The Highfield House

My husband booked me a surprise night away for my birthday. I hadn't expected it as we only live around the corner, but wow, I was blown away. He had booked us into the Kingsland suite, which was amazing. It was warm and spacious with a beautiful view over the grounds. The bath was huge and fabulous. It was so nice to be able to have a nice hot bath and relax before we went down for dinner. Our evening meal was amazing. I had the vegetarian main, which was lovely. I'm not a veggie, but I fancied something different, and this didn't disappoint. The dessert was also fabulous. I had the new doughnut dessert. The chef had even written happy birthday on my plate. Such a lovely touch. The staff were all very attentive and so friendly. You really feel welcome here. Nothing is too much trouble. After dinner we went into the parlour. This is such a lovely cosy room. I love that all the rooms are so different. Wherever you look, there is something to see. The bed in the room is huge and was so comfy. It's one of the best nights sleep I have had in ages. The toiletries in the room are amazing. They smell divine and I bought some to bring home. Breakfast the next day was lovely and there is plenty of choice. Even fussy people are catered for. I would recommend a treatment with Sarah. I was surprised with a facial and massage after my breakfast as a birthday present and after I left her room I felt truly relaxed and pampered. She is a godsend and I will be booking in for more treatments now I have found her! My only negative was that I had to leave! I really didn't want to. I can't wait to go back. Hopefully it is a new birthday tradition.

DINING RESERVATION - BE AWARE! Booked a table for 4 in the 1864 restaurant as a Xmas gift treat, received confirmation of this specifying 1864 restaurant. Travelled from Anlaby with guests, arrived only to be seated in (quote) ‘the parlour’ at a table that was like a booth in a pub. Still feel very angry & upset by this. Politely complained, & whilst apologetic & acknowledged, staff said it was what they do if 1864 is fully booked. I was at no point informed of this, otherwise I wouldn’t have booked. We were told we could wait until a table was vacated (couldn’t give us a timescale), which we declined. Then after our starter, they offered to switch us when table available, which my guests declined as they felt it was too late & a disruption. My issue was this was intended as a special event, in a lovely restaurant, not a pub style meal. I was not at any time advised that my booking wasn’t for 1864. They lied to me. Stars for: Food & waiting staff service was lovely.

The Sunday lunch was excellent. I had the beef and my wife had the vegetarian. As well as being excellent quality the portion size was also very generous. I also liked the friendliness and attention of the serving staff. Because the house is old with a contemporary twist it also has a great atmosphere.

really, £100 for an hour, a cup of hot chocolate and a small teddy, this experience would have been worth it if the parents did not have to pay, they did not even get e bar of chocolate, very beautiful setting however better expriences lasting 3 hrs only an hour away

Excellent Hotel and Restaurant Really nice one night break with dinner in the restaurant. All staff with whom we came into contact were excellent - well trained, efficient and very pleasant. Hotel was very nicely furbished with good attention to detail. Restaurant was particularly nice - good quality linens and crockery etc and nicely decorated. The upholstery throughout the hotel, including the restaurant was very nice and the main feature namely the food was very good indeed - compliments to the chef. Breakfast served in another of the hotel's rooms was also very good. Overall a very nice stay and a place which deserves to succeed.

Country House splendour! House has history, is quirky and adorned with beautiful things, and set in lovely gardens you just need to walk in. Staff friendly and very helpful. Charlotte took us in her own car into town when raining and no taxi available. Our room was quite small but beautifully designed. It was all we needed as mostly out, also we were on a tight budget and thought it very fairly priced. Got a bit hot in the night even though heating off. Bed was super comfy!! Lots of beautiful rooms and suits to choose from depending on your own budget. We were checked in early which was nice. A small cleaning problem in toilet was quickly rectified. Breakfast was ok. No fresh fruit or pastries, but cooked choice very good with excellent poached eggs! Sausage was tough though. Sounds very negative, but just being honest. Nothing would stop us returning though! Hopefully very soon. Thank you to all staff.
