Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Grantham Arms Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Grantham Arms for its comfortable and spacious rooms, some boasting separate bathrooms with great showers and thoughtful touches; the rooms often feature nice interiors with quirky Yorkshire decor. The hotel's food is frequently mentioned as outstanding, with the breakfast being described as fresh and large. While generally peaceful, a few guests in specific rooms have occasionally noticed some traffic noise or noise from the outdoor seating area; also some felt evening meal was a bit bland. The location is considered perfect, especially for those visiting Wetherby Races, being only 18 minutes away, and for exploring the centre of Boroughbridge via a short stroll.
