The room was very spacious and comfortable, with ours overlooking the cobbled main street down the hill. Our breakfast was excellent, as was all the food. With essentially a gourmet restaurant and a gastropub at the bottom of the stairs, there really was no reason to go elsewhere in the evenings. Seriously, try the 3ft of Cumberland Sausage prepare to head to sausage heaven. Within Haworth, it is perfectly situated. You're a minute's walk away from the Bronte Museum, at the top end of Main Street with its tea rooms and shops and about five minutes walk from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. If you want to hike on the moors, out to Top Withens and the like, this is a perfect spot. With the free car parking, either on-site or in the nearby Changegate car park (don't forget your permit!), you're also straight onto the main roads out of Haworth. If you're looking for somewhere to stay, this place is fantastic.

They offer free parking which is a huge bonus for this tiny village! The restaurant and food is absolutely delicious! The best food we had in the entire village was here. Breakfast is included and it's again delicious! The view from my window of the countryside was absolutely devine. Though the rooms are small they are very clean, the bathrooms are very clean. My only comments were the kettle in my room was dirty inside so I didn't use it. The toilet paper has no holder so I wasn't sure if I wanted to hold the toilet paper which the previous person was holding. The old fashioned keys require you to lock each time you leave and enter the room. Also there isn't a dedicated space to hold your luggage should you want to visit the town after you check out but luckily we had a car to put our luggage in. Everything else was perfect!

It's not a big place by any means, but what it loses in size it gains in charm, warmness, and cosiness. The room was lovely and well planned out. with freeview tv, microwave / oven combi, and fridge.

A large Morrisons supermarket was a few minutes walk away, which saved us having to live on takeaways etc. The chances of returning to Nelson personally are slim, but I may even make an excuse just to return to Lovett House. Truly a home from home

Such a beautifully decorated, cozy, boutique hotel right in the center of Harrogate. The bed was super comfortable and the was bathroom huge & luxurious (especially after arriving from Prague and the world's smallest bathroom). The bar brags of some of Yorkshire's best beers on tap - some great hand pulled bitters and ales - as well as Harrogate's own Slingsby's Gin (ask the bartender for a taste or even a custom cocktail made with Slingby's, you won't be disappointed!). Great accommodation, will gladly stay here again when back in North Yorkshire. There's nowt so queer as folk!

Ascot House is an impressive looking hotel, set on a corner plot adjacent to a green area, adorned with early flowering spring bulbs and trees coming into bud because of the mild winter. The car park for the hotel was a little small for the number of rooms it had, but the access road to the side handled the overspill. The car spaces are also a little svelte, something to be aware if your car is on the large side. Inside the hotel has high ceilings and an impressive air of spaciousness throughout. The staircase to the rooms is punctuated by an impressive stained glass window, that the light streams through in the early morning. Rooms wise, there are lots and it can be a fraction disorientating at first to find you actual room. The room itself was well proportioned, warm and spacious, with a large bathroom, complete with a bath, more unusual these days. A decent sized TV, that kept us entertained with random winter sports, like snowboard half pipe, in the dead time between going out for the day, and eating out in the evening. The mattress was a little soft, but that's a minor quibble. Breakfast was efficiently run, a good variety of cereals, fruit, juices and a good range of hot food, which always speedily arrived, the scrambled egg and 'Full Yorkshire' being particularly fine. The dining room doubles as a restaurant for residents and non-residents in the evening too. A few points stopped it getting that all important fifth star, the Hotel was well maintained and was undergoing somewhat of makeover whilst we were there. They had a team decorators painting the foyer while we were there, setting up just after breakfast and still working when we returned mid-afternoon. The decorators were always impeccably polite but clambering over dust sheets and dodging wet paint to enter the hotel, was a novelty initially but became a little bit of a trial.

I booked this place because it was one of the few places with availability on a busy night, but I would reccommend it as a first choice especially as it was very reasonably priced and therefore excellent value for money.

It's a place whose reputation draws most of the customers. The word of mouth about this inn is intense and completely positive. So to the food. From my experiences there isn't a bad thing on the menu. It's a lot of the typical British inn foods, but all very well made and flavourful! The seafood bake is popular and rightly so. Their Giant Yorkshire Puddings are also extremely flavourful and scrummy. They have two tenured real ales on draft, plus a third "visiting" cask ale that changes every so often. They also have all the other usual beers like Guinness, Tetleys, etc. The service is very friendly and food comes at exactly the speed you would want. Classic pub atmosphere with wonderful decorating. Not kitschy or outdated. Comfortably classic pub. Lastly, the inn's accommodation is very good as well. Seven well appointed en-suite rooms. I had the Queens Flat, which includes a small -though completely equipped- kitchen. Four-burner hob with oven, microwave, and even a washing machine. With all this, "flat" is the perfect name for this suite. A more spacious bedroom than I was expecting for such an old building. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows! A rare thing amongst village inns like this, the proprietors seem to be with the current age and have free WiFi that covers the entire property. I'd recommend the Queens Head to anyone and everyone. A true public house to which all others should be measured.
