We had a 1 night stay at Knowles Lodge on 8th September whilst attending a family wedding. We received a warm welcome from Chris, who came to greet us from our car, and brought us tea to drink on the verandah. Our room was clean, spacious and had everything we might have needed for our short stay. We were a... More

My partner and I stayed 9th June 2012 for 1 night as part of our Dales Way walking holiday. The accommodation was immaculate and the breakfast 1st class. Room for improvement: a TV in the room (although I suspect Chris likes to chat away with the guests in the lounge), biscuits in date, and the cold tap not running warm.

Attended our friends wedding at the weekend and had a very pleasant stay at Knowles Lodge. Stunning setting and amazing views from our bedroom window. The hosts were eccentric in a good way and very welcoming and great to talk to. Breakfast was great and just wish we could have stayed longer.

We have just had the pleasure of stopping in one of the nicest B&B's I have ever stayed in, the place its is beautiful, wonderful gardens and views to die for. The owners Chris and Pam are first class, very welcoming and a pleasure to talk to, the breakfast was amazing, freshly squeezed orange juice, home made hot fruit compote... More

Breakfast is absolutely superb - only the very best ingredients were used. The house speciality hot fruit compote was fantastic and the sausages (which are... More

Chris is a fantastic host with impeccable taste and charm, we were greeted at the drive and invited in for a cup of tea and a chat about the history of this lovely house. Pam was incapcitated so Chris was working like a... More

In our well travelled opinion this is most probably THE best standard of bed and Breakfast it is possible to achieve - without it becoming a 5 Star boutique hotel - in Britain today. Welcoming host, fresh flowers, total openess to share the beautiful airy family lounge which is flooded with natural daylight and has jaw dropping views across the... More

Make sure you have adequate travel insurance before you go to this B&B. We had arranged to go to Knowles Lodge for 3 nights in July but unfortunately had to cancel a week in advance because our little dog had become very poorly. The owner, Chris Knowles-Fitton got quite agitated and demanded compensation for his missed opportunity to grab £270... More
