We always looked forward to ending our winter break at knaresborough, a drink & chat in the bar the men who ran it were so friendly them a good meal in the bistro, the new restaurant was cold & impersonal it was trying to be "trendy" if I wanted to go to a trendy place I would book a table in York or Harrogate, even the menu was poor I did manage to get a plain salad , the salmon was not available , I got 6 prawns in place of it. It is not a place you could bring children, the old bistro was cosy & homely. The site & facilities were good as usual I was just very disappointed with meal & the restaurant.
