Orchard Club Hotel

Sorry in advance Orchard House! We chose this facility because of the previous great reviews but what a mistake! The photographs shown are completely misleading. This property is not a hotel, it is a B&B, its is situated on a very very busy main road and traffic is passing from early in the morning until late at night. Unfortunately we had a room at the front of the hotel and even using the ear plugs provided (we did think it strange) we didn’t get much sleep and were woken very early both mornings we were there. The reception area, if you could call it that, is accessed via a small conservatory type building at the rear of the premises, it is not signposted and we only found it by luck! The car park access in my opinion is dangerous, to access it you have a tight turn into a very narrow passage off the busy main road taking care not to hit any pedestrians, if you have a large car you have no chance! This choice of lodgings was made more annoying as it was the more expensive of 2 we we’re looking at, as there was no bar at Orchard House we walked 10 minutes along the road to The Knaresborough Inn(our other choice), what a difference! This was a quieter location, it had a bar and served food, which by the way was delicious and it had an easier access to the river, also it would have been £60 cheaper for our stay. Well we live and learn. On the plus side the staff at Orchard House were friendly and the breakfast was very nice. Would we stay there again? Not a chance!

Pleasant traditional English B&B hotel. Easy parking. Welcoming host. The single room was cosy and comfortable. Lots of tea/coffee options in the room plus paid mini bar snacks & drinks. Great quality breakfast. Location perfect for walking into town.

A nice room, but the radiator wasn't working. Took some time to find someone to bring in a heater. After that, great. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for breakfast. About a ten minute walk to the train station. It is on the main road, but my room was at the back and very quiet.

Breakfast wa the best weve tasted, the home made granola and hash browns amazing. Room very spacious hosts lovely. We cannot fault this place.

We have had a delightful stay. A lovely independent hotel where every one tried their best to make sure we had everything we needed. The bedrooms were themed to plants. Ours was Papaya, and it was clean and very comfortable. A top class breakfast cooked to order. I can recommend the full English and Eggs Benedict. If we had stayed another day, I would have tried the salmon and scrambled eggs.
