Pros:

Lovely breakfast and friendly staff

Cons:

The room we had was on the very busy main street with traffic lights outside which meant revving engines and loud car radios. This meant it took a long time to get to sleep as the road was very busy until really late. The bed was comfy enough but it was a four poster and creaked every time you moved. It was nice and warm in the room in the morning but not that warm when we checked in.

exelant stay.
Pros:

What's not to like at the Orchard Club Hotel? I sent a message to the property asking if we could park up in advance of booking in at 4.00 pm. The reply was yes, of course. We arrived at 12.45 to let it be known we had parked up. The young Lady asked if we would like to check in as the room was ready. The Hotel is more or less in the Town centre. The Hotel has a lot of quirky features in line with an older building. The bed was a super King and comfy, I say this with 50 years as a bed maker behind me. The breakfast was more than enough to fill you up for hours. Plus, all the staff were approachable and professional. Next time in Knaresborough, we shall try to book here.

Cons:

nothing was all good.
