Excellent location. The shortest of walks into the town centre and to the castle where you can sit and take in the views of the river and viaduct. Loved all the independent businesses.

N/A

The property was in a great location for the town centre, with lots of facilities and shops near by. Not far from the station either. The actual apartment itself was perfect, had everything we needed and more.

I was concerned that there was no means of escape if a fire started on the below floors. Apart from jumping out or a 3rd floor window. Next to a very noisy pub until quite late.

lack of parking but plenty of nearby car parks at very reasonable rates.

very convenient in the centre of Knaresborough.the accommodation has everything necessary for a short break.bed is comfortable and the shower good.the stairs are steep but the room is worth the climb.

Steep stairs could be difficult for elderly. We are in our seventies and first time up was a bit of a challenge. Minor niggle was the can opener which was difficult to use, suggest take your own if need to open cans of food.

Loved the location and close by parking. Lovely room, nicely decorated and very quiet. Well specified for cooking with microwave, air fryer and worktop oven.

Great place to stay for a weekend visit or short stay. Perfect location for exploring and enjoying Knaresborough.

Shower quite cramped, but I'm only in there for a couple of minutes, so really not a big deal.

Property was great, would definitely recommend. Stairs were a shock (steep & curved) but you soon get used to them. Room is quirky, well appointed & clean. Bottle of Prosecco, whilst not our thing, was a nice touch and more importantly, milk in the fridge! Property is very central, which was great, although I must admit pubs were very busy at nights so keep windows shut (or go enjoy the pub for yourself)! Hosts kept us well informed prior to us getting there which was great.

Nothing of note

Central location with plenty of parking close by. Good spacious room, with plenty of "kitchen" items to self cater. Great communication with host!

Nothing really apart from the lack of toiletries in the bathroom but that was easily rectified by quick shop to the Sainsbury's Local just 2 minutes away from the apartment. We will remember to bring our own next time we stay.

Lovely little top floor apartment right in the centre of Knaresborough close to the market square. We came by train and the train station is under a 10 minute walk away. The apartment was spotlessly clean with plenty of amenities. If we visit Knaresborough again we would definitely stay again at Lilly Pad.

Did advertise toiletries on site but none there. Not a big issue.

Grest location and fantastic fitting out with everything you needed. Nice touch to have a bottle of fizz in the room.

nothing

every thing you need for self catering. a lovely bottle of presecco in the room milk in the fridge and condiments. even had a airfryer with just a couple of minutes walk to the closest tesco and sainsburys for anything else that you need

It's not really a dislike but a hotplate would be helpful if you wanted to fry or boil an egg.We had everything else on hand ie airfryer,microwave,mini oven and all the utensils you need.

This is a gem of a place in an excellent location,it was spotlessly clean.we arrived to a bottle of proseco and even a pint of milk in the fridge.You are right in the centre of town with pubs ,coffee shops and takeaways all within 2-3 walk all the attractions are also in walking distance.York was 30 minutes away and Harrogate took us 10 minutes.We will definitely return again at some point and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for somewhere to stay in Knaresborough.

For us nothing. we do struggle to operate the tv - we cant seem to get anything other than normal tv to work, like you tube or iplayer etc just wont load programs - But i think it might be us doing something wrong and it doesnt spoil our stay.

2nd stay here and hopefully will come again, Lilly Pad is in a great town centre location, close to everything you will need and a short stroll to the train station an also a lovely riverside walk. Great communications with the owners, keys and codes easily accessible, the apartment has everything you will need for a very pleasant stay. There was a small milk included in the fridge which was very much appreciated and a welcome gift which was lovely Thank you. The steps to the apartment are quite narrow and steep so if you have mobility issues maybe its not for you. The bathroom is compact but has everything you need again if you have mobility issues maybe not for you. (has the thickest softest towels i've ever seen ) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. We would recommend this apartment.

Steep and narrow stairs. Shower could be made safer with a hand rail and or storage shelf for shower gel etc as space limited in shower cubicle.

Central location. Easy to find and access. Fully equipped for short stay. Clean and unexpected welcome gift.

The mattress is not the best and needs replacing. The small spiral staircase is very narrow. The shower is tiny.

Has everything we needed for our visit. Great location and excellent being so close to a parking station.

My husband is 6’4”. He had to crouch to get under the shower head and the bed and meant he couldn’t straighten out in bed. Shower is very small cubicle. But we were not disappointed.

Great location. Really central with lots of pubs and restaurants and the castle very near by.

Apartment was in a great location, the only setback if had to pick one was the stairwell to the upper unit could be a problem if you struggle with mobility. I don't particularly but was careful getting up and down the stairs.

Apartment was in the centre of Knarsborough so great access to all amenities in the location. The property was spotless and had all necessities on staying in a self catering facility. My stay was only a couple of nights and ate out and there are great choices in the area to do so. Hosts very helpful both before, during and on exit of apartment. Was gifted a bottle of Prosecco by Julie, which was a lovely and welcoming thought on entry. Recommended as a place to stay if visiting Knarsborough.

Shower cubicle could do with a thorough clean and update. I would have liked a bread board and knife. I saw that someone had cut on the place mats.

I loved the location and the charming character of the property. It was lovely and compact and There was mostly everything you might need. Julie was easy to contact, friendly and helpful.
