I spend a tremendous amount of time traveling and have stayed in numerous four and five star hotels. For atmosphere and hospitality, the April House is on the top of my list. The room was very comfortable and cozy. The price was fair, the relaxed atmosphere great, and breakfast was delicious every single day! I will stay again any time I am in the Harrogate area.

April House was a “by chance” find for me a few years ago when looking for somewhere to stay while attending the Harrogate International Conference Centre (HICC) - & what a find it was. I’ve been back each year since - not just for work, but for a family breaks as well. Something I rarely do is make recommendations to friends and colleagues etc, as my opinion of good may not be another’s opinion – but with April House I made an exception & all (6) that have been there have been very pleased with their stay.

David and Ruth’s home offer’s wonderful Yorkshire hospitality complimented by the Victorian character of April House in a quiet leafy road just a few minutes walk from the HICC and town. Their rooms and facilities are spacious, spotless, well furnished with a nice homely atmosphere.

The breakfast – well, you name it and its there, good quality and plentiful.

Parking – ample roadside parking (just ask David or Ruth for a permit)

As for me, I (along with my colleagues) will be booking up with David and Ruth for at least one visit next year.

We have just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay in Harrogate.
Ruth and David (owners of April House) couldn't do enough for us. As soon as we arrived we felt at home. The furnishings and accommodation were 1st Class and then some!!What can I say about the breakfasts, the choice and quality was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble and Davids sense of humour made our holiday.Ruth runs a very tigth ship as the house is absolutely spotless. The little touches i.e. 'real china' ,every type of fresh fruit at breakfast, good selection of reading material, lots of tourist information (paper and verbal) readily available, just added to a wonderful stay. One last tip, when booking a break in Harrogate, don't go for the large chain hotels,go for April House where you will receive a far more personal service
Parking was absolutely no problem. What a wonderful system the disc system is! This was our 1st visit to April House and most certainly will not be our last.

The whole house is spotless. Parking was easy and convenient. Owners were really nice people and very helpful. Convenient location. Nothing but praise - and believe me, I can moan for England given the chance.
