Best Hotels near St. Peter＇s Church, Harrogate

This charming hotel was in the ideal spot, in the heart of Harrogate. The staff make the initial great impression, very welcoming, helpful and approachable. The reception, drawing room, dining areas are beautifully decorated and well presented. Soon as you hit the bedroom floors you start to see that it's a little run down, specifically the carpets could do with a replacement and walls could have a refreshed lick of paint. My room on the 1st floor definitely seen better days and the walls are very thin and the lights are on all night in hallway which isn't great and you will be guaranteed a sleepless night unless you're a deep sleeper. They do provide you with ear plugs and cover set for your eyes but it wasn't much helpful in my case unfortunately. The room itself is well equipped with a fan which I appreciated as the rooms get very warm at night and there was no hope in opening the windows. Please clean the bins thoroughly as the limescale on the bathroom bin in room 126 was bit gross. I do hope that there are future plans to redecorate the bedrooms and hallway as this would really lift the hotel to a better standard. Breakfast was great and the menu throughout the day must change regularly as you can only view once you arrive. There is a bar menu and 3 course dining menu. The bar menu is recommended as it has a variety of choice for all types of taste buds. I would come back as overall it did meet my needs, just don't expect that this is a 4star hotel, it's the service and location that make this hotel a good stay.

A very nice room overall, but can tell the building is really old.

Greeted with a friendly face and directed to reception. It’s a massive hotel old but clean and interesting. Our room 333 over looking the back of the hotel green lawn. The only thing I wasn’t keen on was the tea making facilities, which were polostrine cups like takeaway ones. Maybe from Covid, and the tea milk and sugar in a tied up bag, no tray. But later on we ordered sandwiches from the bar and he said that he could get them to our room if we wanted to rather than wait in the bar for them. That’s when I asked for a real cup and he said that he would send two up with our sandwiches. Nothing is to much trouble, I would and will be staying here again.

It's just that the facilities are too old. It would be better if the facilities can be improved. The room is relatively large. For me, the location is more convenient. There is no air-conditioning and there is a garden. I feel that it should be refurbished to be worthy of the price.

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.

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
