Herriots Hotel

Convenient and pleasant location, just across from the railway station and next to the canal. Easy walking distance to the main town centre. Room very comfortable and clean. Staff friendly, especially the cheerful waitress on breakfast duty. Food excellent and very generous portions. Limited vegetarian main meals but I feel if I had asked the chef may have offered extra options.
One note, breakfast does not start until 8.30 at weekends and the room service breakfast I ordered did not arrive - however once they realised I was invited to go into the breakfast room early and the owner herself came and apologised. I really enjoyed my stay.

This was a good hotel, very helpfull and the evening meal was very good. The room was comfortable and I would visit again.

A handy place for people travelling by road, rail, or canal, and a good starting point for exploring the Dales. Somewhat eccentric mixture of Victorian commercial hotel updated upstairs, and popular-with-the-local-youth bar downstairs. (Also canal-side annexe.) But the room was fairly quiet and very comfortable (good bed for crashing out on) and imaginatively decorated in a rather grandiose way. No lift (drawback) but kind person to carry heavy luggage upstairs (advantage). Food described as 'traditional Yorkshire', which means hefty (the restaurant is somewhat alarmingly called 'Rhubarb'). Staff all very pleasant and helpful.
