Hotels Near Moor Park in Harrogate

We had been looking forward to staying in an up-market four-star hotel in up-market Harrogate; we were sorely disappointed. Things started to go wrong before we checked-in; we enquired about secure parking; we were told that the secure parking was directly in front of the hotel, not our idea of secure. We were, somewhat curtly, informed that it was full and that we would have to park on the street. No mention was made of use of the off-street parking availability at the sister hotel a few hundred meters down the hill, which we later understood could be used at the residents’ rate (£15 per night). We checked in to our “Deluxe Double Room”, our idea of “deluxe” is at complete variance to what we found; there was absolutely nothing deluxe about the room. The heating was off and the room cold. It was sp****ly furnished with, furniture that at best was Ikea, but more likely MFI. The windows were ill-fitting and had large gaps at the sides and bottom, allowing cold air in. The bathroom was sp****ly equipped with taps that are more style than functionality, it was impossible to turn the shower tap off with wet hands. The toilet seat was loose. The towel rail barely took the chill off the room. The room was not serviced on day two, for no apparent reason. We were later informed that the room was deluxe as it has a view to the front. The breakfast facilities are grossly inadequate, such that guests are required to request an allocated time. The self-service area is cramped and congested. There was only one toasting machine that required the bread to be put in twice to achieve acceptable results, increasing the congestion. We were allocated a slot towards the end of the breakfast period, some of the cooked food was not available and we were told that because it was the end of breakfast, no more would be cooked. Very far divorced from four-star service. To my mind, an English breakfast requires marmalade, the little pots of orange coloured jelly are what I might expect in a cheap boarding-house, not a four-star hotel. This hotel is one to avoid, it lets Harrogate and Yorkshire down in a big way. p.s I sent a copy of this to the duty managers for their comment before I posted it; they did not bother to reply.

I had a four night stay in a double room in this lovely city centre hotel. Check in was friendly and efficient and my room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Refreshments and toiletries were of a good standard and housekeeping was great during my stay. I loved the robe and slippers! The buffet style breakfast was terrific - fresh, varied and tasty - with the ability to order extra/specific items. I used the bar once and liked the variety of beverages on offer and the service was good. The rail station is only a 10-15 minute walk away, with shopping and lots of restuarants only 10 mins walk away, and all the tourist sites within 10-20mins of the hotel. There is a busy conference centre next door and there was building work going on, but this didn't affect my sleep quality - the beds are amazing!

Beautiful, comfortable and beautiful. Across the road is a huge lawn! The room was a bit small but reasonably clean. The surrounding environment is great. The English breakfast was also delicious, I ate it for 5 days in a row. The dinner is also good, the waiters are nice, Service is nice. Many elderly people come here. The water quality is a few blocks behind London.

From check in to check out, what a friendly, olde world place this is, Arrived early into a very small courtyard car park which we did find a space, though there is ample parking next door as the owners have bought next door to re develop, shown straight to our room by a lovely, friendly lady Our room was on the road, to the left of the archway, we had our own front door which took us in to a lovely little hallway and a delightful room, probably one of the cleanest we've stayed in and I've stayed in lots of high end hotels, The noise from the road at night could have been a problem but we were provided with ear plugs which we didn't use, The breakfast choice was amazing for a B & B, all freshly cooked to order and Karen our waitress was lovely, felt we'd known her all our lives, a lovely lady, a credit to the business, Right opposite the bus station so if you wanted to go to York or Harrogate, buses on the doorstep, Plenty of eating places and pubs, quiz night and market day on Wednesday with its own town crier, what a treat Knaresborough....what a beautiful place, plenty of walks along the river nydd, beautiful buildings and of course the viaduct, Castle and gardens, was probably the hottest day of the year so we couldn't manage a further walk to mother shiptons caves but that will be for another day

A really lovely, rustic, warm venue, a little out of Harrogate away from the busyness. It's easy to find as it's just off the A61. We had a super-king room, it was in a little out-house next to the Inn, you walk past a pretty garden surrounded by fairy lights. The room had a very log cabin feel, clean and quiet with a lovely view of the garden. We had dinner in the Inn (the mushroom and spinach pie was incredible) prices were reasonable; £18 for a Pie meal and a drink on a Monday. Breakfast from 8 - 10am, it was the best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel! We ordered Smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, presented beautifully and tasted amazing; Cereals, pastries, overnight oats, yogurt and fruit available to help yourself to. The best part of the whole experience was the staff; every encounter we had with a member of staff was a positive one, they did what they could to make your stay an enjoyable one and dealt with any request with hast and were all extremely friendly. Tymo who greeted us and showed us to our room, the tall man and young blonde girl that served us at dinner, the older gentleman who served us at breakfast (super friendly and professional with a great sense of humor) I feel bad that we didn't get all of their names, but we literally couldn't fault any of them! A fantastic venue and truly deserving of a 5*, we would highly recommend it.

Great location in the Moto services on a roundabout that leads to York, Wetherby and the A1M. Really convenient for going out. Loads of parking, although would be better if there was a dedicated area for hotel guests as the bit nearest the hotel seems to be where everyone wants to park, particularly vans. Basic budget hotel with tea and coffee facilities in the room, a TV and a shower room. Would have said it was clean until I found a babies dummy under the bed on the last morning of our 3-night stay. Odd numbered rooms face the car park. On the ground floor rooms from 021 to 037 overlook the grass between hotel and car park where people stand to smoke and everyone takes their dog to do its business. Got a bit annoying when people stood almost against our window even when it was open. Closed window pretty good at keeping out the noise day and night. Additional door in the corridor just before room 021 also cut down on the early morning shouting of people leaving their rooms. Room surprisingly quiet. Did have one issue but it was sorted out pretty swiftly by management with no argument, so can't fault them on service. Breakfast is available for £7 but not much variety. Some cereals, yogurt, fruit, cheese and bread/cakes. Greggs next door much cheaper.

We booked here to celebrate being together five years & loved it. Staff are brilliant, such a friendly kind bunch. The food is so tasty, though the burger was slightly disappointing but everything else including breakfast was so fresh & tasty. Our junior suite was beautiful, so tranquil, so spacious & perfect for our stay. Carparking isn't ideal but other than that was excellent value for money. Thank you to all your team & we will be back, even if just for the Scotch Egg!!!! Lovely stay.
