“While the food was lovely, the staff were quite unprofessional, and quite rude. There was around 6-8 bar/dining staff in that day. When seated, although there were no customers in the dinning room, it took 25 minutes for anyone to come over to take our order, which only happened after prompting a staff member to come over. After a 45 minute wait, drinks came, with an apology due to the staff member forgetting to put the order into the system. (No complimentary drinks or discount besides this error). We were told that food would be late due to this error. After another 30 minutes, food came, which was the Trio of Roasts and the Duo of Beef. While the Beef was indeed lovely, sadly the Roast Potatoes were quite overcooked, and over salty. The chicken in the Trio of Roasts was sadly overcooked and also just a wing/drumstick. However, I was told by my partner that the Duo of Beef was rather lovely. But Potatoes were also an issue. Around 4 minutes after we finished eating a staff member rushed over to ask if we wanted the desert menu, but we prompted due to the bad service we received, we would just like the bill. Which came to £70+. Sadly, this was not the service I would of expected from a place such as this, especially at the price. Will not be returning, and have told others to do so. Especially for Sunday dinner service. We also noticed while eating another dinner group coming in, receiving the same late service, besides the young staff standing in a corner, chatting and giggling to each other.”

“The interior decor is gorgeous with such comfortable seating and the staff and service were excellent. We had a Sunday roast and I ordered the sirloin with all the trimmings . Sides were extra . At nearly £25 my plate only had two thin small slices of beef which was very un generous considering the price charged. We were in a large family party for my birthday so I didn’t want to complain and spoil the atmosphere but rather thought I won’t return here or recommend this to friends . Very sad that it wouldn’t take much to change the meanness …”

“A good comfy room. Fairly quiet. Good bathroom. Food really good but limited selection. Service a bit slow but pleasant. Car entry poorly designed and exit only allows 1 vehicle so if a delivery is being made, your exit is blocked until they are finished.”

“Lovely hotel. On outskirts of Harrogate. Stayed as it was near to Harewood Hill Climb. Lovely building, garden and bedroom.”

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is the meal reviewers raise most, and opinions split sharply on it. One diner had the sirloin and found only two thin slices of beef for the price, with sides extra, while another praised the Duo of Beef but found the roast potatoes overcooked and over salty and the Trio of Roasts chicken overcooked. A regular of many years called their roast lovely. Elsewhere, diners mention the dirty burger served with beef dripping to dip it in, though one found the patty not very flavourful, and a Valentine's meal described as excellent value. Staff draw praise for friendly, welcoming service at birthday meals and on stays, with guests liking the comfy rooms, good bathrooms and garden with a pond. The recurring complaint is slow service. One reviewer waited 25 minutes to order after prompting staff, then had drinks arrive late because the order was never entered, with no compensation offered. Another calls service a bit slow but pleasant, and one notes the car exit is blocked during deliveries. The same reviewer who waited saw another group get the same late service while young staff chatted in a corner.
