Malmaison York

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay with a very tasty good quality breakfast! Great hotel and staff with an excellent location"

Cedar Court Harrogate

10/10 Excellent

"We are 2 large dogs and brought our well behaved owners with us. We were made to feel very welcome. 2 dog beds and 2 bowls in the room as well as a human sized bed (which we felt was too comfortable for us). Our owners were very happy though. There were water bowls and treats for us in the bar. This was a joy as our owners wanted to watch some strange men (the 11 in white shirts seemed to be the favourites) running around with a ball. We would have been much better but I'm not sure the ball would have lasted more than about 5 minutes. Breakfast set up in the bar for our owners as we were not allowed to accompany them into the restaurant. In fairness there would have been too much temptation, all those sausages on offer! The Stray directly opposite the hotel where we could take our owners for lots of lovely walks. All round a great experience. Thank you Woof, woof"

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay...beautiful hotel, immaculately maintained...a level above anything else we stayed out during our vacation. Centrally located within easy walking distance of almost anything you'd want to see. Parking was a bit dodgy since the hotel seems to be booked for all sorts of event. The breakfast was ideal. I really want to go back for more."
