The bed was super comfy, shower was great and the hosts were lovely and friendly. The room was located on the top floor and was really quiet and the house itself is in a great location. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

    The apartment looked like it had been recently decorated and was very clean. The bathroom was great, lovely shower. It’s a really great central location for Knaresborough with gorgeous windows over looking the town. Had everything we needed in the kitchen and a thoughtful basket of goodies was left us.

    Beautiful apartment with everything we needed. Interior design of the apartment is fantastic and being able to sit with the bifold doors open onto the decking area was great with weather not being quite warm enough to sit outside.

    A beautiful hotel in a stunning location. The grounds are wonderful, the rooms exquisite and the whole experience is one of luxury and class. Highly recommended. The kitchen doesn't open for dinner on a Monday and Tuesday which is when we were there, which shouldn't be a problem as there is a brilliant pub a 5 minute walk up the road and had great beers and lovely food; just be aware that it stops serving food at 8 pm.

    Perfect central Castlegate location ideal for stay. We were in room 2 which had spacious rooms, comfortable king size bed, good Wi-fi connection and beautifully designed contemporary bathroom. Really liked that there was a separate shower and gorgeous deep bath. Also had added benefit of access to communal kitchen. Great value for money and we will definitely be returning.
