“As kitsch as they come”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Like your granny's house but on speed
I stayed in the large bay windowed bedroom, the decor is crazy, flowers everywhere but it was just great, it made such a change from modern minimalist hotels. Ive never seen a cleaner home, so many ornaments and so little dust, amazing. Tiny wee shower cubicle, I like a decent bathroom but this room was so cute that wouldn't put me off. Go on you know you want to.....

Thank-you for your review. You might be pleased to know (and then again you might not), that the bedroom you stayed in has been redecorated (gone are the ceiling flowers!) and a lovely en-suite with large shower installed to replace the rather small and dated one. We have also redecorated another of our large bedrooms and replaced the old en-suite with a large shower. We do hope you visit again and see for yourself the improvements we have made.

“What a gem this is!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

We've stayed at April House twice now and enjoyed each visit. The last time we were there was October 2011 and we were lucky enough to stay in the prettiest room ever which was above the dining room. It was so comfortable you didn't want to leave it to go out and explore the area. David and Ruth are lovely hosts who really want you to enjoy your stay with them and are happy to help and advise with anything you need. Parking is free of charge with the permit system and right outside the front door - so convenient. Our luggage was taken up for us while we were playing with their lovely dog which is kept out of the 'hotel' side of the property unless you insist on meeting it which we did!! Breakfast is whatever you want. It's served quickly and cooked to order although it does finish early at 9am. We mis-heard and thought breakfast was till 10am on the Sunday and arrived in the dining room at 9.25. Despite this mistake on our part we were still treated to a lovely cooked breakfast. We felt quite ashamed of ourselves as David was clearing up the dining room by the time we came down for breakfast but were pleased to 'tuck in'.
Our beautiful bedroom was situated on the property's corner with lovely leafy views to both sides. The bed is Kingsized and very comfortable and the room has a light airy feel to it with 2 lovely plush armchairs and plenty of space for clothes and travel accessories. This is definitely not a Chain Hotel and if you want a hotel with personal service and a traditional feel at reasonable cost in Harrogate you should look no further. This is well worth a visit.

Room Tip: The room we had was above the dining room. Can't remember if it's room 2 or 3

“Clean tidy good food and great host what more do you need in a b&b”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Got to say April house wasn't our first choice as we normally go to another b&b nearby.
However on arrival was made very welcome the place is situated near to town centre 5 mins walk.
The room we had was at the top of the house which was small but very clean and function able the size of the room wasn't an issue to us.
The hosts was extremely friendly and the breakfast top notch..
Will definately stay there again and recommend.

“" April Break " in September”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

April House was "Superb" from every viewpoint. My wife and I were warmly recieved by Ruth and introduced to our Room, which immediately took our breath away. Decor absolutely fantastic and beautifully appointed. Comfortable King Sized Bed. Tea and Coffee facility provided & the room was simply warm & inviting, and met our every needs. We registered our Breakffast time with David (Chef ) and what a fantastic wholesome Breakfast it was - superbly cooked & several choices. Location was excellent being a very short walk into the Harrogate Centre. David & Ruth provided a Map of the area and gave us suggested locations to visit this made our 3 day Holiday Break more enjoyable. April House is a wonderful experience and you can be sure we will be making a return visit. David & Ruth many thanks for everything. H&J
