We felt a bit cheated to be placed here without notice when we had reserved at the Glengarth up the block. The staff was nice and helpful, and put us in a better room when our first one faced the parking lot and back yard. The room (#2) was plain, and the bathroom was very small. But it had a nice view to the yard. Breakfast was the same every day we were there - two eggs, baked beans, toast and coffee. They also had cereal and yogurt available. Avalon is very close to the University of Leeds. The neighborhood itself doesn't have much going on, though there are some shops and restaurants 5-15 minutes walk away. We particularly liked the Corner Cafe Indian restaurant.

Manager was watching us via CCTV for entire stay. Both Manager and Hostess were rude. We are an interracial couple and it seemed they had an issue with the fact my husband is black. Racist. The room was disgusting. There period blood on the bed sheets. A hoover was left in the hallway and pieces of it on the stairs which I tripped over and got no apology. She just attempted to blame the guest next door. Constantly harassed by the staff during the time I stayed. Unable to relax. Woman was argumentative. Tried to say my husband couldn't visit me there and it was in their rules. No such thing in their rules it was merely the fact we an interracial couple and they didn't like it. Husband phoned the Manager and he threatened us with the police if we didn't check out at 10:30am when check out was 11:00am and accused him of staying over when husband said check the CCTV then he hung up the phone. Felt had no choice but to check out early. The rooms are disgusting. The place stinks. I don't think they have ever used air freshner. The bed was rock hard. The radiator was leaking, there was condensation on the windows, ripped wallpaper, carpet was a tripping hazard, water damage on the walls. The breakfast was vile and all microwaved rubbish with a bowl of cheap beans and a rubber egg. The Manager came back upstairs with a sausage on my place, which was random for my husband. My husband refused it as he thought it was odd just 1 sausage on a plate and she said she had just cooked it for him. He took it and was poorly the next day with a bad stomach and believe she poisoned him on purpose. Do not stay in this place. I asked for a refund for the terrible way we were treated and was refused. Manager was sat in the room next door and the hostess lied and said he was in a meeting. No refund was given. Have no regard for customer service whatsoever. Never been treated so badly in anywhere we have stayed. The place is vile. There were even chicken bones all over the floor by the front step. Disgusting, thieving, racists this place!

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.

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.

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!
