A great welcome awaits you when you choose to stay at this hotel. All the staff from the reception to the maintenance staff are friendly and cheerful. This is a family run hotel and although the reception is not 24/7 it is very easy to contact a member of staff. The room we stayed in was huge and clean. The... More

I stayed at the Highfield whilst working through the night in Bradford. The rooms are enormous clean and comfortable. As I was sleeping through the day I was given a room to the rear of the hotel which was quiet and I was undisturbed. There was breakfast available to me when I woke which was a bonus. The staff were... More

I was a little scepital turning up at this hotel having read the reviews below but I think they were overly harsh. The rooms are lovely, very big and comfortable with ensuite. Would suit people traveling as three singles or couple & child. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. Very good value too. The breakfast is a buffet style with... More

Dear Nanells, We were really disappointed to read the comments in your review. We closed the pool for some routine maintenance (a small teething problem we wanted to get fixed) and it was only in fact closed for three days. We were disappointed ourselves to have to close the pool at all but we want to make sure everything is... More
