“Flabbergasted!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009

We never actually got into the accomodation so our review is based upon our arrival and the host Maureen. On arrival we enquired if there was a lounge area where we could sit after our 1 year old son had been put to bed at 7pm and were promptly told No! Fair enough we thought we could mabye use the breakfast room and again were told promptly No! We were then told that we should just go to bed when our son did! We found that unacceptable. When we booked we checked on the B&B facilities and fair enough it didn't state that they had a lounge room but it never stated that they didn't. My husband and I were discussing whether to stay or not but within less than a minute we were told "I don't have time to stand here while you debate for an hour, I'll make this easy for you, you're not staying here tonight."
Both my husband and I were shocked into a stunned silence. We were being left in a position with nowhere to stay with a young child in the late afternoon.
Having read the other reviews we completely agree with the statements that, as long as you do as she says you will be fine!!

Stayed July 2009, travelled with family

“Excellent place and great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2009

We stayed at Pigeon Olde over the easter weekend and we could not have chosen a better place for staying. The rooms were spotlessly clean & comfortable. Tea, coffee, biscuits and chocolates in the room, wet shower with hot water. The location of the B&B is really good with just less than a mile to Knaresborough and less than 5 miles to Harrogate.

Having read the earlier reviews, I wonder why people have complained about the hosts. We found Maureen and David to be really good hosts. Maureen served us hot breakfast every morning at the time that we wanted (9 as opposed to the 8:30 that she has suggested earlier). The breakfast and her good cheer really provided a good start to the day. Absolutely no complaints about their hospitality.

I would definitely recommend Pigeon Olde for its location, charming feel and the owners' hospitality.

“Good accommodation but the staff are something else!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2009

A night in Harrogate beckoned and at random a night was chosen at Ye Olde Pigeon Lodge. The accommodation was fine but the landlady was something else.......... Her take on guests was that she knew best and guests were supposed to listen to her views. Accommodation fine, host not! Not recommended for a relaxing few days or even one day.

Good location, Good food, very clean and tidy. unfortunately we had no hot water in the morning, ( Evening shower was fine)
Just do as you are instructed by the host and you will be fine! Adhere to breakfast times or else!

“Good location, nice B&B, however a personality clash with the hostess”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2009
3
people found this review helpful

Good location between knaresborough and Harrogate. Very frequent and convenient bus service running every 8 mins or so from the main road outside the B&B into Karesborough and Harrogate. Saves having to take the car into the town centres and trying to find a car park. £3.60 return for two into Harrogate. Last bus leaves just after midnight from Harrogate. 18 minute journey.
Accommadation was a good standard. Biscuits, tea making facilities and sweets in rooms. En-suite shower rooms (no bath). Showers are very good - lots of hot water and powerful.
Breakfast was very good as previously described in other reviews.
However I didn't recognise the descriptions of the hosts, or rather one in particular. I found them to be a very difficult person to get on with. I think we had a personality clash from approx 5 mins after meeting! But i have to say if you have a thick skin and can turn a blind eye i'm sure that (as it did for us) it will provide much amusement. And who knows they probably thought the same about me!!!!
