Hotels near The Old Farmyard, Ripley in Harrogate

On arrival the receptionist gave a a complimentary upgrade to a suite, very nice indeed. The breakfast service was excellent fresh cooked and plenty of choice. We will stay again

We had been looking forward to staying in an up-market four-star hotel in up-market Harrogate; we were sorely disappointed. Things started to go wrong before we checked-in; we enquired about secure parking; we were told that the secure parking was directly in front of the hotel, not our idea of secure. We were, somewhat curtly, informed that it was full and that we would have to park on the street. No mention was made of use of the off-street parking availability at the sister hotel a few hundred meters down the hill, which we later understood could be used at the residents’ rate (£15 per night). We checked in to our “Deluxe Double Room”, our idea of “deluxe” is at complete variance to what we found; there was absolutely nothing deluxe about the room. The heating was off and the room cold. It was sp****ly furnished with, furniture that at best was Ikea, but more likely MFI. The windows were ill-fitting and had large gaps at the sides and bottom, allowing cold air in. The bathroom was sp****ly equipped with taps that are more style than functionality, it was impossible to turn the shower tap off with wet hands. The toilet seat was loose. The towel rail barely took the chill off the room. The room was not serviced on day two, for no apparent reason. We were later informed that the room was deluxe as it has a view to the front. The breakfast facilities are grossly inadequate, such that guests are required to request an allocated time. The self-service area is cramped and congested. There was only one toasting machine that required the bread to be put in twice to achieve acceptable results, increasing the congestion. We were allocated a slot towards the end of the breakfast period, some of the cooked food was not available and we were told that because it was the end of breakfast, no more would be cooked. Very far divorced from four-star service. To my mind, an English breakfast requires marmalade, the little pots of orange coloured jelly are what I might expect in a cheap boarding-house, not a four-star hotel. This hotel is one to avoid, it lets Harrogate and Yorkshire down in a big way. p.s I sent a copy of this to the duty managers for their comment before I posted it; they did not bother to reply.

I am writing this at 6am while in bed at this travelodge, and have had a dreadful night's sleep — I really cannot wait to go home. We have a room on the 2nd floor, normal travelodge standard, basic but clean. There is no air con, and an electric heater on the wall. We stayed on a Friday night. Our room is directly overlooking the pub opposite, and we had a lot of noise from people outside it last night smoking and carrying on, talking in drunk raised voices, and then lots of (I presume taxi) car doors slamming etc. There has also been a regular thudding noise from inside the hotel all night, and I have been woken up early by the pub opposite getting a delivery at 6am, and unloading barrels etc. The multistory car park next door is £9.20 for 24 hours, but be warned the ramps are tight to navigate, and there at no lifts, so we had to carry our suitcases from the 8th floor. The location of the hotel is convenient to walk in to the city centre, but I would choose somewhere else and get some sleep instead.

From check in to check out, what a friendly, olde world place this is, Arrived early into a very small courtyard car park which we did find a space, though there is ample parking next door as the owners have bought next door to re develop, shown straight to our room by a lovely, friendly lady Our room was on the road, to the left of the archway, we had our own front door which took us in to a lovely little hallway and a delightful room, probably one of the cleanest we've stayed in and I've stayed in lots of high end hotels, The noise from the road at night could have been a problem but we were provided with ear plugs which we didn't use, The breakfast choice was amazing for a B & B, all freshly cooked to order and Karen our waitress was lovely, felt we'd known her all our lives, a lovely lady, a credit to the business, Right opposite the bus station so if you wanted to go to York or Harrogate, buses on the doorstep, Plenty of eating places and pubs, quiz night and market day on Wednesday with its own town crier, what a treat Knaresborough....what a beautiful place, plenty of walks along the river nydd, beautiful buildings and of course the viaduct, Castle and gardens, was probably the hottest day of the year so we couldn't manage a further walk to mother shiptons caves but that will be for another day

Beautiful, comfortable and beautiful. Across the road is a huge lawn! The room was a bit small but reasonably clean. The surrounding environment is great. The English breakfast was also delicious, I ate it for 5 days in a row. The dinner is also good, the waiters are nice, Service is nice. Many elderly people come here. The water quality is a few blocks behind London.

It's just that the facilities are too old. It would be better if the facilities can be improved. The room is relatively large. For me, the location is more convenient. There is no air-conditioning and there is a garden. I feel that it should be refurbished to be worthy of the price.
