Due to failures from the booking in staff to pass on that there was a wedding reception happening on the day of my booking and not moving me to a room away from the main hotel i had the worst nights sleep ever. People banging around corridors and rooms till 1am in the morning, loud music blaring through main hotel no sound proofing at all. With what little sleep i was able to achieve i missed breakfast as i slept through. Room was of decent size bathroom for an executive room was tiny 1 person in at a time. Awful view of back of hotel. All in all waste of money won't stay there again in a hurry, wouldnt recommend at all. Was told on the sunday someone would look in to my booking as to why i wasn't offered an external room and 2 days later I'm still waiting.

When booking on line just over night stay , ROOM 9. Has no window. Terrible nights sleep. Plus the man on reception when booking in at 5.30. Was VERY UN HELPFUL, . My husband and I have osteoarthritis in the knees. I said we couldn’t do the stairs because of this. The man said he couldn’t do anything for us. We have stayed there 3 times and always have a chalet ground floor, Your man whom needs re training even though been with you for 14 years. I would not give him a reception job ever. Another basic point eating in the restaurant, requested again Worcestershire sauce for steak dinner 3 rd time no sorry we don’t use that. The young ladies said they never heard off it. Pls train waitress I had to get all this off my chest as it was manifesting too long. We stay at the Kings Croft for when we travel up from Suffolk to visit family. And like comfort and polite manners. Look forward to hearing from you Kind regards Kathleen Hoare You’re standaar

A really lovely hotel set in beautiful manicured grounds. Our room was large and appeared to have been really decorated and recarpeted. Without doubt, we will stay there again when we next visits Pontefract. One tiny negative was a cold sausages breakfast.
