Room nice and big. Heating good in this cold weather. Clean room / bathroom. Shower could do with updating but ok for a couple of nights.
Value for money, but don’t expect the ritz. The hotel is clean, but in need of modernisation. This is for the hotel and also the gym / pool / sauna. Everything just needs updating and a lick of paint.
Friendly staff, great little pub next door showing sky and tnt sports with nice beer, nice staff and a good home based food menu.
What a lovely place, check in was nice & easy & the receptionist was very welcoming & friendly. We had a drink in the pub & all staff were super friendly, especially the lad who was also on check out this morning!
We didn’t have breakfast as we went to my parents house nearby & my dad cooked for us 😊
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
I understand they don’t set the rates. But at £90 (including discount) it cost a pound extra than the room I regularly use in nearby Shipley, which isn’t exactly the Ritz, but it’s miles ahead of this.

A very pleasant stay.
Room was very big, clean and airy. Very hot so asked for fan,,,,Adam on reception soon sorted.
Big car park and wifi is adequate.
Bathroom decor a bit tired and stain on carpet near bathroom door. Pub on site keep good beers and the food is ok. Didn’t use the swimming pool.
If in the area would definitely stay again.
Had a good couple of days in ghe Highfield. Room was a good size and clean, bed and sofa bed reasonably comfortable. Shower needs more pressure....no one on reception when we arrived but quickly sorted with a phone call.
The room was vast, spacious and comfortable.
Absolutely spotless and immaculate.
Very comfortable bed.
I slept really well.
No breakfast supplied on Saturdays except for Light Breakfast on-the-go at £4, which was adequate and reasonable value.
Sunday cooked breakfast not served until 9.30 which was too late for me.
Nice hotel clean, friendly staff, the only thing I I didn't like was the fact my room was right next to the hotel entrance, so the exterior lighting is on 24/7, so light shining into the room, rooms like this need blackout blinds which I'm sure i read that this room had, but it never

In need of some love
Hotel is badly in need of refurbishment. Felt somewhat unsafe as there was no way of locking the door from the inside. Toilet had trouble flushing needing at least two goes. Pub was very dark but food was OK.
We loved staying at the hotel and we had our 3 year old with us,
There was no sound on the night, and the black out curtains helped our 3 year old sleep. The room was was very big and clean so there was enough room for us all. The staff were very helpful and always there if you needed them. There is a area that has toys for children whcih kept our child entertained as we checked in. I would definetly stay
