The hotel is located very close to the centre of Harrogate, with permit parking outside just a few hundred yards away. The rooms offer double duvets, lovely fluffy towels, and all amenities with a very comfortable bed. The service, especially the housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience was delightful with delicious sausages from Richard's butchers shop, catering to all tastes. However, there seemed to be a lacking in muesli options for breakfast.
