Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lots of things to like
Negative: Extractor fan in bathroom, not working made the room feel damp. I always like breakfast food served on a warm plate. There’s nothing worse than a fried egg on a cold plate just something for them to think about
Summary: Overall, it was a good experience, handy having the Indian downstairs

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Staff were very friendly Very dog friendly provided a doggy breakfast Loved the eclectic feel to the place Short walk to city centre The room had a good comfy bed Shower and bath shower Overall clean and tidy There were a few niggles but nothing that would put us off staying again if we were visiting the area again.
Negative: The attic room was long but the roof pitch made it an awkward shape. Tall people would struggle with height Plug sockets were in an awkward place Towels were looking old and tatty. could do with bath sheets and bigger hand towels Decor in room could do with a bit of a touch up. Pillows terrible very hard and uncomfortable, but we do realise that this could just be us others may find them ok. Our opinion is subjective.
Summary: Stay at Farnley Tower
