I have spent several months staying at this establishment and I must say it ranks up there with ‘The Best’ establishments anywhere!!. Carol & Tim are one of the loveliest couples you could meet and their service is second to none.

Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. Lovely room and great service. We hope to return to explore the area again.

I had occasion to visit Pontefract in order to attend my uncle’s Requiem. Searching for accomodation, I came upon this hotel via the ‘Web’. Without wishing to come across as ‘OTT’, I found it to be a ‘superb-value establishment’. It was pristine clean: the decor tasteful, much more so than the usual manifestations of ‘tacky attempts at good taste’, that masquerade as the ‘be all and end all’ of artistic decor. The owner and staff were so helpful. Breakfast was another matter!!! It could have been cooked by my mum!Quality! Super! Apologies for waxing lyrical but I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this hotel to all and the value for money!!!!!!!!!

A very warm welcome awaited me on my recent stay at Tower House. It was a freezing cold night and the whole house was glowingly warm inside, gorgeous! I was shown to my room and was immediately impressed with the level of attention to detail – this place is home from home; from the soft furnishings to the complimentary toiletries and refreshments. The bed was firm, as most of us would have at home, not some squidgy thing that feels great for the first 10 minutes, but leaves you crippled the next morning. But the crowning glory for me was Rita and her breakfasts!! I can’t remember ever having a breakfast in a B&B where it was nicer than you’d have at home! From the farmhouse bread (not pre-sliced rubbish), best butter and home-made jams and marmalades, to the awesome full English, with grilled cherry tomatoes on the vine, thick cut non-watery bacon and sausages bursting with flavour, this was one breakfast to set you up for the day! The ONLY improvement would have been a full-length mirror in my room. A truly enjoyable stay, and a gem of a B&B that I’d have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.
