A well placed accommodation where all your needs and wants had been thought of. Experienced and personable hosts, Karen and Robert, were great. I will definitely be visiting again.

The breakfasts and the hosts were the undisputed highlight!
The room is quite cramped and there is no A/C. Even though it wasn’t very warm weather, the fresh air us limited during to a small window. There is no PowerPoint in one side of the bed. Fortunately, there was an e tension lead that we had to relocate from the kettle. The stairs up to the room were nit a problem for us but could definitely see them being a problem for other people who are less able-bodied.
Location, quality room and comfortable bed, great breakfast and a lovely host. Can walk to major attractions.
Nothing to report.
The room was lovely, and they provided fresh milk in a mini fridge on the landing. Breakfast was wonderful and prepared fresh every morning when we arrived downstairs and not a moment before. We'll definitely be staying again on our next visit to knaresborough.
First class!….menu given, and was totally fulfilled
Nothing!…all v good!
Beautiful room, comfortable bed, clean big shower. Lovely breakfast, friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay
The car parking situation but I know thats not much you can do about it.
Beautifully furnished, clean and friendly, amazing views of the castle from the bedroom window and the location perfect. Breakfast, tea/coffee/condiments in room, bed & bedding, everything overall was absolutely perfect. Owners more than happy to help, approachable and lovely.
There wasn’t any faults with this property.

Karen and the team were just the sweetest!
Nothing at all!
Excellent location. Clean and comfy room. Large and varied breakfast beautifully cooked. Very welcoming and helpful hosts.
Nothing
Hosts were very hospitable and welcoming. Great breakfast. Room very cozy and clean. It's in a great location. Very close to the center lots of pubs, and close walk to attractions. Long stay parking was close by and it's relatively cheap.
Only bad thing can say about the stay is there is no parking (which we was aware of) but there's on the road parking close by. A permit was given but it's only valid for 2 hours at a time.
Comfort and location.
Nothing
Great hosts, immaculate rooms, very comfy beds. Delicious breakfast by an open fire. Could not fault :)
Hospitality was first class, Robert made us feel very welcome. Cleanliness of the room. Quality of the breakfast. Location close to town centre.
Nothing to do with the accommodation but a lot of the pubs in Knaresbrough didn't do food.
Fantastic location, 2 minutes walk to town square, very clean room with really comfy bed and pillows. Every thing catered for with amazing breakfast. Would use again. Highly recommended 👍.
Nothing.
The property was very central - Robert the Host gave us parking places best suited
Nothing it was all delightful 🥰
The breakfast is amazing they thought of everything , and are very obliging to your needs.
Delicious breakfast, comfortable room, helpful staff and great location for the station
Great location. Comfortable bed. Friendly owners. Cozy place. Generous tea station.
Spacious great location
Nothing
The location was marvellous for what we wanted.
We just thought that the table between the beds was too small to have drinks and a book on.
Amazing, warm and friendly Yorkshire welcome at this B&B. I enjoyed a cosy stay. Great nourishing home cooked breakfasts and friendly hosts. The bedroom was immaculately clean, hypoallergenic bedding and perfect location. A stones throw from local coffee shops, bakeries and beautiful views of Knaresborough. Highly recommend. Really appreciated the gluten free treats🙂
Everything. Great hosts. Lovely breakfast. Comfortable bed. Great location.
No negatives
Cosy, welcoming and clean. Welcoming hosts and a well cooked breakfast too. Situated in a lovely town which we hadn’t visited before.
Nothing. Parking wasn’t an issue for us as lots of car parks in the vicinity and the town felt safe.
Location was excellent and very close to the centre. Room was comfortable and the fridge on the landing with complementary water and milk was a nice touch. The breakfast room was very cosy especially with the fire going on a cold morning. The breakfast was hot and well cooked and presented by very friendly staff.
2 minor things 1. Lock on the door handle was temperamental 2. Would have liked a hook on the back of the door for wet coat.

