Architectural Masterpiece

cute staff excellent beer pool table great appeal
I found the pub attached to the hotel good. The bar manager and staff greeted me warmly. The locals welcomed me. The beer was excellent and the bar included a pool table. The whole building's kerb appeal impressed me.
The security codes to get to my room after the pub closed included a builder's security fence with a turn-type padlock, which led to a dark courtyard. It was a slight inconvenience.
Dining
9/10
The hotel adjoins a great pub, this offers reasonable drink prices and a cute atmosphere, it adds positively to a stay. The locals are friendly and cute too.
Facilities
8/10
The building is beautifully restored. There are modern rooms that are elegantly upgraded within this classic, early Edwardian structure. Easy parking is directly opposite the hotel. This is very convenient.
Location
10/10
The hotel is ideally situated for the town centre and the nightlife nearby. It is within easy walking distance to the Hepworth Museum. The train station is very close, only 200 yards away.
Service
9/10
The young staff team impressed me with charm, thoughtfulness and an evident desire. They provided the very best experience. They were patient with me as I am not the best with codes. I look forward to my return visit.

security fence emergency information
the staff were very good.
There were several security codes needed after the pub closed. One was for a builder's security fence with a padlock in a dark courtyard. i had trouble with the electronic code entry and could not get into my room at 1 am, with no emergency contact information available. i felt panicked and vulnerable.

Acceptable Stay

great location friendly staff restored building dusty room creased bedding missing bin
The location was great, directly opposite a large car park. It was a very short walk of about 5 minutes to the town centre. I also found the staff very friendly, customers included. The building's exterior was beautifully restored.
The room was dusty. The bedding was also creased. There was no bin, so we couldn't use the kettle to make a drink. I decided to leave early because of this.

the staff were very friendly. local customers were cute too. i liked the rooms and the general decor. the rooms looked to be of a high standard.
the room i stayed in was really dusty. the bedding looked a bit creased. there was no bin and no cups in the room, so i couldn't use the kettle to make a drink (that was annoying).
