"The property was in a fairytale house in a magical location. All the little extra touches - such as bathrobes and slippers. daily complimentary water, chocolate etc - were truly the icing on the cake. The staff showed a real pride in working at the Castle and truly helped to set the atmosphere. Check-in and out were brilliant. The restaurant was superb with a jaw-dropping view of the Castle and sumptuous breakfast. If you think I seem enthusiastic it is because I am!"

Top Leeds Hotel Reviews

Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room itself was clean and quite adequate. Not very quiet though, music carried thru the pipes and arguments in the hallways were very audible. The carpet in some of the hallways needed cleaning. The key cards never worked more than once and had to be replaced about every time we left the room. The layout of the hotel was also strange with a lot of switch backs through corridors to reach the lobby."

The Spa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I regularly choose to stay here for the great breakfast, nifty little gym and lovely rooms. The staff are lovely and it is always a lovely rest."

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, nice breakfast, ideally located. Lots of parking. Will definitely book again."

Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Stayed in the mews which was a five minute walk from the main hotel. Spa was okay, but small. Plus there was an aqua aerobics class going on in the pool blasting Wham. Not very relaxing. Food and drink were as you'd expect from such a location. Recommended"

Bridgewood Manor

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we could only get luke warm water in the bathroom. First day only one coffee machine was working so quite a long queue. The other machine was fixed the next day.."

Holiday Inn Ashford North A20 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good location for the Channel Tunnel and amenities in Ashford. Good breakfast. TVs need an upgrade in the rooms though! Bathroom ok, not amazing"

The Inn on the Lake Hotel

8/10 Good

"The lake is beautiful"

The Black Horse Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean accommodation! Staff were tremendous, especially the breakfast team!"
