Excellent location

The location and spacious room makes this a win. Good shower too. Very dog friendly Downside, the room was SO hot. We asked for a fan and they were great and delivered it quickly. Despite position the fan on a chair at the foot of the bed we were both really warm. It wasn’t a particularly hot weekend, it peaked at 23…. But we noticed that the floor was always warm and that heated up the room. The hotel is big, lots of car spaces, I can see that in its day it would have been stunning where as now it looks a bit past its best days. But for the price, it balances itself out and I’d stay here again.

The Cairn Hotel is a large Victorian hotel which may have seen better days but is still clean and tidy. It is in a convenient spot on Ripon Road within easy walking distance of the main attractions. The staff are very polite and efficient. Our room was very spacious and while lacking some amenities like a minibar and air conditioning was perfectly adequate for a few days break. An enjoyable cooked breakfast is available but the continental breakfast is a little on the poor side. We did not have dinner in the hotel as there are many fine restaurants in Harrogate.

The Cairn hotel was excellent value for money, we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly, the food was good abd the bed was comfy, what more can you ask. Our only negative was the hotel was looking tired in parts with flaky paint on the ceiling.
