The building is older and next to a plant, so, it's not the shiniest coin; however, it's in good repair. The parking area is a little small. The bar main area is large, clean, in good repair, and well lit. The chairs and stools are comfortable. Three large screen TVs play sport or MTV Classic almost constantly. There at least two overflow rooms and an outside beer garden. The overflow rooms are clean. There are games in the main and north rooms. The bar itself is clean and adorned with sport memorabilia. They have a good selection of draft and bottled beers, and spirits. They have a small selection of bar snacks. There's no hot food, but they are exceptionally willing to help you choose a takeaway and order for you. Taxi service was fast. The clientele are phenomenal. They welcome strangers and embrace them as friends. Go on Castleford Rugby night and have the time of your life!

Very close to Xscape, so it's convenient for dinner when I'm on business trips, I've never tried the hotel restaurant because of this. Check in/out is usually quick and hassle free. The staff are also helpful and friendly. Breakfast is quite good with full English and continental available. I noticed that they have pancakes on my most recent trip but couldn't find any syrup to put on them. They also have bagels and crumpets. The hotel is right next to a railway station (Glasshoughton) so it's quite easy to get to Leeds. My only negative point is that the sliding bathroom door in some rooms is very difficult to use.

De Vere Oulton Hall Hotel is situated 20 minutes from Leeds in the picturesque region of Oulton,…read moreRothwell. It is the North's only 5* hotel, and yet it is not overpriced, with rates being less for B&B than some 3 and 4* city centre hotels. Parking is free of charge and the hotel is absolutely stunning. Set in acres of well kept golf courses, with a welcoming, winding main entrance, the hotel looks absolutely amazing. The inside is just as impressive with a marble entrance, doorman, piano room, champagne bar and luxurious dining room. The hotel has a large spa and gym with a full size swimming pool. Victoria Beckham had her hen night there, Elton John has stayed there, so as you can see it is popular with the posh set. The staff are extremely nice and the rooms are stunning. To the rear there are gardens with a decked seating area, large fountain and you often see partridge and squirrel running amongst the trees. I love it so much I am having my wedding reception and evening entertainments here - and I cannot wait. If you want a touch of true luxury then De Vere Oulton Hall is the only place in Yorkshire (or indeed the North) to go. It is perfect for a decadent weekend away or a very special occasion - and at Christmas and New Year it's themed (high class theming, not fancy dress!) events are always sold out. Don't be put off by the slightly higher price of the drinks (£4 - £5) as in the setting, they are well worth it. Everything is served in fine china, crystal glasses, and with the maximum of fuss (nice fuss). It is truly perfect and I cannot recommend it highly enough. 5 out of 5 for a wonderful 5* establishment.

Fantastic interiors in the main building, huge rooms, vast ceilings, sweeping staircases. . By all accounts, the building has not always been so grand; it was actually listed as derelict in 1974. In 1991 De Vere Hotels acquired the lease, rescued the Hall and apparently spent £20 million in the process on restoration and expansion, transforming it into the current 5* hotel set in its 300 acres of parkland, gardens, a 27-hole golf course and spa Downton Abbey eat your heart out! .

There is an outside area, with table and chairs and tons of parking for both pub and motel users. Many of the rooms are being refurbished during 2008, improving the quality and comfort for guests. The pub also offers rental for private functions, and has reduced motel rates for guests, preventing drinking and driving. There are 2 main bar areas, with a similar ambience, as well as facilities such as pool tables, slot machines and dining areas. This is a friendly comfortable place to visit, and the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful on each of my trips. The regulars are similar, and it's easy to get into conversation with others. My tip if staying overnight is to negotiate on room prices, as well as get a rennovated rooms. The benefit of it being a motel, rather than a hotel is that it's possible to park your car close to, if not outside your room. There's good security in the car park and vicinity and my family have always felt safe there.
