Superb location for visit to Harrogate

My friends and I had a reunion in Harrogate this weekend and 4 of us stayed at the Cairn Hotel for two nights from 14 March. Three of us shared a family room and were really impressed by the size of the room; free wifi was also a bonus! It is a beautiful rather grand looking property with lots of open space to sit and chat, enjoy drinks, bar snacks and generally unwind. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. We all slept well and we all enjoyed the fantastic breakfasts! The staff were all very friendly, helpful and very proactive. The hotel offers plenty of parking which was really useful. It is also only a short walk from the centre of town and we enjoyed being able to walk to all the attractions, shops and restaurants that we wanted to visit. Having seen some of the bar snack food one evening we did wish we'd tried the food in the hotel beyond breakfast! We had a fabulous time and would love to return! Thank you to all at the Cairn Hotel for making our stay such a pleasant and enjoyable one.

Lovely characterful building but in need of refurbishment. My friends and I shared a 3 bedded room. None of us slept very well due to the hot temperature in the room. Also the bedroom curtains were at least 4 inches short allowing lots of outdoor lights to come into the room. The beds were comfortable and bathroom adequate. Breakfast very average. In a convenient position for the town.

I disliked everything about this property. From the very first greeting to walking out three days later. The hotel is beyond tired. Everything is heavily worn and needed replacing at least ten years ago. The service is grumpy at best and the whole hotel had an underlying smell of faeces and antibac. I always look for the positives in things but I am drawing a complete blank here.
