“Lovely Weekend Break”

April House

12 Dec 2007
6/6 found this review helpful

I stayed here last Saturday night on a weekend Xmas break with my husband and our friends. We go away together quite often but it was our first visit to Harrogate - and our first time in a B & B rather than a big hotel chain - more about that later.

The check in was fine and we were issued with a parking permit so were able to park the car in the street directly in front of the hotel. Our room was a lovely corner room with nice high ceilings and sash windows. The bathroom was on the small side and my husband struggled a bit in the shower cubicle as he is a 6'2" big bloke. The bed was huge and the room had everything that is important to us: spotlessly clean, nice fluffy towels, tissues, tea and coffee making facilities, bottled water, 2 heaters, hairdryer etc.

It is about a 5-10 minute walk into the town centre and I must say we have never seen so many different restaurants down one street. You really are spoilt for choice in Harrogate.

The thing we found hard to get used to was that the owners came into the room while we were out and did things like turn the heater off and shut the curtains. We found this a bit odd but it might be the norm in B & B as we are used to the big hotel chains and must confess we do things like leave the tv on etc when we go out. I also found the having to be quiet when coming in on a night different but on the whole I would say I liked it better than the last few chain hotels we have been to.

The breakfast was lovely and David found a specific yoghurt for my faddy friend!

All in all I would say all four of us thouroughly enjoyed our weekend and would definately stay here again.

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 – a real little gem in Harrogate”

April House

5 Nov 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

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.
