My friend and I were able to get an evening meal which was delicious and served promptly. Breakfast was excellent - a help yourself arrangement from a great choice and freshly made. Room was fantastic, old beams and modern facilities and no sounds from the rest of the hotel. The hotel is handy for all the attractions Knaresborough has to offer.
Nothing to add here

Great location
Easy parking
Attractive building
we were there during the heatwave and the stand fan had a short flex and wasn't powerful enough to make much difference - 2 individual bedside fans may have helped

We loved our room in the Annex. Very comfortable, clean and quiet. We had a great sleep.
The self service breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
The hotel is VERY dog friendly
There didn’t seem to be a lot of staff on duty and we had a bit of a wait to check in

The location is excellent and convenient for all knaresborough has to offer and within easy reach if York and Harrogate
We were lucky to be houses in room 1 which is a stand alone cottage and although it is noisy when beer garden is full and with traffic noise it is very private. I do need to point out one fact about the accommodation snd that is the dust. The wardrobe haf shelves that were falling off and the dust on bottom shelf where the safe was myst have never been dusted it was about 2mm deep. We were unfortunate to drop something that rolled under the bed so lifted it up to find a thick layer of dust and dirt and someone else's lip which we left there. I am sure if you look it is still there. This was unfortunate as we gad a really lovely stay.

The Knaresborough Inn is dog friendly which was our main draw. The parking is free and plenty of it. The wide range of food and drinks with helpful staff will ensure that we will definitely be returning. Thank you.
There was nothing not to like.

No extra bedding for pull out bed - we had to ask for it
Room was quite dusty in places
The food wasn't as good as we had hoped for the price

Very Good
The room was well-appointed, and the shower room, whilst small, was perfectly adequate. Dinner was very good, with a decent number of choices. Breakfast was good, but perhaps some bowls could be placed nearer to the fruit rather than just the cereal (I didn't locate them until after I'd used a plate! Another guest used a juice glass. Staff were very personable and helpful, particularly the young man on breakfast duty on the 24th.
Our room - 101 - was reached via an outside staircase, with very steep steps. At 71 I think I need to start admitting that I find this sort of arrangement a bit more challenging than I used to. I will make this clear next time we stay. Other guests who had managed to lock themselves out woke us just after 6am unfortunately, but that was not the hotel's fault.
