Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers nice rooms with modern conveniences, but some may feel they are basic for the price paid. The service is relatively efficient but lacks a warm touch at times. The location is excellent for exploring the beautiful Dales. The dining experience could be improved, although snacks are tasty. Overall, a decent stay with some areas for enhancement.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and presented to a high standard with lovely touches like a capsule coffee maker and mini-snack bar. The service was excellent, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for hiking and exploring the dales, offering a luxurious retreat away from the hustle and bustle. The dining experience in the Burlington Restaurant, although lovely, took a bit too long. Overall, a great value for a luxurious experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient for exploring Bolton Abbey and the surrounding areas, but some aspects like the rooms and dining left much to be desired. The friendly service added a nice touch to the stay despite a few shortcomings.
