Helperby Holidays from £654

The beds were not comfortable, and there was no airflow in the rooms, so we were hot. We had an outside entrance to our room, so that was not a good idea. The shower was nice.

The room was lovely and the bathroom as very clean. The toiletries were really nice and luxurious. I visited on a very hot day, and it was difficult to sleep without air conditioning.

When we first arrived, I thought "oh, no". Lobby is dark, entire place is tucked away, no A/C, and no lift. We had to haul our luggage up 37 steps of a NARROW, spiral staircase. Our room was clean and adequate, and actually had the biggest, nicest, newest shower of anyplace we've stayed so far. (4th hotel of this trip) There was a fan in the room, and they brought a second one upon our request. I'll have to admit, that even in August, with the window open and the fans, we were COMPLETELY comfortable and slept well. The location, right in the city center is very convenient. So, despite my initial skepticism, this hotel was completely satisfactory and a good value.

Everything was all just above average, expected far more. Having stayed and played at this groups properties in the past and many better ones. My small gripes are too numerous to mention. Such a shame that what could once compete with far better properties, doesn’t quite reach its potential.

The hotel is located very close to restaurants, pubs, and a beautiful park right across the street. It’s walkable into the city center with many beautiful sites and attractions.
