Fabulous overnight stay. I met a friend for a pre Christmas treat, the staff helped me to surprise my friend and not give the game away that i had paid foe the stay, they helped me keep the cover story that i had used a free stay from hotels.com
Have stayed at the cairn many times it is a great location and staff are always amazing.

Superb location for visit to Harrogate
My friends and I had a reunion in Harrogate this weekend and 4 of us stayed at the Cairn Hotel for two nights from 14 March. Three of us shared a family room and were really impressed by the size of the room; free wifi was also a bonus!
It is a beautiful rather grand looking property with lots of open space to sit and chat, enjoy drinks, bar snacks and generally unwind. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. We all slept well and we all enjoyed the fantastic breakfasts! The staff were all very friendly, helpful and very proactive.
The hotel offers plenty of parking which was really useful. It is also only a short walk from the centre of town and we enjoyed being able to walk to all the attractions, shops and restaurants that we wanted to visit. Having seen some of the bar snack food one evening we did wish we'd tried the food in the hotel beyond breakfast!
We had a fabulous time and would love to return! Thank you to all at the Cairn Hotel for making our stay such a pleasant and enjoyable one.

Humming pipes
The single room was adequate but the humming noise during the night was constant. (Old pipe work I assume). Could not sleep. At 1.40 am had to go to reception and ask for another room. This was swiftly done. Cooler room with no noisy humming pipes.
