1. Kings Head Masham by Chef and Brewer Collection

Ripon

"Nice hotel in a beautiful location on the edge of the market square in Masham. The staff were really friendly and our room was good, it's a shame the bar closes early, we were up there for a gig at the Town Hall and wanted a drink afterwards with our friends, luckily the Bruce Arms were very accommodating. A nice place to stay, a shame there were no biscuits in the rooms for your afternoon cuppa though."

"Clean room, helpful reception and cleaning staff!"

Classic Lodges The Old Swan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely historic hotel, delicious breakfast."

The Harrogate Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"This is a good looking hotel, outside the floral decorations were beautiful and the outside seating was great. Inside the bar and restaurant areas were very impressive. Checkin was a bit slow as a few people were waiting,but another member of staff appeared and we were seen to efficiently. Our room, standard double, pet friendly, was fairly standard. We looked out onto a fire escape and a unit (air con?) was noisy during the day, but not at night. Space wise it was a bit tight, but we have a large German Shepherd, and there was not a lot of room for him. The bed was large and really comfortable, nice bedding. Bathroom was good, the shower cubicle was spacious and the shower powerful. Lovely toiletries provided. We had two dinners, very good, and breakfast was varied and plentiful. The staff were all friendly and professional and we appreciated being able to bring our dog to somewhere nice."

The Yorkshire

8/10 Good
