Higher Trapp Hotel

4 of us booked the all-inclusive hotvtub deal. Promptly booked in, rooms were fine, clean, plenty of brew making kit, excellent shower too. We had a slot booked in the hit tub. We went down in good time, nobody had the slot before or after us. We were given towels & dressing gowns, a young lady also brought us a complimentary glass of Prosecco. She explained how things worked and was very friendly and helpful. Hot tub. Was nice and warm, spotlessly clean. Our evening meal was booked for 7pm, we went to the bar at 6pm as we were on all inclusive drinks from 6-11pm. Local bitter was tiptop then had a lovely Shiraz with our meal. Starting with pate then onto cheese & onion pie, food was delicious, service prompt and friendly. Moved into the cosy lounge finished with a couple of g & t's Slept well in a comfy bed. Breakfast was very good . Cereals & fruit juices followed by a quality full English. Unlimited brews & toast too. Again staff were helpful and friendly. Thanks to all the staff at Higher Trapp, they were all so nice, we have already booked our next visit. Cheers x

This Hotel is situated in a very beautiful part of the Country, with easy access to Clitheroe, Skipton, and Settle. The grounds and building itself are very charming and well kept, I have seen comments saying that the inside of the Hotel is tired - I understand what they mean, but it matches the character of the building itself, which adds to its charm, plus it is kept very clean. The deals, I think give amazing value for money, OK not a Michelin Star menu, but then you are not paying their prices. We thought the menu offered a good selection, and what we ordered was faultless. The chef makes a perfect pouched egg every morning at breakfast, we have been twice now, and each time they are spot on. There is one thing about this Hotel that really stands out, and that is the staff. Sooooo pleasant, all with genuine smiles on their faces, eager to help and please, which is actually quite rare, and that was everyone from the Manager to the cleaners, who all seemed to be enjoying their work. However, the one that really stood out to us definitely lives up to her name ‘Angel’. She was very professional coping well under the pressure of a busy service, with great knowledge of the menu. She gave me a perfect description of what the soup of the day tasted like, which was very helpful. She is really pleasant, and even though she was busy, made time for a chat and a little banter with us. Looking forward to a return visit soon. Thank You.

On arrival we were impressed by the building. The reception was polite and helpful, the receptionist showed us to the lounge and bar area prior to us going to our room which was in a separate building. It had it's own parking area and was very pleasant, our room was quite spacious and comfortable. The afternoon cream tea was pretty good and the evening meal was also well cooked and plentiful.Angel, the waitress, and bar person was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and she was extremely pleasant and helpful. the breakfast was also very good and varied. we would definitely use this hotel again.

We recently had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at the Higher Trapp Hotel, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. From the very beginning of planning to the final dance of the night, everything was more than we could have ever dreamed of. A very special mention must go to Megan, who has been by our side throughout the entire process for the past year and a half. Megan is truly one of the kindest, most genuine people we have ever met — her support, patience, and care have meant the world to us. She even came in on her day off just to make sure everything ran smoothly, which speaks volumes about her dedication. Megan, you made our day pure magic, and we will always be grateful for you. We would also like to say a huge thank you to Sheila, who ran the day itself flawlessly. Sheila just seemed to know exactly what we needed, when we needed it, without us even having to ask. She couldn’t have done more for us, and her calming presence and expertise helped make the whole day feel completely effortless and relaxed. In the evening, we were so well looked after by Jamie, who somehow managed to keep everything (and everyone!) perfectly happy and on track, despite a room full of very merry guests! Jamie, you were brilliant and we can’t thank you enough for making sure the evening went off without a hitch. A special thank you also goes to Mia, who painstakingly stuck every single photo booth picture into our guestbook to make sure we had all those precious memories captured — such a small detail but one that means the world to us. And last, but by no means least, Georgia — every time we saw you throughout this journey, you were the loveliest, warmest person. Your kindness and positivity have been such a joy and made every meeting and visit feel so special. The decor, the setting, the food, the atmosphere — it was all absolutely incredible, but it’s truly the amazing team at Higher Trapp Hotel who made our wedding the best day of our lives. We will forever be grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️

Sadly after many visits over the years this is our last. Positive points are. Lovely reception staff Clean room Good food even though pie was a frozen pie not what you expect in hotel. Negative points are. On booking we requested not to stay in the annex. On arrival we was booked in the annex. We had to pay extra to stay in hotel. Only two tables outside available for the whole hotel due to a function. Was a beautiful day lots of people wanted to sit outside no one from function was using the tables in the sealed off area. Food was good but warmed up frozen food. Alcohol was the biggest disappointment. The spirits were very very watered down so much so that you could drink them neat. Due to this we will not be returning

Overall Average, which means some things very good and some less good. First, the positives. Millie on reception was excellent, she has a very friendly and welcoming manner, she is cheerful and professional. These old hotels must take an enormous amount of cleaning and maintenance and Higher Trapp was very clean and well maintained. Our room was comfortable and warm with a good tv and strong Wi-Fi. Service in the restaurant was quick, we enjoyed afternoon tea and the full English breakfast was tasty although it could have been warmer; a fresh fruit salad would have been welcome. On a Travelzoo deal our stay was good value for money. Now the less positives. Our room was in the annexe which meant walking across the car park, down a steep slope and then upstairs, not great for someone waiting for a new knee. Our dinners were disappointing; the sweet potato and red pepper soup was very salty and I should know better than to expect hotel sausages to be good, even Cumberland sausages. I imagine that the “Crispy Haddock Goujons” had been cooked earlier, chilled and re heated in an oven - they were pale and limp. I don’t need the “Will you taste the wine” routine, but it would have been good if the waiter had at least taken the screw cap off our very ordinary £29 bottle. We enjoyed our short stay but not enough to want to return.