Nothing
Very cosy and clean. The staff were alway’s available and friendly. The breakfast was lovely with locally purchased good’s which were very tasty. All in all a grand stay.
Parking, car park is some distance away and the walk in the rain was a pain.
The location is perfect. The hosts were very friendly. The breakfast was excellent.
The bedroom and en-suite were very clean. Facilities were just as described - toiletries, towels, tea and coffee etc but there were also unexpected "extras" such as chocolate bars and fresh milk for the tea and coffee. Good choice for breakfast and the food was delicious. Well located just off the market square with plenty of pubs/restaurants/cafes close by. Overall a most enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this property.
Just excellent and all locally bought in Knaresborough.
Everything excellent

Perfect location for all things Knaresborough. Excellent breakfast and helpful hosts.
All good.
Proximity to everything. Rooms and attention to detail ie fresh milk, Border biscuits and mini Cadbury’s chocolate bar, mints and complimentary water. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was amazing, 5 choices of cereal and a cooked breakfast to die for. Extra pot of tea and extra toast also provided. So many different choices of toppings for toast which were amazing.
Central location, nice and clean.
Hot water didn’t work meaning tepid showers. Quite expensive.
Breakfast was wonderful and staff were very friendly
Lovely family, made to feel very welcome. Lovely house too. Breakfast was very good. All done to a high standard. Comfortable bed and good shower
The room was a little tight but hey ho, comfortable and clean.
Rooms were good and breakfast 😋
4pm access could be a problem, parking 10 walk in long stay parking.
Great location, spotlessly clean, amazing breakfast and lovely staff.

