The Mitre

What a charming Hotel /​Pub. It is located across from the train station so parking is at a premium. With that negative bit out of the way, the accommodations were bright, clean and comfortable. The trains stop running early, so a good nights sleep is not a problem.
They have a nice selection of real ales and it was a treat to sample a few. We had a nice evening meal with lots of good choices. Everyone in my group found something that they enjoyed. The pub area is clean and well appointed, and had a good turnout of regulars and visitors.
The included breakfast was remarkable with lots of choices on the menu. The staff was accommodating, and it was fun chatting with our server who filled us in on all the sights to see as well as a few local stories.
This is our second time staying here, the last being 4 years ago. It is every bit as good as our last visit.
We would not hesitate staying here again.

The Mitre is a cracking pub in Knaresborough — just 30 secs walk from the train station and perfect for a pint on a sunny day or just if you have a few mins to spare before jumping on the locomotive. Owned by Okells on the IOM (I’m not biased in this review given that I’m from the Isle of man…) they stock some Manx beers as well as a good range of quality local breweries.
Being based in the wonderfully beer rich North Yorks, there’s usually Roosters on tap, Ilkley gets a look in and they’re also pretty good on the imported ales from Europe and the States (lots of bottles too) — Okells MPA wins for me though with it being super tasty and only 3.6% (perfect for afternoon boozing without getting too destroyed…)
We had a small amount of food last time we were in — a nice sharing platter of olives, breads, dips etc — plus a portion of chips — perfect for a nice tasty snack in the afternoon!
A great pub — worth checking out.
*extra tip — it’s a hotel so they have a breakfast room downstairs but you can hire this out for private functions, I imagine it takes around 50*

This is a really nice, clean pub. Can’t speak to the food but the beer selection is good. 8 pull tab «real ales» to choose from is what drew us in and We were not disappointed.
