Cedar Court Harrogate

Cedar Court Harrogate

10/10 Excellent
"Room was nice and clean, with a few marks on the carpet, which looked like where furniture had been previously, so not dirty. Room was quite small and only had sky light windows, which did allow a good deal of light into the room, but unable to look out of the window as you would in a normal window, which is shame as the hotel is in lovely location in Harrogate. Bed very comfy and tea and coffee facilities , which you could refresh at reception if you needed. Did also have a complimentary biscuit each and although very nice, was probably the smallest biscuit ever!! Good choice of hot and cold food at breakfast and topped up regularly, with staff very friendly and helpful, if you had any requests or queries. Only had one drink in the bar on the night and reasonable, when comparing to hotel prices. This is the second time we’re have stayed at cedar court and there have greatly improved the downstairs facilities, with the breakfast seating area a very pleasant place to eat. Would stay there again in future."

8/10 Good
"Nice Hotel with lots of parking, but if arriving late may have to park on street. Hotel only 4 min walk downhill to the city center, very handy. Building could be doing with some TLC, management do agree, notices saying bare with them its a work in progress. Building has so much character and beautiful stained glass windows. Staff, great, very approachable and helpful. Singer entertainer and Disco at weekend. Breakfast usual cereals, yoghurt, fruit juice, fruit, toast. Also served cooked buffet. All very tasty. Good value, for being so close to town."
