Award-winning Yorkshire breakfasts at a 300-year-old Georgian townhouse in Knaresborough
Amenities
Orchard Club holds the 2019 Taste Award for Best Yorkshire Breakfast, recognized by the Yorkshire Post for quality dining. The hotel operates an honesty bar concept, allowing guests to serve themselves from a stocked selection of drinks and snacks in the communal spaces. The spacious guest sitting room features orchard-themed decor and original Georgian period detailing, with a fireplace and games available for use.
Rooms
Each room is named after a fruit and includes a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and an en suite bathroom with shower and free toiletries. The Double Room with Four Poster Bed offers a super-king-sized bed and a fridge with drinks and snacks for purchase. The Family Room is housed in a separate building from the main house, providing added privacy and a child-sized bed instead of a pull-out.
Dining
Breakfast is made from fresh local ingredients, including free-range eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, homemade granola, and fruit compotes. Guests can order a full English breakfast, eggs Benedict, or porridge with sultanas steeped in malt whisky. The menu also covers special dietary needs, such as vegetarian and gluten-free options, all included in the room rate.
Location
Orchard Club sits in central Knaresborough, a 10-minute drive from Harrogate and 30 minutes from York. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a 45-minute drive away, and the A1M motorway is only 5 minutes by car. Nearby attractions include Mother Shipton's Cave, the Petrifying Well, and the castle ruins overlooking the River Nidd.
Family & Pet-Friendly
Dogs are welcome at Orchard Club, and the hotel provides designated dog-friendly rooms. Family rooms are available, including the separate-build Family Room with a proper single bed for children. The hotel also offers allergy-free rooms and facilities for disabled guests, such as grab rails in bathrooms.

“I found the hotel's position in town to be a significant advantage, placing key areas within easy reach. The rooms themselves are thoughtfully appointed, with considerable attention paid to comfort, from the bedding to the well-stocked refreshment trays. It's clear that the daily breakfast experience is a strong suit, noted for its quality and breadth of choice.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukyorkshire
