Had a gorgeous Christmas meal with a group of friends here. The setting is beautiful with fabulous decor in period style. I had a pear salad starter followed by the most delicious sea bass cooked to perfection in a lovely sauce. The staff were attentive and very welcoming. Overall one of the best places I’ve eaten.
It was okay. Not exactly in alignment with what I'd hoped for the setting of a romantic Brontë getaway, but it just about worked. Not a fan of the set up: that no one was around when we came, and that we had to talk to someone through the com to know how to get in. Anxiety. They suggested there was a black business card to put on the dashboard of our car, to park at the neighbouring hotel. There were no business cards. More anxiety. Also, the hotel website suggested we'd have to pay them to park at a neighbouring hotel's parking lot, while the neighbouring hotel who owns it doesn't charge anyone for parking! That's cheeky. It was a pretty nice-looking entrance, and a nice looking bar and dining area, though the stairs could do with re-carpeting. I don't recall, in those three days, witnessing a bar-tender. Seemed superfluous. Our room was fine. It was Gothic enough to satisfy, but it was shabby rather than luxurious. Our mattress was very good, though the bed itself was really quite small. At one point, it seemed the hot water ran out, and while we didn't need it at that moment, I thought that if someone had needed it to wash, there'd be no one to help as no one was around. Personally I didn't feel I would want to call the phone numbers on the wall lest I get a grumpy or tired person who has to explain how to fix something. It's bad service. I did feel the room was a little grubby, and I didn't necessarily feel comfortable using the blankets, pillows, or cupboard. The toilet basket was very dusty, and I didn't feel comfortable putting our toilet paper in that. That's a very easy fix for those at the Registry. The towels were too thin. The plughole was stiff and would pop out, meaning some hot water was wasted when trying to fill the bath. We did both like the bath separately. We could hear some noise from the neighbours both above and across, but we didn't experience any real issues. Watch out for the rather large spiders too. Lol. We had two of the same variety - one had unknowingly been tread on and the other we flung out the window. Bit creepy - and I'm good with spiders! They did not serve porridge, which seems like a no-brainer and was a bit shocking and a let down. Aside, we were both, as vegans, made to feel a bit uncomfortable - like it was annoying... or like we couldn't trust them to accommodate us. We specifically asked for the vegan alternative Full-English breakfast and the waiter came out with two large fried eggs on the plate, which felt like a farce. We were left to wonder if it was deliberate. They sorted it out, but it awkwardly confirmed our initial worries. The breakfast was otherwise fine I suppose. They had green tea! Do feel the Northerners at the other tables got better treatment which felt odd. It was an okay experience all in all. Good location. Could be better if they invested in it a bit more.
We had a two night stay in the Cherubs room. Was so lovely, the bed was comfy and the decor is eclectic and quirky. Just our cup of tea :-) fabulous location on Main Street and within walking distance of all of Haworth's famous areas. Great value for money too. A great base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Would visit again
Where to begin. First of all i do not know who these people are who got 5 star service. Real people ??? Just lucky ??? But I digress. There was zero service at this facility. Zero. We arrived and rang the bell. A voice appeared and instructed us as to how to get into the building where our room key was laid out in the entryway. Up to the room we go. Again i do not know whoooo these reviewers are that had such large, wonderful rooms… our room was cramped and very worn in every aspect. The draperies were smack dab against the hot wall heater. There was barely enough room to walk around the bed. The bathroom, while spacious , was in poor condition. Not sure why, with such a large bathroom, the shower was so tiny and only had a free standing sink. The wood surround around the tub was peeling off. A set of towels was left on the bed and I have never seen thinner or smaller towels . Good thing we didn’t need more towels as since there were no employees to be found I don’t know how we would obtain them . The info in the room stated that if anything was needed all we had to do was call the numbers listed. No answer to the call. Again there was no one on the site. We saw one person briefly upon check out but she disappeared while we were loading our car and we just left our key on the chair she was last seen sitting in. Breakfast and wine and “nibbles” offered in the description?? No breakfast, no nibbles, no people on duty. Also a closet door in the “lobby” was perpetually left open to showcase clutter and God knows what .. hoarder stuff.. so lovely to look at . The one positive was the mattress was comfortable . So many missed opportunities to make it better. The owner's have an awesome location in a quaint town. They could make this an adorable with a little effort
We stayed here 20 years ago, so it was a bit of a nostalgic trip. Different owners now, but very pleasant people. The breakfast was first class, the room was very olde worldy, with a big 4 poster bed , very nice. We stayed in the Tudor room, and although it overlooked a busy road, it wasn't noisy at all. Unfortunately, we booked the wrong dates, none of the attractions , Bronte parsonage museum, steam railway etc. were open until later in the week, so if your thinking of going best check opening times, and maybe book a slot on line before you go.
Myself and my partner had an impromptu stay on a Saturday night and went for the memories room which was to die for, spacious and luxurious to the point we spent most of the 24 hours in the room. The location is perfect for sight seeing and close to pubs and shops, we enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next month and we cannot wait to go again, I'd throughly recommend a stay.
Very warm & welcoming. Lovely finished rooms. Service was exceptional, nothing too much trouble. First class breakfast, highly recommend staying here.
The owner gave me the warmest welcome after I had a bit of a trying day getting to Haworth, and was super assistive in helping me to get a situation resolved. Comfortable bed, room was very clean and warm (Oct stay). Bath was a bit wonky but upgraded with a whirlpool tub. Food was fantastic whether breakfast or dinner. Chris cooked the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had, and dinner was always spot on. Great location to see all the bits in Haworth and lots of good hikes around. Lots of pubs and shops within a short walk.
Have stayed here several times now and always find myself having a thoroughly pleasant time. The hotel is at the bottom end of the main Street of the picturesque Haworth with pleasant views of the high-street or the valley behind, depending on which room you're in. The hotel is rustic and charming with an understated grandeur. The rooms vary in size and I have stayed in a few of them now. All are well kept and have their own quirks and individuality (making repeat visits always fun). Food here is very good. Breakfast is always an absolute-must but dinner surprised me as to the quality of food. Would heartily recommend.
