Lovely place to stay in a lovely area.

We only stayed one night, but we found the hotel to be inan excellent location to enjoy a beautiful evening in Harrogate. The hotel is a classic old grand hotel with all the charm you would expect from such a place. It has all the lovely touches you need and it is such a refreshing difference from the modern quite sterile luxury chains. To top it off we had a lovely day in Knaresborough just a few minutes drive away the next day and i definitely see us coming back to the area and this hotel.

Fantastic staff, tired building.

What I have to say about this hotel is that all staff are friendly, knowledgeable and a credit to the hotel. My room was absolutely spotless (massive credit to housekeeping), really well appointed, comfortable bed with a lovely modern bathroom…just don’t look out of the window! My wooden windows were going rotten, a bit like the whole of the outside building. This hotel needs a lot of money spending on the actual building to bring it up to scratch. I feel sorry for the staff, as I kind of felt that their professionalism and great attitude was let down by a very tired building.

Well priced hotel, within easy walking distance to Harrogate town centre. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice sized room which was clean, with comfortable beds. Modern bathroom, nicely fitted out - looked recently done. Some nice original features around the hotel, the lobby area, particularly, was stunning with stone pillars & arches

I stopped over here on my way down South. I found the hotel old and beautiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and it was only a short walk into twin. Lovely restaurants nearby. Price was excellent. A lot of older people and perhaps entertainment in bar wasn’t to my taste but all in all a very pleasant stay.

Our stay at the Cairn Hotel was very enjoyable. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Whilst the building is very old and a little dated it was very clean in public areas and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and sufficient variety for all tastes. Parking was easy and no problem finding space albeit very busy over weekend.
