The street is full of lovely houses and most importantly right next to 'The Ridge', a lovely woodland area perfect for dog walking, a jog, or a just a picturesque breath of fresh air. The building used to be the home of a local mill owner and was converted into a hotel 'quite some time ago'. After the new owners spent some time refurbishing it The English Tourist Board updated it's star rating from 3* to 4*. From having a quick look round it's not my exact type of taste, however, I do think it looks incredibly comfortable and would be much to the taste of many looking for a quiet spot to stay in whilst they visit Leeds. Maybe parents visiting for their offspring's graduation or something like that.

The décor leaves so much to be desired it is untrue, sometimes inconspicuous the ugly, obscure nature of some things smack you round the face like a right hook from a heavy-weight. Rooms and communal areas are clean and tidy, the reception is someone's office where you feel you are about to be told off by a headmistress. Breakfast is good and the staff friendly if a little inefficient. Be aware, turning into this hotel may result in taking a chunk of your car out and leaving on the brick work of the entrance gate.

It would be wrong of this review to give the only five star hotel in Leeds anything less than five…read morestars - but it definitely earns them. This place really is just classy. Set in a refurbished manor house from the eighteenth century, it is now a popular place for weekend breaks due to it's tranquil location, stunning surroundings and private golf course. It is also a favourite venue for conferences and weddings, amongst other special occasions. I recently went to a relative's wedding reception here and I was stunned by just how luxurious and elegant everything about Oulton Hall is. The decor is traditional yet has a contemporary twist, while the service is professional. The food and drink itself would not have been out of place in a Michelin starred restaurant, while the function room later served to be an excellent dancefloor. As for the hotel itself, I stayed just one night, but that was enough to make me want to go back. The rooms are furnished classically and come with everything you'd expect from a five-star establishment - television, en-suite bathroom, breaktaking view - and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. There is, of course, an excellent swimming pool and spa facilities, as well as an upmarket restaurant and bar on the ground floor. I would recommend Oulton Hall to anyone who wishes to have a weekend away without leaving Leeds - the only drawback, as you'd expect from a five-star hotel, are the prices.

Third time here and we loved this stay just as much as the other two…read more The grounds are so nice (as are the cream teas), that when the weather is good you can easily spend all day here. Breakfast is always one of the highlights. Great selection and top quality food on offer; the temptation is always to try and turn it Into an eating competition. You get free use of the gym and pool, both of which are very small, but well equipped. They were never busy during the day when we used them, but I can imagine they are pretty cramped at peak times. Prices for additional food and drink are not cheap, but there are some great places to eat nearby, if you want to keep the costs down. Only ever had one problem with our room and the staff offered to switch us to another one immediately. It looks like the rooms have recently been refurbished; ours was a nice grey theme, with new HD TV. In general, the staff can't do enough to help either and always say hello when passing them in the corridors. Speaking of which, the carpets in the corridors are now starting to look shabby, with duck-tape covering various tears and splits right along the first floor - not a great first impression for a five star hotel. We have never had a problem with rowdy guests, or noisy kids during our stay, making them all the more relaxing. This place seems to attract professional people rather than large families or groups of teens; just as long as you don't mind a group of office-workers doing team building tasks in the grounds. While you feel like you are in the countryside, The location of the hotel is very close to major motorways, giving you loads of choice for day-trips, like shopping in Leeds or Wigan, or a great selection of National Trust venues and public houses. We have never done the same thing twice!