Lovely hosts, excellent breakfast
Ideally placed in the centre of Knaresborough, we were welcomed warmly. The room was lovely with a generous bathroom attached. Plenty of teabags, coffee and hot chocolate sachets and fresh milk was kept in a small fridge. The chocolate was a nice touch alongside the complementary biscuits. It was very quiet and the breakfast was delicious. We will certainly visit again.
Lovely hosts, excellent breakfast, beautiful garden, comfy bed and pillows, close to the railway station and town centre, we would definitely stay here again.
We didn't realise the room only had a skylight with a view of a brick wall, we would book a better room next time.
Fresh milk and mineral water in a communal fridge on the landing was a nice touch. Room was small but clean and comfortable with little extra bits like snack size dairy milk bars! Breakfast was freshly and perfectly cooked with good choice. The location is excellent just a few steps from the town square. Knaresborough is a lovely picturesque and historic little town and compact - but hilly! Visit the castle grounds which are a public park for views of the river and viaduct. Then go down to the riverside for views up to the castle and river walks. Harrogate is a few minutes away by train and has lovely parks and the pump room museum as well as excellent shopping. And Betty's of course...
The location was great and the breakfast was amazing. Our room was very and tidy and cosy.
Fabulous one night stay had a very warm welcome from Beth and her lovely dog Penny,
Nothing
Ideal close to the train Station and Market Square, Host's were very friendly and the full English breakfast was excellent.
Attention to detail. Food excellent, served fresh and hot. Clean. Little extras and hosts lovely
Had a lovely one night stay. Richard and Karen were very good hosts. Room was nice, with a very comfortable bed. Good facilities, en-suite. Nice touch was the fresh milk in the fridge, just outside the room for tea and coffee, along with a couple of bottles of water. Also had a couple of bars of chocolate on the hospitality tray! Although property is in centre of town it is on a small side road and is very quiet. Parking is nearby, which Richard directs you to and is very reasonably priced. Breakfast was delicious, which you choose the night before (for cooked), so it is prepared fresh. Also choice of cereals, juice, fresh fruit, plus cooked and toast. The breakfast room is overlooking a small courtyard garden with bird feeders. Lovely to see the birds coming down whilst having breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend. Thank you.
Home from home Lovely hosts , superb breakfast , super comfy bed and spotless the location was also great near the restaurants and shops , the courtyard was well cared for and maintained , the birds loved it too 🤗
Excellent location - two minutes from the train station. Friendly helpful hosts.
Nothing.
Location is perfect. Friendly owners. Spotlessly clean. Great breakfast. Couldn't fault any of it.
Sadly no parking at the property but plenty of long stay car parking nearby.
The room was spotless, and the staff was super friendly and attentive! Excellent communication with Karen. Perfect location, especially if you travel by train. Everything was lovely 😊
The location is perfect, Karen is a wonderful host, and her breakfast is delicious .. The rooms are cleaned every day, and all refreshments topped up daily ,including bottled water.
Nothing we didn't like .parking maybe but wasn't an issue, plenty of carparks in the area and well explained by the hosts.
The house was just off the main street but still nice.and quiet. The family were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. Not only did we have a large English breakfast there was additional toast and cereal if you wanted. One of the best B and B's Ive stayed in for comfort and location. In the room there were additional cookies and chocolate bars for us each and hot chocolate not just the usual tea.and coffee. In the fridge on the landing we had additional milk and water stored for our room.
There was nothing I didn't like
The breakfast experience was lovely and filled with traditional decor and friendly staff who served us with wonderful food.
I don’t have any negative comments.
Liked everything..superb..Will be back..also telling my family about this brilliant find..
Excellent location. Superb breakfast. Delightful helpful and kind host
Would have liked more fresh air. Only tiny open window
Location is great , lovely breakfast
Creeky floorboards, but the building is old.
Fab stay, beautiful place, breakfast was superb, especially the local sausages they used. Absolutely would come again and def recommend
Nothing
Peaceful room over the garden. No noise from other guests. Ability to open windows. Ability to leave luggage safe after checkout.
Nice touches and great location and welcoming hosts
Nothing
The host was very friendly and proximity to the train station was fantastic. It was also close to the village. I am not a breakfast person but, if you are, they offered beautifully fresh cooked breakfasts included in the room rate. I also found the bed really comfy and I appreciated the coffee, hot chocolate, squash, cookies and chocolate in the room.
I found the shower temperamental - difficult to set and maintain a temperature.
Sparkling clean property with very kind owners Karen and Robert. The breasfast they serve are delicious.
Nothing
The staff was welcoming and very considerate of the client. They do their best to ensure the client's comfort. I love their dog, which is so friendly and lovely. It's quite a place and provides a peaceful rest.
Very nice place and the hosts were awesome.
Very cute! Top location. Awesome breakfast. Immaculately clean. Wonderful hosts.
The only suggestion of improvement was we felt the bed mattress was too soft/too much give resulting in waking up 'achey'.
The Kirkgate was a lovely place to stay, they thought of everything, the room was comfy and very clean.The owners were very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure you had a perfect stay. The breakfast was amazing and hot, lots of choice too. We would definitely stay there again, it is in a great location for all the local sightseeing.
The location is very convenient for the town. The food was excellent- a good choice and well prepared. Everyone was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive.
The main light in the bedroom could have been brighter- for those times when you need to see something clearly, like medication instructions. It would have been nice to have a choice of duvet weight, though this isn’t something I’ve ever encountered. I’m always too hot.
What a wonderful stay we had. Excellent location and breakfast was out of this world. Karen and her husband go the extra mile to make everything perfect. Will definitely return.
We had a lovey stay. Well looked after by the host. Robin in the morning during breakfast made it a perfect stay!
Lovely guesthouse, great location. Karen and Richard are fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome. The rooms were lovely and the breakfast was superb.
Nothing
Good location , clean rooms especially the little touches , breakfast was excellent
Parking but wasn’t a problem really
Our hosts were lovely. Check in was easy. Parking was inexpensive and nearby. Breakfast was fantastic. The town is beautiful.
Nice place, clean and lovely people. Great breakfast.
Weather was against us as it was very wet and windy, the rain pounding the velux window made for a poor nights sleep
