Book Appletreewick hotels

Location was ideal for visiting Harrogate town centre, and parking was plentiful. Overall property was clean and comfortable, but could do with a bit of TLC / updating. Wallpaper in the corridor next to room 237 was hanging off and some areas need freshening up with a repaint. We chose to have an evening meal in the restaurant, which was advertised as ‘Carvery style’, however, probably due to it not being busy, our order was taken at the table, which wasn’t particularly a problem. One of us chose the roast turkey and the other had lamb shank, but we did feel the choice of vegetables was very limited given it was advertised as ‘carvery style’ … we were offered sauté potatoes, butternut squash and cabbage, which left the turkey dinner looking rather bland, and we felt that there was too much meat in comparison to the amount of vegetables provided. The breakfast offered had plenty of variety (both hot and cold), and was generally very good, except the fried eggs which were not freshly cooked, and having been on a covered hot plate, were disappointingly hard. All of the staff we met were very pleasant and helpful, and the hotel was lovely and quiet during our stay, so we enjoyed a restful stay. We also felt the price including breakfast was very reasonable, and would definitely stay there again.

Room though clean was a little dated

Parking chaotic as it's not monitored for non-resident use and spaces are not clearly marked as reserved. Some rooms are only accessible by a tortuous set of narrow stairs not ideal for anyone but the fitest and most agile! Staff were excellent in helping find us an alternative room, however.

Great room

Great building, location and staff. “Executive” room (402) was on 4th floor, lift only goes to 3rd floor. On arrival on 4th floor, no corridor lighting so had to use light on phone to see room number. Room was especially small; same applies to 409, others on floor significantly larger. On escape plan, bathroom was bigger than bedroom. There was a bad smell of drains in corridor and in room. Windows were wide open on arrival. After closing, smell in bathroom became apparent. Bathroom door would not shut. Bedroom window did not shut properly leading to draughty and excessive wind noise. TV worked but had tape around edges. Desk area for fridge had no fridge. The smell and window were mentioned to staff at checkout. Would suggest asking hotel to not put you in rooms 402 or 409

I've stayed at The Crown a few times...and many will say its outdated...needs a lick of paint...not me...its quite a charming hotel with character and squeaky floorboards...dont ever change...plus the location is fantastic...
