Amazing hotel/stately stay. My wife and I were looking for a relaxing stay for one night with a nice garden and near to RHS Harlow Carr. What a find. On the outskirts of Knaresborough & only 20 mins from Harrogate, the location was ideal.
The property however blew us away. The hotel is basically a converted and renovated stately home & the interior of the property has been lovingly restored by the new owners. The grounds are fantastic and worth staying there just to walk through the woodland walk, through the lime tree avenue (planted by royal visitors) and the rest of the amazing gardens.
We were welcomed by Dawn who was very friendly, but also very professional & donned her face shield before escorting us on a tour of the facilities before taking us to our room.
The garden room was amazing, with dual aspects across the main and side gardens. There was a large king bed, seating, desk, 50" TV & coffee machine, kettle and fridge.
We stayed on a Monday, when the restaurant (serving 6 or 8 course taster menu) was closed, but there is a pub serving food throughout the day and every evening only three or four minutes walk away.
A visit to the bar, to be looked after by Dawn again, followed by drinks in the drawing room or library finished the evening off well.
This isn't the place for a lively night away, but for a guest who likes a little luxury in a beautiful historic property I cannot make a higher recommendation.
I look forward to another visit in the near future.
