Dog friendly - done right
We chose Knaresborough for its location and The Inn for its stated dog friendliness. From the moment I called to add our dog to the booking to our departure it was clear that this is not an establishment that just 'accepts dogs'. It has gone out of its way to plan for them. Our room had external access that facilitated keeping the hotel clean after walks as well as easy loo breaks. The dog menu was a hit too.

Perfectly pleasant but not luxurious.
Nothing actually wrong with the room, it was clean and pleasant enough but just not worth the money we paid. No bottled water in the room or nice touches - it was just average. I left my phone charger in the room but it disappeared when I went back to retrieve it.

Lovely hote
Very attentive and helpful staff. Spotlessly clean. Very well appointed room with a comfy bed and good bathroom. Nice bar with lots of space. Breakfast very enjoyable. The only downside was the main evening meal - it wasn’t unpleasant but really wasn’t in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Seemed very ‘processed’ if that makes sense. Certainly won’t stop us returning to the hotel next time we visit Yorkshire

Could be a lot better
Hotel pretty good, staff friendly, rooms excellent however didn't like having to go to the bar to order food, this is supposed to be a 3/4 star hotel not a corner pub, if I have a criticism unfortunately the food is poor, in marking it out if ten it is no more than a 4.
