Best Western Crown Hotel

Would recommend a visit to the Crown if you are visiting Yorkshire. Centrally placed for Harrogate, Ripon, York, Thirsk and the Yorkshire Dales. Friendly staff, good ale, excellent breakfast and a lovely pool and spa bath. The hotel has lots of character and a real change from the modern corporate chain hotels. less

Stopping off by chance on the way home from France to Scotland, we looked in to see if there were any vacancies and received a very pleasant welcome. An old building with lots of history which has been sympathetically maintained. Went for a walk round the town centre, quite a quaint place with some nice shops. Had a drink outside the hotel in comfortable seating (the sun was shining so what else to do?) then a good meal in the restaurant. Room was comfortable and breakfast was good. Would certainly use it again and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a stopover or wanting to spend a few days in the area. The service was great and we felt that we got excellent value. less

Stayed the night whilst my son was racing in the area. Room 56 over looked the car park. Traditional old hotel with lots of history. Immaculate and clean. Nice twin room and was happy to find an electric fan in the wardrobe on the hottest day of the year. Service and staff were lovely. Breakfast was first class, I had the full English. Faultless. One issue - it was £6.50 for a glass of white wine - I thought this was a tad expensive! Overall a beautiful old hotel, lovely evening meal in hotel (sea food pasta and fish and chip soup of the day ) . Swimming pool and sauna added to the experience. Excellent over night stay. Happy to recommend the hotel/facilities and food. Foot note to manager - please compliment your staff they were a credit to the hotel. less

Very pleasant place to stay with comfortable bed and reasonable sized rooms. Restaurant had excellent food but menu doesn't change much. Kettle in the room was faulty. Servicing of the room was rather late in the day which wouldn't normally be a problem but because of bad weather we were in and out all day. less

A friend and I stopped here for a night while we cycled the Way of the Roses over two days. The staff were very pleasant and were so helpful. Our bikes were happily accommodated and securely locked up overnight. The room was good and the shower was hot, just what was needed after the grim weather we had that day. Food from the Bar and breakfast was great. I really appreciated the pool and jacuzzi in the leisure suite to loosen up the legs after a day in the saddle. Cheers ! less
