Stayed here last night ..... what a lovely place to stay .... rooms were beautifully decorated and had a luxurious feel .... a lovely touch were the freshly baked biscuits all prettily wrapped.... they were delicious.... also enjoyed browsing through the chefs very own cookbook which was also in the room. The meal was top notch quality all made from locally sourced produce and although the restaurant was busy staff were attentive and made the whole experience of staying here very special. The breakfast was also great with a large menu choice all freshly cooked to order ( no buffet style queuing)..... we will definitely be back

Amazing food and amazing service- perfect place for a Saturday night date! The staff made us feel very welcome and there was plenty of delicious dishes to choose from! I’d thoroughly recommend picking something that is served with their dauphinois potatoes as well as choosing crumble off the desert menu � I can’t wait for my next visit!

A fabulous atmosphere, wonderful and attentive staff. Pre-lunch drinks served in the reception area which was perfect after a long journey. Parents had a great roast beef dinner; cooked to perfection,with gorgeous accompanyments. I had the fish pie which I was sad that I didn't feel hungry enough to finish.The fish pie was packed with whole pieces of great fish and huge prawns.Mash that equalled my Grandma's (from Knaresborough) fish pie topping. This was my first visit to the General; family have eaten and stayed here before.My parents finished with sticky toffee pud and shared it.The first glass of Chardonnay I had was light,the second was creamy.I would have appreciated the advice on the change. The staff were so wonderfully individually different in their approach. It made the sometimes stuffy approach of Derbyshire restaurants/pubs so relaxing.The General Tarleton should be considered as a true local and regional institution.Food, service, atmosphere, everything is perfect.

Delicious 3 course meal last night. Lamb main was cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and very attentive. I’d recommend any dish that comes with the triple-cooked chips!

Visited today with family for lunch, the food was fantastic and reasonably priced. What a gem i am so glad we found it will most definitely return when we are next in the area. The chicken and leek pie was delicious, and the creme brulee was superb. Great place, highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel with lovely rooms. Quality tea, coffee & macarons in the room as well as good quality toiletries in the bathroom. Good powerful over the bath shower & a deep (but slippery) bath. Bed was comfortable (and huge!) Bar area is nicely furnished, staff are attentive without being intrusive. We didnt eat, but the menu and the food looked amazing, and the restaurant was busy. Definitely deserving of its AA 5 star rating. Only downside was there is nothing else in the village at all. Knaresborough is easily accessible by taxi at a cost of around £10.

Spent 1 night here, while travelling north. A beautiful treasure of a hotel in a lovely village ... yet not far from the M1. Receptionist was very helpful and kind. The room was spotless, with great firm mattress on bed. Powerful shower! The breakfast ... what can I say ... brilliant! Coffee perfect, and the meal was fabulous, and arrived hot! Situation ... close to Yorkshire dales and scenic beauty- spots. All in all ... this is a fabulous wee hotel. You should visit it!!

We were on a visit to the Christmas Market in Knaresborough... This is a lovely hote, however l.. we had a meal in the restaurant...very limited choice for a vegetarian! I felt it was quite expensive as you had to pay extra for vegetables and sides .I had Leek and potato Wellington, which was tasty, but that's all that was on the plate!! Upon leaving there had been snow overnight, and a very kind elderly gentleman helped to brush the snow off our car! Which was very much appreciated.

Mine and my partners favourite place. Planning a third visit for his birthday again and I think we will make it a tradition every year to stay over B&B and have the tasting menu. Great food and lovely staff

Really, really lovely small hotel with an excellent restaurant and fabulous staff. Dinner was exceptionally well presented and everything, including freshly baked bread was fantastic. Silvio was very good indeed and the whole place seemed very well run. Breakfast was also a delight.

Absolutely loved it here! The food was sublime. The service was fantastic. Sat in front of a real log fire whilst dining, when it was -5 degrees outside. Beautiful! Looking forward to coming back again, it was that good 😍

Late October 2022 Superb menu and excellent quality food, surpassed only by the service, from a talented, courteous and attentive staff. The food is well recommended. Rooms are well appointed, with proper baths. However, the bedroom walls are not sound insulated and you can hear everything from the next one, especially annoying, if there’s loud snoring going on overnight. Sleep quality therefore not too good.

Visited restaurant for a special treat. The tasting menu was excellent, high quality ingredients beautifully presented with an inventiveness that enhanced the flavours and flavour combinations. The staff were very friendly, helpful, attentive and professional. One of the party had dietary requirements that were accommodated without any issues and the alternative and adapted dishes were as good as it not better than the mainstream. We would definitely go back of we are in the area again.

We booked in at the last minute due to issues at another hotel. It's a gorgeous place. It's in a beautiful rural setting, the rooms are luxurious and comfortable, with every need catered for. The staff were very polite, friendly and efficient. I'd love to stay here again.
