Chevin Country Park Hotel & Spa, Otley

Stayed 16th May 2014

Lovely setting and could be a beautiful hotel, however the place is very run down and needs some life injected into it. Maintenance is poor and room we were given was depressing. Outside space is plentiful however more seating around the chalets would enhance enjoyment. The deal we got was value for money. The food was good but devoid of vegetables! Wifi was lacking with intermittent service. Don't rely on it! Staff all friendly and helpful.

Stayed 14th May 2014

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Good food and friendly staff. Ideal location for exploring Yorkshire dales

Stayed 27th April 2014

The best food that we have ever experienced in a 3* hotel. Interesting and varied table d'hote menu well cooked and presented food. Adequate for us particularly as supplemented by several samples of taster sized sample dishes from the a la carte menu. Hearty appetites might prefer the larger dishes from the a la carte. Staff welcoming, helpful and friendly. Only downside was having to wait a long time for our dessert on the first (Sunday) evening. We upgraded our room on booking and had a comfortable ground floor in the main building with a lake view.

Stayed 27th April 2014

Our third visit and we will be back again.

Stayed 13th April 2014

Very quiet, lovely surroundings, just what I needed. However not the most suitable for people with walking difficulties.

Stayed 31st March 2014

Lovely hotel, good food, friendly staff but, despite assurances from hotel, not really suitable for wheelchair users. Disabled room in one of the "lodges", not in main building, and to reach this from reception entailed negotiating 6 doorways and a wheelchair lift. All of the doorways had raised wooden thresholds of varying heights, most with self closing mechanisms, and were difficult to negotiate. One doorway in particular was very narrow, in fact only just wide enough to accommodate a standard width manual self propelling wheelchair which meant my wife was unable to negotiate this unassisted. Spacious bedroom but unable to gain access until I had moved beds and bedside cabinets. Spacious bathroom but very small shower cubicle with no seat. Only one assistance bar next to toilet but, because of the way it had been installed, could not be "parked" in the vertical position making transfer from wheelchair impossible. Would love to be able to stay at this hotel again but definitely not suitable at present.

Stayed 22nd March 2014

The only negative feedback about the weekend break was the weather, but that is not the fault of the hotel. Food and service were second to none, more the standard of a 5 star hotel than 3 star. The pool and jacuzzi were not as clean as they could have been. Also the lighting in the bedroom was poor.

Stayed 25th January 2014

Bedrooms were very small and are in need of a refurb. Staff were very pleasant and the restaurant was lovely, as was the food.

Stayed 4th January 2014

We had a lovely weekend in our own log cabin in the grounds.very clean,lovely staff and a huge breakfast choice,won't be long before we are back.

Stayed 3rd January 2014

We have stayed at The Chevin Country Park Hotel twice, both times in the lodges. No complaints about either stay. Really relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely return again.

Stayed 28th December 2013

Disappointed with room. Very small and dark with little lighting and clothes storage. We booked 3 rooms and the others were much larger and lighter. Difficult to move around and unable to read in bed as only one bedside light. Twixmas programme excellent. Food and service excellent and always with a smile. Would love to return.

Stayed 27th December 2013

Had a fantastic Twixmas break between 27-30 December. We were in one of the woodland lodges. Excellent value for money as we got a fantastic half price deal, and would have booked it for December 2014 while we were there if the price was the same. All areas, bar, restaurant and reception are all wood and with the smell of log fires it was perfect for Christmas. Food was excellent for at breakfast and evening meal but if you are a fussy eater you may struggle, choice of Pigeon and Trout as a starter one night which my wife and son wouldnt try. A Gala Dinner on the Sunday night was a bonus but prior to going we asked if it was a tuxedo style event and were told it wasnt however a lot of people were dressed formally (had obviusly been before). The Spa and Gym very good although the pool was very cold and the changing rooms full if you had more than four people in. In a great location to visit local area, Otley,Ilkley,Harrogate, Wetherby and Skipton are all within 20miles. Would highly recommend this hotel, location, food, service from staff everything about it was just what we wanted for a Christmas Break

Stayed 6th December 2013

Superb hotel.

Stayed 6th November 2013

Beautiful location. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Dining experience of 6 course tasting menu was excellent - obviously small portions but we left the dining room feeling rather full. Nice to have breakfast made to order instead of the normal buffet. Only criticism was the food for both dinner and breakfast could have been a bit hotter. Some of the dinner courses were hot and others weren't. The bedroom was adequate with both a trouser press and iron/ironing board. Ensuite a little bit small but okay. As with most hotels the lighting in the bedroom was not very good. Having said all that, we would definitely return to this hotel if in the area.
