Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a letdown, with strong cooking smells and a lack of space and amenities. However, the service was friendly, and the location was peaceful and comfortable.
The hotel is set in a fabulous location in the Dales with lovely views of the surrounding hills. The rooms are exquisite, but in need of some maintenance. The service, while from friendly and helpful staff, felt a bit impersonal. Dining was delicious with plenty of choice, although the service could be quicker. Extra charges for Wi-Fi were a downside.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was superb, the staff provided excellent service, but the room fell short with some disappointing aspects. Overall, a mixed experience.
