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.

An excellent all-round destination

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...

A Short Stay

Very welcoming and comfortable abode. Location is perfect for town centre. Car park is close by but you have to pay for that so bring change for the meter. The cooked breakfast is a must..... well recommended.

A little gem

A delightful place to stay where every detail was thought of by the owner to make our stay comfortable. The room was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were near the market square with lots of individual shops and coffee shops.

Had a lovely stay. Great guest house I would visit again. Owner very welcoming and helpful to point me in the right direction to tourist attractions and shops. Room very clean and quiet. They think of everything; toiletries, in the room such as tea/coffee/biscuit, little fridge outside the room with milk and bottled water, and own private entrance. Amazing breakfast and coffee. They were happy to let me leave my luggage before check in and same offered at check out time so I could explore without the hassle of taking my case. Highly recommend

A lovely short stay at Kirkgate House. Karen was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. Everything was very clean and the room was lovely, although it is a bit of a strange entrance to the rooms through the garage! Only slight downside is the water pressure, which means the shower isn't great!

The B&B is placed right in the town, parking is a little way so if you had a larger bag you would have to drop off first, but very cheap. The host was nice and welcoming, the room was very clean with a good drinks offer. The room was very warm intact to warm.. the shower was very slow but lots of hot water. Chooses of places to eat great with a mix of food, we went to a curry house and was very impressed $$ cost. Lots of cheaper in area. Overall I’m not sure about the price a little high, but you’re paying for the area.

Wonderful little gem, found by chance but most definitely worth it! Excellently located probably a couple of minutes walk from the town centre with all the bars and restaurants but yet on a quiet street. No parking but we have been advised where to park really economical and max 10 min slow walk! The property is clean, plenty of tea / coffee / orange cordial / biscuits on the drinks tray, nice sizable shower cabin. Cannot put this review without mentioning the fabulous quality of the breakfast, personally I really enjoyed the sausages, they were something else, very likely sourced at s local butcher rather than being supermarket bought! And the quality of the eggs was amazing, too! You will receive a sheet where you can tick what you want for next morning breakfast and what time you rather have it! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!

Robert greeted us at the door and was friendly. The room we were shown to was perfect, bed was comfortable and amenities clean and tidy. The location of Kirkgate House was great, in the middle of the town with bars and restaurants within a couple minutes walk. Would recommend and if we visit Knaresborough again, definitely would stay.
