We are a couple celebrating our wedding anniversary. We pre booked our table for 7,30pm. We got there a bit early, but were able to be seated straight away. We were in Henry 111 restaurant. We were very impressed with the service we got from our waitress and others. I asked for no tomato and no onions on my burger, and that was clearly noted. The food was well presented and very tasty. We would definitely recommend it to everyone. We got married here, so to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary was a very special evening.

Overnight stop on our way north. Great location just off the A1. We really enjoyed our stay here, such a friendly place with the loveliest staff. The receptionist was funny and welcoming, the bar staff were great and the wonderful lady taking the breakfast order was a delight. The manager (Chris I think) was fabulous, so friendly and attentive. By chance, we were staying on the evening of their quiz (Tuesday). It's all done by mobile, meaning that we could eat dinner while doing the quiz and hosted by Chris. It was great fun, and it was obvious that there are a really nice bunch of locals who come for the quiz ( but the Tartan Travellers still managed a pretty decent third place!). The food was lovely, my wife and I both had the sea bass which was delicious, and the breakfast was really good. The bar and restaurant areas are really nice, with the only small gripe being the bedroom. It was definitely in need of a bit of an upgrade, and has a hole in the floor which my wife ( who has mobility issues) tripped on several times. We had to put toilet roll on the floor over the hole so that she could avoid it. This did not spoil our stay, the bed was comfortable, there are tea and coffee making facilities and as previously stated the bar and restaurant are great. A bit of tlc in the rooms would really lift the place. Overall a pleasant stay and the hotel should be proud of their staff if not the quality of the room!.

Stayed here for the weekend on the top floor. Receptionist very helpful and pleasant. Room recently renovated and brilliant apart from having no bulbs fitted in the lamps so it was a very BRIGHT room as only the ceiling lights working. ( The receptionist said it was because they had to re-order the right size bulbs?). Loved the new decor. Had a bit of a job managing to find channels on the tv but it was a nice big wall mounted one. Air con was good and heated the room nicely. Liked the fact that the windows opened. Bathroom small but very clean and adequate. Shower not that powerful. Corridors a bit too dark… could do with a lighter paint colour. But the bed… both the mattress and pillows…WOW… so comfy it was hard to get out of!! Cleaning staff helpful. Didn’t use the restaurant for evening meal or breakfast. Friday night it was totally empty and Saturday night it was heaving with a private party. We used the nearby restaurants to eat. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

I was on my way home and just needed somewhere close to the A1. I was pleasantly surprised by the good size room, comfy bed and spotless bathroom. I’d had a difficult journey and the staff were lovely, helping me to relax. The receptionist found me a nicer room than my original booking and the barman had a nice chilled glass of rosé for me.

All of the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly during my stay which added to the experience. The hotel is truly lovely and the setting is beautiful. The rooms are well appointed and the views from the rooms and bar were amazing but it’s the high level of customer service that makes me want to return and recommend this hotel as a place to stay in Wakefield.

Stayed for two nights whilst visiting the Leeds area. The hotel is showing it’s age a little but our room was cosy and clean and overlooking the rear of the hotel so nice and quiet. Dining options are somewhat less than central Leeds but there is a Toby Carvery on site and a lovely pub - The New Mason Arms - selling a range of bar meals at reasonable prices just five minutes walk away. Unlike central Leeds, parking is free and there are frequent buses into the City Centre and taking just 20 minutes. The inclusive breakfast was both varied and plentiful. A great alternative to central Leeds for leisure travellers.
