I'm so-so with Rudding Park too - it's on the outskirts of Harrogate which as I mentioned earlier isn't in the Dales or Moors and is a busy Spa and Conference town. We last went to Rudding Park about 2 years ago and I don't intend to return in a hurry.
The countryside surrounding is very pleasant but not a patch on the scenic beauty of the Dales.
I'm slightly confused now as to what sort of accommodation you are looking for? My earlier recommendations were all for rural spots - and Rudding Park certainly isn't that.

There is no accounting for reviews is there, such as those about the Yorke-Arms being "snobbish."
No worries, Morgana, I know where the hotels are located; that's why I'm renting a car.

I've never found them snobbish either, in fact just the opposite. It's the place our family go to for special occasions (birthdays, graduation etc) and even if it is a longish time between visits they treat me like an old friend. I love it there.
It's also absolutely beautiful, in a tiny hamlet with views (and walks) in all directions literally from the door.

Dukey -- where have you read reviews?
For instance on TA the ratings are superb.
Traveler rating:
Excellent 234
Very good 85
Average 20
Poor 13
Terrible 13
And only three of the bad ones are w/i the last two years.
The VAST majority are amazing.
