Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Orchard Club, housed in a beautifully decorated Grade II listed building, often delights guests with its large and spacious rooms, some featuring handy fridges. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring Knaresborough, placing you within walking distance of attractions and providing convenient access to Harrogate and York, plus there's ample free parking. Breakfast receives high praise, offering a wide choice including gluten-free and vegetarian options, with some even highlighting the porridge with whisky-steeped sultanas; however, a few guests have noted that some rooms lack storage. Despite this small point, it's often considered a great find with delicious freshly cooked breakfast.
