Overall it's a nice place to stay just a shame about the noise from the pub opposite but other than that I have nothing to moan about

“First of all, Knaresborough is gorgeous and I would recommend anyone to go.”

This accommodation is lovely and well situated right in the middle of the town. The only issue is that nowhere does it mention that the door to the property is in a beer garden! Meaning to get in and out you have to walk through smokers and drinkers and the noise, being next to the pub, goes on well into the late evening. We found it a mild irritation but if you were either older or had young children, then early nights are not possible. Really think this just have been on the description page.

“Lovely apartment all very clean.”

Owner Steve was always at hand if needed, Loaf of hovis bread, butter and pint of milk waiting was a nice touch after a long trip. Pub can be noisy, live music, karaoke, this might be your thing, but has usually quieten down by 10pm. Knaresborough is a lovely place with castle & other attractions, with plenty of places to eat and drink. Train service to York, Harrogate & Leeds is very good and cheap.

“Surrounded by vibrant autumn colours, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”

River Nidd and viaduct, amazing view from the castle, this lovely town itself was far beyond our expectation. All were based on this charming apartment. Firstly bread, butter and milk were welcomed us. For the 2nd week, fresh bedding and towels were supplied. We very much appreciate owner’s attentive kindness. Is this Yorkshire style ??

“My Wife and I were very happy with the accommodation and we met the friendly owner who went out of his way to be of help in making our stay enjoyable.”

We would return to this Apartment and this quaint Town Knaresborough in the future. Thank you.

“Fantastic apartment!”

Clean and comfortable, just what we needed for the weekend. Owner is lovely and exceeded our needs. There was milk, bread, and biscuits waiting for us when we got there! Close to bars, restaurants and plenty to do around this area. Only downside was the smoking area of the beer garden which is the access point to the apartment but that is out of the owners control. No noise through the night or anything though! Highly recommend and we will be sure to stay again!! :-)

“Thank you for a lovely stay, the apartment was perfect for us.”

It has a great location, it was clean and good value. A couple of things like another mirror in the main room and coat hook could be really useful, but thanks for what you provided in the kitchen.

The front door is 5 feet away from the smoking area of the pub behind it so these people in the area always know when you’re in and out of the home

- Matthew, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been taken on board. The smoking area will be relocated to resolve this matter. The pub yard will be transformed into a beer garden also. Sykes owner relations

“Apartment is fine.”

However what you fail to mention in your literature is that the main door opens directly onto the smoking area/back of the Market Tavern pub. Not pleasant to walk out to. Also the pub has a flat roof and the two dogs (one large) when left out there, bark at anything going past!

About the location

KNARESBOROUGH

Harrogate 2 miles; York 18 miles.

Knaresborough is an ancient market and Spa town on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, overlooking the River Nidd, and is one of the prettiest towns in North Yorkshire. Its location makes it ideal as a base for touring the stunning countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. For lovers of history, St John’s Church, Knaresborough House and the now-ruined Knaresborough Castle were built by the Normans in around 1100 AD. Other attractions in the town include Mother Shipton’s petrifying well, the Courthouse Museum, "Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe in England" which dates back to 1720 and the quirky House in the Rock. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy wonderful walks by the river, cycling, climbing, fishing, boating or just sitting and taking in the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The town centre has many interesting shops and galleries, and there is a colourful and lively market held on Wednesdays. The fascinating, historic cathedral cities of Ripon and York are close by, as are the Spa town of Harrogate, the great stately homes of Castle Howard and Harewood House, the Cistercian Abbeys of Fountains, Rievaulx and Jervaulx, and the castles of Middleham, Bolton and Richmond.
