The hotel is nestled in a comfortable area, offering traditionally furnished rooms that are lovely decorated and spotlessly clean with lovely cotton linens. While the rooms are very comfortable, they could benefit from a modern touch, especially in the mattresses.

Rooms

My room was lovely decorated, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The lovely cotton linens added a nice touch. However, the bed could do with a new mattress.

Service

9.0

I have to say a big thank you to all the staff who went out of their way to make my dinner and breakfast lovely. They were very accommodating when I needed a room change, eventually getting me room 37 which was ideal. The staff are friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, even remembering my name the next time I visited.

Location

7.0

The hotel is situated in a 17th-century house with comfortable, fully modern facilities and wonderful gardens surrounding the building. While it's in an outside of Halifax through a housing estate, the lawned area is perfect for relaxation.

Dining

9.0

The dining experience was delightful, with options like salmon & scrambled eggs or a full breakfast that were fab. The locally produced bacon and sausage, along with the home-made black pudding, were exceptional. However, some staff at breakfast were not as friendly as I would have expected.

Facilities

9.0

The hotel offers great dining options with delicious food and cosy atmosphere. The atmospheric dining area and options like fish and chips make it a must-visit during your stay.

6.4/10

The hotel had a tired appearance, resembling more of a wedding venue than a hotel. The room lacked little extras like bottled water, robes, and magazines, but it was spacious enough with a decent shower and separate bath, albeit not justifying the £180 price tag.

Rooms

The room felt more like a wedding venue than a hotel but was adequately sized with a nice shower and bath.

Service

The staff delivered beautifully cooked meals and were friendly, showcasing Yorkshire's hospitality. They even arranged a wonderful surprise for our last evening, despite a disturbance at 2:30 am.

Location

5.0

The location, though pretty for photos, was unexpected due to driving through an industrial area, limiting enjoyment of the lovely surroundings in the rain.

Dining

The dining experience had some highlights, including an exceptional choice of food, but was inconsistent with some disappointments like the average Sunday roast not meeting expectations.

Facilities

The facilities offered were basic and functional, not standing out remarkably.

The hotel rooms were beautifully furnished and decorated, clean, and comfortable. However, there was a considerable waiting time in the bar waiting for staff. The rooms were very comfortable and nicely decorated, with a good selection of tea and coffee making facilities. I thoroughly enjoyed the walks around the hotel's grounds.
