Village Hotel Leeds North
Ian Jones, Food and Drink Editor
Village Hotel Leeds North is about five miles from Leeds City Centre, in the pleasant suburb of Headingley, just off the A6120, an ideal base camp for guests in search of the great food, drink and culture to be found in Leeds, Yorkshire’s largest city. There’s parking on-site, or it’s twenty minutes by bus, with buses every seven minutes.
As you’d expect from this major chain, the Leeds North branch is a high-tech hotel, with a two-minute touch screen check-in system, keyless room entry, and app-based room service. And of course, there’s high quality wi-fi in all rooms. You’ll also notice premium bedding, and stylish contemporary fittings as standard – a lot of hardwood desks and calming stripey wallpaper.
The Village features an onsite Pub & Grill, serving reliable classic food – fish and chips, sausage and mash, and the like – as well as some extra special inhouse burgers and premium roast dinners. Whilst you’re enjoying all that, you can catch sporting events on seventy-inch television screens.
There’s also a gymnasium featuring weightlifting and running machines. You can also download workout schemes and instructions using the Village Gyms app. One of the main draws for families is the huge swimming pool, giving parents who want to relax somewhere to put the kids for a few hours. Of course, these facilities also make the hotel ideal for couples on a getaway or for business-people looking for corporate hospitality – there are of course well-appointed and discrete meeting and conference rooms.
If you’re a cricket fan or married to one, the hotel is just a short walk from Headingley Carnegie cricket stadium. You’ll also find the Beckett Park campus of Leeds Beckett University nearby, making the Village Hotel Leeds North popular for parents visiting students. You’re also within hiking distance of the picturesque Eccup Reservoir and Kirkstall Abbey.
