I stayed recently at this hotel and found the bedroom very small, even more so the bathroom, which was tiny and extremely uncomfortable to use. The noise level from the road at the front of the hotel was very loud, the windows did not cut out any of the traffic noise which continued throughout the night . The receptionist showed... more

Nice enough hotel, room was clean but the floor was very creaky and any time anyone walked up or down the corridor it sounded like they were trying to get in. I wasn't sure if it was the walls or floors that were paper thin as we definately had very audible easy listening music being piped in from one direction.... more

Hi my husband and I got married at the Dower House recently. Several family and friends from all over the country travelled to Knaresborough in North Yorkshire to see myself and my husband tie the knot on the 24 July. We had a really fantastic day, the hotel staff and the manager Melissa really could not have done enough to... more

Hi, just back from a five day stay at the Dowerhouse Hotel. Myself, my husband and my two kids (7 and 3) had a lovely time. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The breakfast we had was delicious - a wide variety to choose from. The staff were very friendly and helpful from suggesting places to eat to places... more

My first time in a UK hotel for many years, I'd forgotten what a doleful experience it can be. Perhaps I'm being unkind. The wedding parties on each of the two days I stayed (I didn't know people got married on a Sunday) seemed to be having a good time, but much of the service was geared toward ensuring this... more

For the second year running my husband and I have spent our Easter break at the Dower House. My husband never likes to return to the same hotel as we were once very disappointed with a hotel in Bournemouth, however after an enjoyable time last year I persuaded him to give it a try, and we were not disappointed. We... more

We spent a night here four years ago and said we would return one day. Managed to get an excellent deal of 3 course dinner bed and breakfast in a superiour room for £90 so wnet ahead and booked. Was alittle concerned when I checked recent reviews bit thought was worth giving it a go still. Not disappointed! Our room... more

My wife and I stayed here on Valentine's night of 2009. To say we were dissappointed would be an understatement. The rooms are OK - nothing special, but comfortable enough. It was the restaurant that we had the major issues with. Service was terrible and I ordered steak and had to send it back twice, as it was over-cooked both... more

We have just returned from a three night New Year break at the Dower House in Knaresborough. We were a little worried after reading the revews and have to agree that the bathroom is in need of some refurbishment (we were told that this is planned over the next few months). However, this was totally over-ridden by the fantastic, friendly... more
