    Lovely relaxing holiday

    The only thing was there was no independent heater as in the evening if it had been raining a little heater could have been good to sit in front of it.

    The cottage was ideally situated for the centre of town . The garden was lovely and peaceful to sit and read a book and also have friends round for lunch and a chat. It was cosy on an evening to sit and read or watch TV. It was very relaxing .

    A lovely base for a spring break and a property I could recommend.

    The only improvement would be if the kitchen area was slightly larger but the space had been thoughtfully utilised and the full cooker was a bonus.

    The cottage was comfy, cosy and easy to heat (in a rather chilly March). The owners were very close should anything go wrong but they weren't intrusive. It was very central in Knaresborough but quiet and secluded. It was also well-lit when returning at night in the dark.

    Very comfortable, great location, nice hosts but no washing machine was a problem

    A washing machine as advertised. This was the main drawback.

    The cottage was small but very comfortable. However in the advert it said it had a washing machine, a DVD player, a CD player and a desk. It had none of these things. I think the advert should be changed immediately as this is false advertising.

    Parking not on site, but very easy to park at York Place a 10 minute walk away. £1.60 for 24 hours, we would walk down after dinner and put another 24 hours on

    A lovely cottage, small but with everything you need. Spotlessly clean and lovely hosts

    Only negative is the car parking......long stay is 10-15 minutes walk away and you have to top up each day as 24 hrs is the maximum stay period.

    Excellent town centre location and easy to find. Well equipped and very comfortable stay. Nice friendly hosts. Especially liked the private courtyard area for relaxing.

    Lovely, well-equipped, quiet but not very private cottage, in urgent need of air quality improvement
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • One-Bedroom Cottage
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The cottage owners live across the courtyard, where they run a B & B. I wasn't aware of this and really had some trouble with the lack of privacy, even though the hosts are really friendly people, especially because I wasn't aware of the fact that the hosts live only 3 meters away from the cottage when I booked. At home I do not lack any privacy, so it was a little upsetting. My main concern, however, lay in the fact that there was a typical smell, in fact an overpowering stench, in the cottage that I couldn't stand - very stale, muggy and old, like in an antique shop, which got worse when the radiators were switched on. They may be the cause of the stench and may need deep cleaning... Also, it was hardly possible to air the cottage as there are only windows on one side of it. These windows are awning windows with a very narrow opening. I never felt the air was clean and fresh, which really bothered me the whole week, also because of my health issues. I didn't discuss the awful smell with the owners; how could it be solved? No idea, also because my sense of smell could be different from theirs and they wouldn't perhaps smell the stench. In hindsight I feel I should have brought it up as it made me feel very uncomfortable and unhappy especially when I returned to the cottage from a nice day out in the open air. They were probably not aware of it, as hosts, and they should be. They responded very well to my health issue but I was afraid the hosts would find me a real nuisance for bringing up a second issue. But as a guest you should get what you deserve based on the website info, esp. when you don't feel well physically. So to all booking.com guests: always bring up your complaints!! The cottage deserves a touch up in terms of air quality as it is really gorgeous, really nicely decorated, well-equipped and very modern in design in terms of pillows and pieces of art as decorations.

    Courtyard cottage is a very quiet cottage in a beautiful setting with a comfortable bed, with a wonderful, secluded and sunny garden with birds and squirrels in a lovely little market town with shops, the railway station, lovely pubs, charity shops and sights really nearby - very convenient, especially when you travel alone. I had some special needs related to my health when I was staying at Courtyard Cottage, which the hosts accommodated upon my request straightaway. Really appreciated that! What I also liked was their prompt refund of my cleaning deposit

    The place is small and it is not easy to walk around with ease the rooms with ease. Kitchen is small and even though this flat is for two, there is a dinning table and four chairs which takes a lot of space. If two chairs and the big table be removed and the four chairs and table will be changed for two, it will be much better. The shower is bad and water switches to hot and cold and doesn't allow to take a proper shower.

    I love the location. It is very close to variety of shops, pubs, and places to go and things to do within walking distance. We found a Chinese take away that we really enjoyed the food.

    Very small shower room, tiny basin with no elbow room. Kitchen good for snacking and oven baking, no space for food prep - washing up a challenge. Eating out recommended apart from breakfast!

    Broadband speed! Great location, very short walk to town and very good restaurants
