible meat. Desserts very good and wine reasonably priced.
