Perched above the Nidd gorge the Gallon House is not simply somewhere to stay, it's a destination in its own right. Firstly it's a top notch B&B; welcoming, warm and comfy. The treats add up - and in no particular order: the location, view, breakfast, decor, unusual architecture, collection of National Geographic magazines, character, afternoon tea, railway viaduct, bottle of...

I was here for three nights for the British Craft Trade Fair, and am so delighted I found this place. This is my sixth stay in Knaresborough but my first at Gallon House. You would have to go a long way to find such a superb B&B/Hotel. The owners are incredibly friendly and attentive, never intrusive. The house and the... More

We booked in for one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was a lovely visit. The first tip is to try and come by train as the entrance to the hotel is only 30 seconds from the platform. The lounge, sun room and terrace are relaxing, well designed and just what was needed to chill out. Our room... More

When I booked the room I let Sue know that it was a special occasion and she was able to arrange for flowers and chilled champagne to be in our room on arrival. We arrived on the saturday afternoon and after a brief walk arounf... More

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary recently and treated ourselves to a night at Gallon House. I admit we did so with some trepidation as we are home birds and don't much like the usual hotel experience....needn't have worried! Rick and Sue ensured we felt welcome and made our stay feel relaxed and at the same time special. For us,... More

I recently took my best friend to Gallon House after reading a review in the Guardian and it was the best choice I ever made! Arrived out of the station to find it on the doorstep and from that moment it was not only beautiful, peaceful, attentive but one of the best meals I have ever had! Rick and Sue... More

I booked this 1 night away for my partners birthday. I had found this hotel last year on browsing the internet with good reviews for staying and eating there. I booked it early so as to not be disappointed and so i had a chance to save up lol. It's not cheap and with the meal and 2 bottles of... More

Thank you for your kind comments. Gallon House has a a large south facing balcony which overlooks the Nidd Gorge, from which our guests can enjoy drinks and the view when the weather permits. Additionally, there is one bedroom with a very small balcony- and this is our bedroom...so not available to guests! More

My husband and I stayed here in July 2009, and it was perfect. Before arriving we were asked if we wanted to stay for the dinner in the evening however as my husband is allergic to nuts we declined the meal because the menu showed nuts in a few items. I wish we had just told them earlier as they... More
