The Crown Hotel, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire

We were looking for a hotel with a pool - for a relaxing 2 day break. Came across this hotel which seemed to have everything we wanted. It has easy and secure parking. The room, whilst not big had everything we needed - bath and shower, comfortable bed and pillows, coffee pod machine, tea and biscuits. The staff were, without exception, excellent - friendly, polite, professional and efficient. They could not have done more to make our stay comfortable. The pool was lovely - easily big enough. There was a jacuzzi, a steam room and a sauna. This is not a spa with treatments but it is a lovely place to have a swim and relax. The changing room could be upgraded and only had one cubical - but it was acceptable. The food was good. There was a very good choice and it was fairly priced. Wine was a bit pricey - house wine £30 but they were all good wines - so you didn't mind paying. There was a coffee area serving coffee and cakes throughout the day and a well stocked bar. It was a very relaxing place to stay- very good value (they were doing some good one and two night deals) and very enjoyable. Boroughbridge is a good location - close to Harrogate, Knaresborough, York and easy access to the two Yorkshire National Parks I would recommend and we are looking forward to returning'

A superb stay! From the excellent coffee in the coffee lounge on arrival to the lovely spa, the private function room for our celebration meal and the rooms that were spacious and beautifully decorated it was a true gem of a stay. All staff were helpful and friendly and worked hard to give us a great stay. Breakfast was cooked to order and the best we’ve had in a while. Truly warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

All ten members of our family have just spent the weekend celebrating my husbands 70th birthday at this lovely hotel. From booking to leaving yesterday the entire experience has been wonderful. Happy,helpfull and friendly staff, superb food, thank you chef, and very comfortable rooms. Thank you to everyone for helping to make it such a special weekend!

The hotel was booked due to its location but what an absolute gem of a place. The interior is homely and full of interest. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated. The spa facilities and gym were a welcome addition after a busy day. It even hosts its own coffee shop! I'm sure a popular place for both locals and guests. The bar is well stocked and had a great variety of non alcoholic options which was perfect for me and by far the best I have come across. If you thought this all sounds like a great hotel there's more! ... The food is outstanding 👌 The breakfast menu is delicious and the eggs perfectly poached! But for me the dish of the week was the venison. So good I had it for 3 nights! Each night it was cooked perfectly and great value for money. Well done chefs, I haven't eaten this well in any other hotel. The star of the hotel is the general manager Emma. Warm and welcoming, she is a perfect host. Nothing too much trouble and I can't wait to come back to my new home from home.

Called in for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised by the new beautiful interiors. They had a great menu and everything was reasonably priced. We ordered light lunches, the bacon sandwiches were lovely and well filled but think being served on a roll instead of bread may be better? Eggs Benedict was perfect. Service was okay but some room for improvement?

A most enjoyable short stay despite request having been miscommunicated. I have a minor mobility problem and had requested a ground floor room which was not available on check in. We were allocated a room up the shortest flight of stairs, and, fortunately, it was not a very busy route so I wasn't embarrassed by moving so slowly. We dined in on the first night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The pool and spa were greatly appreciated as the weather was pretty unpleasant . The building is obviously old and in need of a bit of TLC but needs to retain it's character.
