A lovely 22 bed hotel tucked away in a tranquil area of Bingley. Lovely staff and large car park. Generous breakfast. A little old fashioned, but that is a positive.

Found online and called direct to book family room and then had to call back to change room as my mum can't manage stairs well and original room was top floor. When we arrived we were still allocated top floor room (which was massive, had four poster and was stunning!) but staff were more than happy to prepare other room as luckily it wasn't booked out or occupied. Price I was expecting was increased as was told I hadn't mentioned the 2 year old and the dogs despite knowing I had done so. Agreed to only increase price by 10 rather than 20. I did not send or receive a booking confirmation which

It snowballs from the first step. The receptionist took care of what i needed and was more than helpful. Bathrooms need upgrades but other than that it's gorgeous. Breakfast is also good. Nice and quiet too! Would definitely go back.

I went for a friends 60th. A beautiful building for sure but the food quality was extremely poor at best. Also drinks were enormously expensive ( 3.00 for a J20 ) and around 7 for a pint of tennants. All in all not the best catering experience but a pleasant location non the less.
