We sat in the dining room area and it was very tired and worn, sit in the Pub area instead. Outside seating is very smoky. No A/C or even ceiling fans especially since we were in the new set of rooms. No one opened up the windows prior to our arrival and it was literally like an oven. As secluded as it is there is another hotel/restaurant nearby which we enjoyed better.

My wife and I went to Brimmam Rocks Cottages the week before the tour de France for a week. Never…read morebeen before, but the reviews on other sites suggested a wonderful place for peace and quiet. Varying ranges of occupation from 2 to 6 people in a square of old stone converted barns, ours was for two, small compact, spotlessly clean, wine and chocolates on arrival and a giant 4 poster in its one upstairs bedroom. Outside there are little private gardens each with a hot tub, across in a large building there is a swimming pool with changing facilities, games room and library of books and films. Being seasoned holiday let people, we took various things such as torch, our own knives and various home comforts that are usually not there, but Brimmam Rocks Cottages had the lot. There is a BBQ area, dog walking area, children's playground (away from the cottages.) but if you want anything else it's a walk or car journey, however, it is fairly close to the Half Moon pub which serves excellent food and not far from several stunning little villages. There is a lot to pack in to your days with a nice warm hot tub to come back to. Really relaxed when we left and one of our most chilled holidays.

Just spent 8 lovely days at Alexa House and all I can say is that Dave and Sandra, who own this B&B…read morein Harrogate, are not only super professionals, but they also go out of their way to make their guests feel like family! I started communicating with Dave via email several months before our actual arrival, and he was very good at communicating and planning stuff for us ahead of time. As we were travelling with a baby, he actually went out of his way to arrange for a baby car seat to be installed in the local taxi which was waiting for us at Leeds-Bradford Airport (which he also arranged). The morning breakfast is a full English breakfast with all the good stuff (eggs, bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausages, etc.) PLUS Haddock, PLUS the biggest kippers that I've ever seen. There is also plenty of those great English cereals that make American cereals look wimpy in comparison as well as fruits, plenty of coffee, tea and juices and super fast friendly service. There's also a self service honesty bar, where hard drinks, beers, etc. are available all day (you make your own drink and write it down on a bar log) for quite a bit less of what it costs in town. The B&B is within walking distance of the huge conference centre in Harrogate and downtown Harrogate and also right on the main bus line if you want to take a trip to Leeds (or to the gorgeous little village of Ripley, as we did). And there's also free Wi-Fi! A luxury in a place where the fancy hotels can charge up to 15 pounds a day for Internet access. If you are driving, a free, private lot on the rear entrance offers plenty of free parking. In addition to the rooms in the house itself, there are several stable cottages in the rear, offering quite private accommodations (and super quiet). In a beautiful town full of B&B's and huge hotels, Alexa House is a jewel of a find, not only because of the physical location itself, but because of the warmth and quality of service of the owners. If I could give them a 100 stars, I would!

It was really pleasant with a view of street out the window, a fireplace and lots of quirky eclectic pictures on the wall. The food was incredible. We both had a burger, can't remember which, but super meaty, super tasty. Big flavour, big belly. I felt like a fat badger after that. Service wasn't the quickest, but it was cheerful and helpful. Quality of the food was worth the wait.

A quiet but tired pub/hotel in Grassington village. Coming from London, we got a few "you're not…read morefrom round here" stares at first, but we were soon welcomed by their watchful dog and were seated in their outside space. I ordered the roast chicken as a main course. What was there was lovely. Very nicely presented and tasted great. But the portion size was just tiny. A breast and a half of chicken, a few carrots and potatoes, and not much else. For the price (which came to almost £20 with a pint), I was expecting something a little heartier. I feel a bit mean giving this 2 stars, but I wouldn't I would come back (even given the limited options in Grassington), so I don't think a 3 would do it justice.

We stayed at the Ascot House Hotel in mid-February, and it proved a good location from which to…read moreexplore the delights of Harrogate, just under a mile to walk into the periphery of the town centre. 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.

Breakfast was very good, served promptly, in a dining room with some views of the front garden, that also serves dinners although I did not have dinner here. 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.

The area is particularly good for walking and cycling. The Old Town Hall website has details of things to see and do in and around the area. This guest house offers fantastic value for money and is well worth a visit!
