“Our Second Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

We have just returned from our second visit of the year to Harrogate. As always we stay with Jen and we wouldn't stay anywhere else.In previous years we have tried different Guest Houses & Hotels but nothing compares. Franklin View has everything you need: location, cleanliness, comfy bed and food. Nothing is ever to much trouble for Jen she will meet all your requirements whatever they are. There is plenty of information at the guest house of places to visit and where to eat and if your not sure your host will try and advise of where would be best. If you visit Harrogate try Franklin View and you wont want to go anywhere else.

“Can't fault it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

Really can't fault it... lovely room, comfortable bed, very clean and tidy, charming hostess, fantastic breakfast, and in addition lots of little extras such as free maps of the area, cotton buds, tissues etc available in the room. Peaceful location within short walk of the town centre too. Would highly recommend.

“In these days of Hustle and Bustle nice to know such places exist”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

Franklin View is a delightful guest house, where good service a pleasant attitude and attention to detail comes as standard. My wife and I had a most enjoyable stay at this fine establishment and were warmly welcomed by Jennifer the landlady

It would be remiss of me not to mention the good breakfast served, as it surely set us up for the day to enjoy the wonderful scenery which surrounds this picturesque spa town. In these days of hustle and bustle it is nice to know that such places as Franklin View exist.

“Great Guest House in Good Harrogate Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

Absolutely wonderful guest house in a fairly quiet location about 10mins walk from Harrogate centre.

Had very spacious double room which also had a single bed. Decor was lovely, and en-suite shower room was also a good size and immaculate. Loads of wardrobe/drawer space and plenty of accessories you'd expect to find in the best hotels (e.g. sewing kit; trouser press; plenty of tea/coffee/biscuits, fridge on the landing for residents to use, etc). Although no sachets of decaff coffee, Jennifer brought up a little pot with decaff coffee in it and a cafetiere so my wife could make her own when she wanted.

Breakfast was great both days, with good selection of cereals, yoghurts, fruit before a choice of cooked options,

2 parking spaces in front of the house and other spaces available on main road.

Jennifer made us feel at home all weekend and couldn't do enough for any of her guests. What with the quality and service here and the Turkish Baths experience, we couldn't have asked for a better weekend away.

Would definitely recommend Franklin View.
