Though very handy for the airport, the Britannia Hotel is set in 3 acres of immaculate landscaped grounds, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area and the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. It houses 160 well-appointed, spacious guestrooms, spread over 5 floors. All rooms are equipped with hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, television and en-suite bathroom. Food and drink are available in the stylish and contemporary restaurant, which is open throughout the day, offering succulent carvery dishes. There’s also a tastefully furnished bar, where guests can relax and enjoy a pre-dinner drink.

Before or after a flight, the hotel’s Spindles Health & Leisure Club is the perfect place to tone up/chill out, with its heated indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna, solarium, spa bath and sun terrace (available to guests for a small additional charge.)
