Top 10 British Library Hotels

Had my night before the big day here with the best man. What a brilliant place! We really enjoyed the dinner and the grounds especially, but other highlights included the cocktail bar and the swimming pool. Service by all staff was fantastic and I got a really good and well-needed night's sleep; the room itself was flawless and the bed really comfortable. I'll be sure to consider it again for any other special occasions.

well what can I say. from start to finish it was perfect. the ladies in reception were so welcoming and friendly! they made sure we knew what we were doing and where we were going. the building is lovely, clean and welcoming. the staff at the pool bar were friendly and helpful. the room was gorgeous and had everything you could ever need. the spa was clean and relaxing😍 we had an evening meal where Michael served us, he was lovely! so kind, friendly and funny. made us feel so welcomed and at home. Was so helpful! he is a gem! the food was to die for and left feeling so full and content. i cant give this place enough praise! 10/10 and will definitely be back. such great value and a gorgeous venue and amazing staff !

It is very quiet and beautiful to have a wedding here. The surrounding environment is super beautiful.

Beautiful looking hotel on arrival but I left disappointed and uncared for. I am a single female business traveller visiting sites across the country and required a hotel room close to wetherby so chose the bridge. Hotel room nice although bathroom needed a good paint. As a business traveller I have to depart early normally just before 7. I was disappointed to not be able to access breakfast and was told by a member of staff heading towards the kitchens the departing morning nothing is available including reception until 7. I had mentioned it to reception on check in and they assured me the continental elements of the breakfast would be available from 6:30 and that there was NO take away service availability for a business traveller. I did manage to forage a slice of bread lol which had to suffice. The bed was comfy but the shower although powerful never got warm in the morning even after running it for over 10 minutes so had to grit my teeth during my freezing ablutions. I had to play hunt the tea tray and to extract it from its hidden location meant getting down on my hands and knees The hairdryer stopped blowing after 5 seconds….. thank god I had travel one with me as remember, I would not have got help as no one was at reception ! So probably a lovely stay for those on vacation in the york area but for me as a business user, I would be hesitant to stay here again unless I had the opportunity to start work later I would have told reception my issues as posting a review as a first contact point is not my style, however if you remember they were not there!

Staff very friendly. We got upgraded - or room was very nice especially for the price we paid. There are no evening meals at the moment due to the hotel having just be taken over by a new owner and still getting organised. Interesting shower with Japanese option. Water hot Clean. Would definitely stay here again

Nice little Inn in a pleasant village. On arrival, we found the room to be very clean, but very cold. We had not phoned ahead to advise of arrival time, so this was not unexpected. We soon got the room to temperature with the adequate radiator. There was a good size TV and working remote control. It was nice to have a mirror, often lacking in hotel rooms. However, the bathroom was very cold (in tune with the weather) and although there was a towel radiator, there was no facility to switch it on, so the night visits to the loo and morning showers were fairly grim experiences for a February morning. Breakfast was the most disappointing part of the say. Firstly, there no cereals options. When asked, they said they could find something, but it was an offer of just two uninviting choices. There were no fruit items or yoghurts either, Thankfully I had brought my morning grapefruit with me on the trip, but my wife had nothing. There was no choice of fruit juice, just a half of a small glass of orange juice (already poured), that tasted cheap and oversweet. The cooked breakfast was minimal and the mushrooms were well past their ”eat by date” being dried up, wrinkled and too leathery to consume. When they get to that stage it is best to throw them away and offer an alternative. The negatives override the positives, so we will probably not return.
