When I got to the The Balmoral hotel I decided that I needed to stay in Harrogate for a long time.

The Balmoral Superior Room

It took a lot of effort to leave this room for dinner (and even more effort to climb out of bed for breakfast the next morning). But because I did venture out with my colleagues, I got to enjoy some of Harrogate’s charm. Chinese restaurant in a bath house?! Why not?

A pint of local ale at Hales Bar, the oldest pub in Harrogate? Yes, indeed.

A short pause at Bettys Tea Room… Maybe next time.

We had a lovely dinner at Le Jardin. The food and the staff were absolutely lovely. It couldn’t have been better.

I also found Harrogate’s sense of humor.

Unfortunately, there was no time for the spa. Don’t worry Harrogate, I’m coming back for you.
