An excellent B & B hotel in a very quiet area of Harrogate with local restaurants, shops and theatre no more than 10 minutes walk away.
We stayed for 2 nights (Friday & Saturday) as we were visititng Harrogate for the Spring Flower Show.
We spent Friday visiting National Trust properties - Fountains Abbey & Studley Water Gardens both most enjoyable and well worth the visit.

We arrived at Arden House later afternoon to a very hospitable welcome by Joyce and Beverley. Whilst the hotel does have parking at the rear & side as we arrived in the afternoon we were parked on Franklin Road (right outside the property). This is a zoned parking area, as much of Harrogate is, but it was no problem as Beverley issued us with a parking permit for the duration of our stay.

With restaurants a short walk away it was not necessary for us to take the car so the permit was a welcome bonus, so much so that on Saturday when we visited the Harrogate Show we decided to use the local Taxi service which was very efficient.

Our room was on the top floor, a very clean and comfortable room with plentiful amenities. The quality of furniture and fittings were excellent.

The more than ample breakfasts on both days were served by a very efficient & cheerful waitress and the choice of food on offer was very good.

The lounge was homely and comfortable with TV and Honesty Bar which was well stocked.

Whilst it was good to see the hotel full we did feel that the breakfast room felt quite cramped - The tables and chairs were of very good quality and design but maybe a little too large for the size of the room.

We would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends Arden House is definitely a place we will return to on our next visit to Harrogate.

stopped at the arden for early may bank holiday weekend.arrived earlier than expected and was immediately made welcome and had cooked a full breakfast! after returning later to book in was extremely impressed with the four poster bedroom we had booked. everything about the hotel especially the breakfast was superb.the proprieters were very friendly and helpfull and nothing was to much trouble.we would reccomend anybody visiting harrogate to give the arden a look.

I have stayed here every year for the last 7 years it is a true gem !
I find the accomodation to be warm and friendly. The staff are really helpful and friendly The rooms have been recently refurbished and are clean and bright. ??The Breakfast is really good and sets me up for the day.

An excellent small hotel in a quiet area of Harrogate and just minutes walking distance from the shops and International Centre.

We stayed for four nights on a short break to celebrate our wedding anniversary and booked the four poster room. Joyce and Beverley have an excellent small hotel and arranged champagne and some very good chocolates for us (it was our anniversary!) and together with their staff made our stay very enjoyable - we even managed to dodge the showers!

The ample breakfasts kept us going and although the shops and the International Centre are just minutes away we did have an enjoyable walk through the Valley Gardens and over the hill to the RHS garden at Harlow Carr.

We could not fault the accomodation nor the facilities at the Arden House. Comfortable bed, flat screen tv, a wooden box containing tea, coffee, hot chocolate, horlicks etc and lashings of hot water for the shower.

Franklin Road is a very quiet area and although we didn't take the car public transport in Harrogate is very good.

The Arden House is definitely a place to go back to.
