Barcelo - accommodation in Harrogate

The hotel and staff are lovely

Having stayed for the Christmas Market last year, we thoroughly enjoyed it & so decided to stay for a bit longer this year. We emailed before we went to book a quiet room, & got a reply straight away stating it was sorted. We arrived early (certainly earlier than when it was advertised our room would be ready), & they were happy to store our luggage. This left us free to go into Harrogate (a five minute stroll). We advised we were going out to dinner, & they arranged a taxi for us. Upon return, we had a few drinks at Cedar Court's own bar, & again the staff were genuine & friendly. The lounge was really cosy, with it's lovely tree and decorations, (as were all the other communal areas). Day 2, we realised we'd booked the Turkish Baths in town, but hadn't brought a bag for our bathing things. We sheepishly asked the lady on reception if they had anything we could borrow, expecting a "no" tbh. Bless her though, she found us a tote bag & a waterproof carrier to put inside. Lifesaver & genuinely appreciated 🙏 Again, the barstaff that night were exceptional, & we had such a relaxing time. The room was clean, warm, cosy, had a tv, comfy bed, lots of sockets, a bath & shower with lovely hot water (not the lukewarm efforts that some places have). The bed was big & we slept like babies - very comfy. On the last day, we ate at Amber's (which is their onsite restaurant). The restaurant is very elegant, and the food was totally outstanding. Overall opinion of this hotel - superb!

Had a lovely 3 night stay here. Hotel room was very comfortable with the super king bed and the mini fridge was a bonus. Staff were always on hand to help and were extremely polite and friendly.
