Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel is frequently praised for its spacious and very clean rooms, particularly the suites, which some guests have found amazing, offering comfortable beds and sometimes even a TV at the end of the bath. The hotel's rural location is often described as lovely and quiet, and the gardens are immaculate. While most appreciate the value, some guests have occasionally found the mattresses too hard for their liking. Many enjoy dining in the Jacobean Pub, especially the breakfast with its full English options.

a satisfactory stay

helpful staffbeautiful gardenswarm roomconstant noise
the staff were professional and helpful. the gardens were beautifully kept. i found air-con in the room, very useful due to the high outside temperature. the food in the jacobean pub was good quality too.
the room was very warm and i could not find a heater. i thought the windows were locked. heavy machinery made sleep difficult. there was a constant pulsing sound.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

helpful staffdormitory feelloud music
The staff were helpful when I needed assistance.
My room was not ideal. It felt more like a dormitory because it had multiple beds. I could also hear thumping from a DJ. This made it difficult to sleep.

Fantastic Yorkshire Getaway!

lovely gardensfree parkingbroken dispenser
The staff were amazing, genuinely friendly and helpful. The hotel's gardens were gorgeous, providing lovely spots for walking and relaxing with plenty of seating areas. Free parking was convenient. I found the restaurant's food to be delicious and the service was efficient, especially for a big group.
I found the hand soap dispenser in the bathroom didn't work. I had to use shower gel. I reported it, it was dealt with quickly. Still, it was initially inconvenient.
