Very comfortable property but you are left very much to fend for yourself. No breakfast included which would have made the stay better

This is not an easy review to write as in a couple of areas the hotel varied from 5* to 1* - hence the overall 3* rating.On the plus side, the rooms are excellent, clean, quiet and an ambience of luxury - definitely 5* rooms. However, we were surprised about car parking. Several of the websites like Expedia say that the hotel has 'parking included'. In practice, we were given a parking disc to allow us to have local on-road parking - which in this busy residential neighbourhood meant that we had to park in another road not near The Grafton. Even worse, the parking disc only allowed 3 hours of daily parking between 9am-6pm on Monday to Friday. This is not what I would consider to be 'parking included'. The huge stumbling block for us was breakfast. The Grafton's website has a section on Food & Drink, which proudly announces that they were awarded the AA Food & Breakfast Award in 2018. In addition, there are enticing pictures of the breakfast room and a list of tasty foods cooked to order. However...when we enquired about breakfast times, we were informed that they had stopped doing breakfast during Covid - we were, instead, presented with a list of local cafes where we could go and get breakfast if we wanted. We were naturally extremely disappointed with the lack of breakfast, despite the wording on the Grafton's website. So in summary, the rooms were excellent, parking is dreadful and the in-house breakfast is non-existent. We will not stay there again.

Really pleasant property with charm. Booked last minute, the owner greeted us, all prepared for our arrival. The room was beautifully presented, fresh and clean. Everything worked as it should, nothing negative to say about it at all. Within 5-10 mins walk of central Harrogate, through lovely tree lines residential streets. There is on-street parking, we arrived on Sat afternoon and parked right outside. At times when there are parking restrictions the hotel will provide permits to guests. A real find and no doubt we'll stay again.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Although there is no breakfast there is a nice lounge to eat your own food in and there are a number of eateries & shops nearby. The owners are lovely and helpful, the place is nice and it is a good location in the centre of Harrogate.

Room was very modern and clean - radiator heat and no AC made it a little challenging to control temp in springtime but with patience and open windows it was possible. Great bathroom & lovely tea/cookie setup.
