This is a very special place. The house has an amazing location and is beautifully decorated with an amazing view over the river onto a bridge on one side and a castle on the other. It offers a very cosy living room, a dining room, a conservatory and a large terrace. Our room was the top room with the splendid... more

As a Solo traveller, this was more expensive accommodation than I would normally choose but I had decided I needed a treat and what a treat it was from the first moment you step through the door. The house is beautifully decorated but in a style that is comfortable and cosy. The view from my room on the top floor... more

Have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Gallon House. Everything was really lovely, setting rooms, food but most of all Sue and Rick who couldn't do enough to make our stay a good one. The added bonus of the location was that once we arrived we did not have to use our car as it was so easy to... more

We and our dog, Molly, enjoyed two fabulous nights at Gallon House. It exceeded all expectations. Rick and Sue are delightful hosts giving wonderful service "above and beyond". All visitors should enjoy Ricks wonderful cooking with delicious dinners and good wine list. Everything was done with the maximum of perfection and the minimum of fuss. We can't wait to go... more

Everything about our stay was delightful and our only disappointment was that it was not longer. The house is wonderfully designed and decorated inside (we spent a daft amount of the time... more

First, I have read the other reviews and agree with them completely. This is the second time I have stayed at Gallon House and I gladly pay the little extra it costs to stay here. A few things the other reviews did not mention, that are worth considering, are these. Rich and Sue have a lovely Welsh Spanial named Lucy,... more

Definitely the best B&B I've ever stayed at! It was a little more expensive than my normal accommodation choices, but was well and truly worth every penny. The owners, Rick and Sue, have perfected the art of being around when needed, chatting cheerfully at breakfast and greeting guests on arrival - without hovering unnecessarily. The house itself is beautifully decorated... more

A small three bedroom guest house that leaves a big impression. Try for one of two rooms over looking the gorge, fabulous views of the river. Towels and bath robes provided, TV and even an alarm clock if needed. At breakfast you can't do better than the full yorkshire breakfast with home made black pudding with apricots, just sensational. There... more

" One of life's joys is the discovery, the unearthing, of an unexpected, unheralded gem. Gallon House is tucked away on one of Knaresborough's countless quaint, little streets - its true beauty is not revealed until you enter the front door. This is a classy place - fabulous decor, luxurious fittings...everything is quality....and then there's the views down the valley/gorge...magnificent.... more
