Yes the room was clean and the staff very pleasant. However, when I returned to the hotel after 5.30pm on the Sunday evening there was no one there and the heating was turned off. Luckily I had some blankets in my van that I could put on my bed as evening and night were extremely cold.

The reason I have given only 2stars is that there was no hot water due to the boiler being broken so I could not shower.

We had a lovely spacious room which included a small sofa, so it was comfortable to return to in the evening and watch tv. The downside was the room was at the top of the building up two flights of stairs, so not good for people with limited mobility or heavy bags. The ensuite was very small but the shower was powerful and the towels of good quality. Just a 10 minute walk to centre of Harrogate and restaurants.

The food at breakfast was absolutely delicious,I had fruit to start and there was a large amount to chose from, there was unlimited tea and coffee staff brought my food to the pub part as I was unable to climb the stairs due to my disability, Evening meal was delicious I had chicken fajitas with everything on the plate to add to the meal I Also ordered proper chips which were delicious. The Bed was really really lovely and comfortable and the room was beautiful The staff couldn’t do enough for me and they were all polite and friendly and' I really loved my time at the moorings.
