Upon first entering the reception is nice. It looks to have had a recent refurb. The receptionist was welcoming. We were given a room on the third floor, there is a lift. The layout of the hotel was like a rabbit warren a confusing at times, but we found our way around. Upon entering the room it had a lounge, bathroom and bedroom, which would have been lovely. Unfortunately it was very tired and in need of a good clean, paint and new carpets / curtains.
The hotel looks to be part way through a refurbishment, which when completed could be lovely. It is such a shame as the location is fabulous for Piece Hall and town.
Breakfast was a slice of bread / toast with a slice of ham, cheese or honey. There was also a hot water boiler for tea / coffee. Really not enticing and due to the room and breakfast we chose to leave earlier than planned.
There is a car park next door, which if staying for a while would be expensive, but you can get a YPS space just up the road, a short walk away, for a fraction of the price.
