Wonderful ambience, lovely friendly staff who were very attentive.Room lovely and clean.This was a short weekend away to recharge our batteries and this was certainly achieved.We will certainly book again, but a word of warning. There was an £89 booking fee as we had booked via Booking.com!!!!! I hadn't realised, and what an amount!!I will definitely book directly with the Inn itself another time, l won't be paying the extortionate amount again.The knaresborough Inn was perfect in all ways, thankyou to everyone.

I really enjoyed my stay here as did both of my friends. When you walk you are instantly hit with a warm ambience that was perfect for the autumn weather (who am I kidding it was perfect for the UK weather overall). They have decorated this place amazingly and the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff were 11/10 soooo friendly! I have never been to a place that genuinely felt like home. I’m so sorry I didn’t get any of your names but you were all truly amazing and so accommodating, especially for my friend’s vegetarian breakfast. The food was delicious and the portions were massive! The room that we stayed in though, it was the cherry on top of the most wonderful cake. It was bright, well decorated, so clean and the spare bed was all set up for us. I will 100% be coming back and I truly recommend to anyone and everyone. They are also dog friendly and have dog friendly rooms and treats on arrival for your furry friends! If I could give this place 6/5 I absolutely would! Plus who doesn’t love a two for fourteen pound cocktail deal (Monday - Thursday)!

Went today, food was great, only drawback was sitting on a back to back bench seat with an over active junior behind us. I had the Eton mess which sounded nice with strawberries, but I only found 4 1/8 segments,, equating to 1/2 strawberry!

We only went in for food and drinks. It's a really nice bar/restaurant with a great menu.
My only small gripe was the choice of beer.... All real ales were Cornish, no Yorkshire beers on despite all the amazing breweries within 20 miles.

Great modern hotel with nice staff and good breakfast, location only 10 minutes from both town centre and train station, 10 minutes to Mother Shiptons Cave all downhill.

We are local so just visited for a meal and a drink. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal (although the buffalo wings were too spicy - and I like hot food). Good service and wide choice of drinks.

We are local and use it o dine a lot but it is going down hill at a rapid rate.
Partner ordered a vegetable pizza with most of named vegetables missing and bowl of dried up Chips cost £4.00.
Approximately 40p per chip supposedly fresh!

Nice hotel , room OK but really hot to sleep in fan provided . Biggest let down was the food had a Sunday lunch which was basically like a frozen diner from tesco ,then to cap it off breakfast was worse basically raw bacon , under cooked sausage ,cold fried egg finished off with a nice scoop of barely warm beans .

Can't comment on the rooms as we had to cancel at the last moment. The staff at the hotel and at the booking line were fantastic about it and really pleasant and helpful. The hotel looked beautiful and Knaresborough is really nice. We were disappointed we couldn't stay due to circumstances, but have vowed to return
