Getaway spa relax with a friend

Pros: The decor throughout the hotel was amazing. The view and comfy twin beds. The location was stunning. The spa and the food in the hotel. The toiletries in the bathroom were top-notch. The drinks and fresh milk in the fridge.

Cons: Some difficulty getting in and out of the shower. Window sills need a repaint. Would of liked a safe.

Relaxing peaceful and beautiful

Pros: I love this hotel it’s so relaxing with beautiful scenery. The staff are wonderful so friendly and helpful ! Food incredible ! Walk around Bolton Abbey amazing ! Devonshire spa so lovely !

Cons: The only negatives were the bed head in our room had faded quite a bit and there were a few bits that the dog found under bedside table so not cleaned 100 per cent ! We didn’t like the wall paper in the Brasserie .

A beautiful hotel in a great location, with great access to beautiful walks on the estate and along the Wharfe.

Pros: A very relaxing atmosphere with very friendly and helpful staff. The open fire at the entrance provided a very welcoming start to our stay.

A fantastic mini-break in a beautiful hotel with glorious grounds, friendly staff and wonderful food

Pros: Quality of food was very good. Staff were super friendly, polite and efficient. We enjoyed the setting and the peaceful nature of the hotel. Loved having all the fires lit and cozy corners to sit in (especially the dog room). The Spa and the Spa manager was excellent. The gentleman on reception when we checked in and checked out was very efficient and helpful.

Cons: Minor point, but maybe some areas were a little bit dated although we could see things were being done to improve.

We loved our stay so much and would love to return..

Pros: Breakfast was delicious and a treat to be able to mix and match what we ate. The sausages were particularly good. Lovely room to eat in. Exceptional service at reception - the gentleman who looked after us (sorry for not remembering his name!) helped us plug in our electric car and we charged overnight for FREE - what a great service! And when I left my watch in the spa he went and got it and brought it to our room. Amazing walk to the Abbey at dusk. Very cosy in our rooms - nice touch giving us free flapjacks. Loved the Yorkshire tea bags.

Cons: Dinner was good but a bit cold and quite small portions. Quite a soul-less dining room, not very cosy or atmospheric. Disappointed to see calories on the menu as I was with my daughter who has an eating disorder so choosing food instantly becomes challenging.

A lovely, relaxing break, not far from home.

Pros: The location and views. The attentiveness of some of the staff. The food - we had our evening meal in the Brasserie, then breakfast in the Garden Room. The ambience of the whole place. The spa facilities.

Cons: Nothing to add here.

David 9/10

Can’t say much more than above! We were there for a family wedding and everything was great.

Pros: What a wonderful location! Room very comfortable and staff very friendly Service for both dinner and breakfast excellent, perhaps slightly slower than some, but really friendly and attentive. Overall highly commended.

Cons: Nothing. I guess parking could be a little problematic but we didn’t have a problem.

Catherine 10/10

Pros: The staff. The comfort. The bed. The log fires. The spa. The food. The welcome. The location. The walks.

Cons: Nothing. It was amazing
