The Kestrel is a Vintage Inns hotel and restaurant, my wife and I stayed here 15 years ago and thought we’d see if it still had the same charm and quality that it had before. We were not disappointed, everything about this place welcoming, friendly and comfortable with a superb menu at extremely reasonable prices. We stayed for 2 nights on a bed and breakfast basis and also had dinner both nights. The food was served efficiently by friendly and attentive staff and the ingredients were all of very good quality. The well stocked bar local ales and some from further afield. The rooms are spacious, light and airy with upgraded bathrooms. Each room is well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities, ample power points (with USB ports and a large electric fan for summer temperatures. The lovely towns of Knaresborough and Harrogate are only a few minutes drive away. Until the 1980s the Kestrel was a working farm with evidence of the past with attractive stone walls and large oak beams.

What an amazing place to stay, the warmest of welcomes awaits you, such friendly staff, the manager Louise is one of the nicest most helpful people I’ve met, the waiting staff Francesca and Gemma were the best. The food is first rate, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented, excellent value for money. The rooms are befitting an old farm building with everything you need, the bed was firm but comfy. Ideally situated just outside of Harrogate and York perfect setting for trips out. Will definitely be coming back.

Had a two night break here recently, location is great for us, 3 mins to rudding park, 5 mins to Harrogate, 5 mins to a retail park. The pub itself has a nice setting , good beer garden, is nice internally too. Food was great, ate here both nights and enjoyed it. Room was as nice, had everything you need. Pillows were flat that’s my only negative. Would stop here again.

Sadly our visit wasn't great! We visited last year for drinks/meal pre Yorkshire Show, loved it and booked a room as soon as the GYS 2024 dates were released. It was expensive but because we thought it would be lovely so went ahead and booked. On arrival we had a couple of staff ask if we were being seen to, and when we said yes they each said ok I'll get someone. So it took a while before we shown to our room. The room itself was small but ok, the bed was comfy, pillows not great - but the bathroom totally let it all down. The bathroom was dirty, there were four BIG spiders in it (I kid you not - one in each corner of the bathroom), the toilet seat was broken, the mirror was hung so high you could barely see into it and there was a smashed part of the wall near the mirror where the plasterwork was all broken and the paintwork damaged. Ordinarily we'd overlook this, but for £194 a night we'd expected more. Dinner was not a great affair. They had all the external doors open so it was freezing (blinkin freak July weather!), much of the menu was unavailable, and there was an air of hurriedness about the place. The staff were too busy to make any pleasantries and it was generally all a bit soul-less. Woken up at 5am by the dray wagon's 'danger vehicle reversing' alarm and then the bumping and clanging of the delivery - argh! We checked out the next morning to go to the show without anyone acknowledging us or saying goodbye. All in all it was not a great experience! All in all

This is a great place to stay and dine. The rooms are well maintained and very comfortable, and the food is excellent. Louise and her team are very pleasant, helpful and friendly and we would highly recommend The Kestrel.

Not a great experience. Room was right over the kitchen fans which were ridiculously loud and didn’t switch off till 10pm and started again at about 7 am. The tele didn’t work atall so couldn’t even watch this to drown out the noise. Mattress was awful, very uncomfortable. We spoke to manager who said we would receive a refund within 3 days still waiting, I have had to chase this up and still waiting for someone to come back to me
