Warm, friendly staff and comfortable room

Great friendly welcome and comfortable room, albeit there was (understandably) some noise which is to be expected with rooms attached to a pub. Breakfast offering was good with the staff to be highly commended for a very warm welcome to breakfast and general housekeeping.

Satisfactory venue, but a few "tweaks" needed

Inordinate delay to order food. More staff in bar would be an idea Then long wait before meal arrived. Poor menu choice for one of us with dairy intolerance At the buffet breakfast, great chunks of bacon ie. individual slices not separated before cooking. Short on fresh fruit. Accommodation fine Reception staff helpful on where to visit in town Finally heartbroken when after only one pint of Black Sheep, run out!

Dog friendly - done right

We chose Knaresborough for its location and The Inn for its stated dog friendliness. From the moment I called to add our dog to the booking to our departure it was clear that this is not an establishment that just 'accepts dogs'. It has gone out of its way to plan for them. Our room had external access that facilitated keeping the hotel clean after walks as well as easy loo breaks. The dog menu was a hit too.

Liked the building/ room. Staff pleasant (but overworked). Didn’t like poor breakfast (lots of food/drink missing, arriving in dribs and drabs), stained pillowcases. Poor value/standards for money considering £260/night.

Perfectly pleasant but not luxurious.

Nothing actually wrong with the room, it was clean and pleasant enough but just not worth the money we paid. No bottled water in the room or nice touches - it was just average. I left my phone charger in the room but it disappeared when I went back to retrieve it.
