Hotels near Pontefract Market, Pontefract

I wish I could review the hotel and restaurant separately because I'd give 4/5 for the hotel and 0/5 for the restaurant. The one positive shared by both was very friendly and helpful staff. They can't be faulted. The hotel room was good and much like as in the photos. The quality of the room wasn't quite as expected, e.g. cheaply decorated and the window surrounds were pretty dirty, but it was fine and made a reasonable alternative to a Premier Inn. Unfortunately the food in the restaurant was dire. Alarm bells rang when I saw the menu - that many dishes and meat at that price doesn't bode well. I played safe and had a veggie lassagne but it had a nasty, ”dark” background taste. The accompanying salad was fine but needed a dressing or just some oil because it was bone dry. 2/5 for dinner. The breakfast selection was limited and a cooked breakfast is clearly the thing here. After cereals I had scrambled eggs on toast. After a very long wait (which was odd because the only other customer received their breakfast long before us), I was given the worst scrambled eggs I've ever seen. The white & yolk weren't properly mixed so there were yellow and white swirls, and the eggs were horrendously overcooked. They were solid. To compund things, the toast under the scrambled eggs wasn't buttered. I'm not a fussy eater but a slab of hard eggs on dry toast is impossible to enjoy. How can anyone get scrambled eggs on toast so wrong? 0/5 for breakfast. Sadly, it will be the PremierInn for me next time because the restaurant was dire and the hotel would have to be amazing to compensate for having to drive somewhere else to eat.

I booked to stay here last minute rather than getting a late train back home after meeting friends for dinner. It ended up being on the day that the Queen passed away so it's a hotel that I'll remember for a long time! - great value for money - think I paid £83 for the night including breakfast - hotel (including the room I stayed in) was very clean - room had everything I needed for a comfortable stay - amazing location (close to the train station and the city centre) Teeny tiny negative: - breakfast room service option was limited to bacon / sausage sandwiches (however I left a note on the order card cheekily asking for a chocolate croissant - which wasn't an option - and they very kindly sent one up with my veggie sausage sandwich!) As a Mum to a 10 month old, I'm usually up at 6.30am - so a chocolate croissant in bed at 9am was an absolute treat! It's the little things as they say - and definitely warrants a 5/5 review!

The hotel is located on a motorway services which is handy as it has a food court next door with lots of different food options. It is just under 4 miles from the centre of Leeds; about 10-15 minutes by car. The look of the hotel is modern with a nice feel to it. They have a restaurant on site (which we didn't eat in) and an essentials/snack stand which is good for any forgotten bits or late night snacks. The hotel isn't very big with just 1 floor of rooms and this is accessible by lift or stairs. The room we had was a standard room and, for 1 night, it was perfect for us! There was everything you could need including a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, a safe and extra pillows. The bathroom also had hand-wash and body wash. Nice view over the rear garden/children's play area with fantastic blackout curtains! Decent TV with free view channels. Tea and coffee making facilities and loads of plug sockets including some next to the beds ...win win!! A little more attention to detail regarding cleaning as there was a fair amount of dust on the top of the mirror and some marks next to the sink in the bathroom. A great little addition would be restaurant/bar food and drink options and times in the room to look over when you arrive!

By surprise, I wasn't allocated to the guest house but an apartment in Snaith. As a result, there's no hot breakfast done in the morning. However, tea, coffee, juice, bread, eggs, yogurt and milk are provided in the apartment. As a result, we can still have a hot breakfast by cooking it ourselves. The apartment is very clean and Zoe whom I think is the owner of it is very pleasant and helpful. The only downside is that the boiler can sometimes get low water pressure and we need to turn some knots to boost it. Also, the bathroom door is difficult to open to get out, won't be able to be opened by children. Snaith is a nice place with Co-op, post office and quite a few eating places to choose from. Very handy for a trip.

My two sisters and I ( all of very mature years) spent an overnight spa break at this lovely hotel.Our room was excellent - lots of space with a roomy en suite . The beds were very comfortable. The views from the windows were amazing - over the lovely lakeside and park estate. The facilities are very good - swimming pool with sauna and steam-room plus jacuzzi. The spa treatments were good. Our evening meal was great ( particularly the fish pie) as was the full breakfast next morning. The final word is about the staff . Brilliant. Nothing too much trouble. Manager Chris ensured we were able to check in early and special thanks go to him . Other reception staff and those in Charlie’s bar were also excellent .
