Location superb, delicious breakfast , comfortable stay
Pros:

The location was superb - right in centre of Knaresborough AND it had free parking facilities.
Also had a lovely lounge with games/books where guests can relax.
Very helpful, welcoming, knowledgeable host who recommended an excellent restaurant for evening meal.
Delicious well cooked tasty vegi and meat breakfast.

Cons:

One niggle… The central heating wasn’t working and so had to have a portable oil heater.
Room just a little jaded ( tired net curtains/paint work old on windows) - needs a cash input to make it more appealing.- could be a fantastic boutique hotel with a makeover.

A unique stay and well worth it
Pros:

We had a very smooth check-in, there were very clear instructions before we got there and got a space in their car park (there was lots of room). We loved the decor and style of this hotel, it was a bit like staying in a vintage shop. We stayed in the Apple room, which was huge and surpassed all expectations. We had a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning, it was very nice that they were able to cater for veggie and vegan.

Parking was easy and convenient.
Great location minutes’ walk from the market place and Castle.

Decor around fire doors felt a little tired.

A great place to stay for a weekend in one of North Yorkshire's finest towns!
Pros:

Very comfortable room, lovely welcome and great breakfast!

Cons:

Weather was too hot! No-one's fault of course, and you did supply a room fan to be fair. Parking a little tricky to find as it's not through the main arch but down an alley to the side.

Comfortable town centre hotel with friendly staff
Pros:

Friendly staff, comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Close to Knaresborough town centre. Free off road parking. Recommended

Cons:

We had a room at the back, and although the Outlook was not particularly attractive, it was quiet. The rooms on the road side are likely to be noisy.
