Nothing. It was a perfect stay

Karen and Robert are fantastic hosts. We really enjoyed chatting with them and staying in their gorgeous BNB. It is well located in the centre of pretty Knaresborough and very close to the train station to access York or other areas in the lovely Yorkshire county. Knaresborough is a very pretty town with lots of interesting walks, cafes, restaurants, gourmet bakeries and pie shops, gift and artisan shops and historic points of interest including the magnificent bridge. The room was clean, comfortable, very quiet and overlooking a beautiful cottage garden courtyard. All the necessary amenities were provided and we loved the amazing full personalised English hot breakfasts. I enjoyed trying some items Australians are unfamiliar with- smoked haddock and black pudding. My husband loved his omelette, Yorkshire sausages, bacon, and all the trimmings. After a day out sightseeing we looked forward to coming back to our relaxing room for a cup of Yorkshire tea and the treats Karen left out for us. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

I can't think of a negative comment, we were expecting a small double to be tiny but the room was far from it, spacious in fact.

The whole experience was great, the little touches like milk and water in the fridge and the breakfast was delicious, we'll definitely be staying there again.

Karen and Rob were so friendly, accommodating and helpful! They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more than they provided.

Nothing really, the parking was offsite, a short walk away, but only £1.90 per 24 hours.

Excellent location, right in the town centre.Very comfortable, superb breakfast. The owners were very nice and friendly. Lovely room, and en-suite.

Welcoming, friendly host, they even let us check in early. There was a shared fridge with water provided which was ideal, given the humid weather. Robert brought us a fan for our room, as it was a hot day. Lovely hot breakfast, pre ordered the night before for a set time, plenty of choice, and quality produce. You could leave luggage, in store,on your departure day. Room decor lovely, exceptionally clean, with everything you require, attractive outside gardens area to enjoy too. Close to railway station, only a few minutes walk. Hosts couldn't do enough for us.Perfect in every way!

It was impeccably clean and the breakfast was amazing. The best and most special part, though, was that the owners Robert and Karen were so nice and really seemed to enjoy themselves! They were there every morning making the breakfast (including eggs from their son’s hens) and asking what we had on for the day. They were the Best! We had such nice stay.

There isn't anything to criticise. Some may find lack of parking an issue but the car park we used was only a short walk away and cost only £1.90 for 24 hours. The patron gave us an invaluable tip and suggested we buy multiple tickets on the same day if staying for more than one day as this shows intent.

Superb location. Town at one end of the street and railway station and two great pubs at the other. Very welcoming patrons. Lovely clean room. Guests were provided with a variety of teas, coffee, hot chocolate, Robinson juice, biscuits, chocolates, fresh milk. The breakfasts provided by Karen were first rate and her husband was very attentive. I can highly recommend the smoked fish with a poached egg.

The communication with the hosts who were so welcoming and helpful was clear prior and throughout our stay. The location was superb so we were easily able to get everywhere we needed to. And you can see Knaesborough Castle from the windows of the Kirkgate house!! Every bit of attentions has been put in to the lay out of the rooms, especially the selection of teas and biscuits. The room was very clean and so beautifully designed, a truly relaxing atmosphere. We had a very comfortable sleep and a super breakfast the next morning. Meeting local pooch was a true pleasure too, she gave us plenty of tail wags before we had to leave, which we were so gutted to having to do! We would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area or near by and when we will be revisiting we will only be staying at Kirkgate house.

There wasn't much we didn't like and feel it would be nit picking to say so. .

Kirkgate house was in a good location. Robin was a good host, but we never saw Karen. It's in an excellent location and ideal for everywhere in Knaresborough. Good choice for breakfast and very good drinks and snack tray in bedroom. All in all we had a good break.

This place is a gem, friendly people, super clean, quiet & comfy - & all minutes from Knaresborough railway station on the York to Harrogate line. Excellent value, delicious home cooked breakfasts (& catered for g/f & d/f..) - & a gorgeous sunny courtyard garden full of flowers & birds: brilliant! Beautiful spacious rooms at back overlooking garden, plus others onto street (but it's not busy). Knaresborough is a fascinating place full of history & quirkiness, just 20 minutes on train to York. LOTS of pubs, cafes, restaurants & independent shops, a delight!

There was nothing not to like. It is worth noting, however, that there is no parking facility. We were advised of this before booking. As promised, we were given the various options for parking in nearby car parks. This worked well for us, and the charges were modest.

We received a warm welcome when we arrived, and taken to our room. It was beautifully appointed, stylish and accommodating. It was almost like being in a private house. There was a generous supply of tea/coffee/biscuits. The ensuite facilities were excellent. The beds were comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent also, with good quality food well prepared.
