Guest Reviews

• Glynis (8/5): Location is walkable into Harrogate centre. - Location was easy to find and accessible. Not far to walk into Harrogate so you didn't need to use the car. Despite a few issues noted in 'didn't like' overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and tidy and had everything we needed whilst staying there. The area was good and the house was situated in a quiet road. Very little outside area to sit out, small table and 2 chairs unusable when car parked in specified area. Indoor steps to bedroom/bathroom very steep and narrow. Bedroom floorboards excessively creak. Outdoor steps into the house very steep.
• Stephen (5/5): An OK experience. - A 15 minute walk to Harrogate Town Centre with secure parking. The property is in effect an extension to the Council House Property next door, is a an entrance from the back of it in the street behind. All correspondence etc was through Host & Stay rather than the owners presumably living next door. Presumably the Owners have minimal contact and should really check the property. Neither the two extractor fans in the bathroom and downstairs toilet worked. The sink in the upstairs bathroom drained very slowly which was irritating when using. Needs unblocking. The sofa in living room uncomfortable and the Poang IKEA armchair was a struggle to get out of. The plates did not match and were a mishmash. The floor upstairs creaked badly and ideally need looking at. The headroom on the stairs is low and despite warning strips, my partner pr bashed his head once. The wooden entrance gates were broken. The cost of the property for the week was £498 for the house, £55 service charge and £50 cleaning fee. Prior to arriving there were several annoying upselling emails from Host and Stay advertising a chef to cook for us, which given the accommodation was not appropriate. In the event, we arrived separately due t9 a funeral and it was annoying that Host and Stay did not email the check in info until 4 hours before our arrival time, despite us being told it would be sent the day before. when .i complained, the apology was an apology and a wishy washy customer service response. They were quite happy to send several upselling emails but could not send the check in email when they were supposed to. Our impression was that the property was not much to write home about and adequate.
• Mary (9/5): Superb - Extremely squeaky floorboards in the bedroom area.
• Rebecca (8/5): Very good - Loved little extras, like having a teacake as a welcome. A tin stocked with tea and coffee. Good quality shower gel and shampoo. Great proximity to the town centre. Overall good value for money. The amount of advertisement messages. Too much from Host & Stay. Charlie himself was super friendly and answered questions swiftly :)
• Ronald (10/5): It was wonderful we enjoyed Harrogate and the Limes very much - Nothing
• James (10/5): Fantastic weekend. - Very nice apartment and very cozy. Everything you need for a couples weekend away.
• Kevin (9/5): Superb - Great apartment, very clean & good facilities. Parking on site added bonus. Good location.
• Barbara (8/5): Nice and pleasant experience - The accomodation was close proximity do the town centre, about 20 min walk, in a quiet area. The acctual property had everything you needed for your stay, which made it very accomodating. The place itself was clean, with a very comfortable bed, hot shower and we also found that the wifi was exellent. There was even three pin plug convertor provided for those from abroad. The host went the extra mile to welcome us for Xmas by way of decorating the place accordingly and gifted us an array of goodies, which was completley unexpected but a lovely touch:) There was also a fresh carton of milk in the fridge to start us off as well as a box of lovely Yorkshire tea which we appreciated after long journey. Harrogate town centre itself was beautifully decorated for the season, with many good places to eat and to experience the Xmas chill. As an observation not as criticisim we founded curious that on the eve of arrival we were asked for a payment of 20 pounds, unrefundable, for breakages when it is a usual practise to refund that money if there is no damage done. Another was asking for a payment of 50 pounds for a mid stay cleaning service when really we believed that the price paid for 17 day stay included a cleaning service at some point. We felt that we have beeen aksed for extra charges after paying the headline price already. The bathroom itself would benefit with a freshen up and with better lighting. And lastly for the duration of the 17 day stay there should have been a adequat supply of toilet paper.
• Lysa (8/5): Safe, secure and great outdoor space for my 7 month old Labrador - Perfect for what I needed and loved the secure outside area When staying in could do with a larger television
• Deborah (6/5): Adequate -
• Christopher (7/5): Good - Comfortable accommodation. Good location and parking Internet connectivity was a problem. A bit hit and miss throughout the week. Baking trays need replacing.
• Joey (5/5): A convenience place to stay and dog friendly but the cleaning agent may need to work harder - Has it own parking space, a cosy little place, fresh milk provided, dog friendly without extra fee Part of the handrail is sticky, cooking utensils stains and are not clean properly, toilet exhausting fans are malfuction
• Simon (9/5): Superb -
• Anne (9/5): Superb -
• Alan (7/5): Overall very enjoyable - Good location. Clean and comfortable. Creaky bedroom floor got very irritating.
• Cheryl (7/5): Good for a short stay - Good location, has everything you need Quite dated. Bath and tea towels were stained. Never had to pay a non refundable deposit before (worked away for 10 years) and received several emails about breakages which was annoying and will prevent me staying again
• Everatt (10/5): Cosy and comfortable - A very cosy and comfortable place to stay. The Limes is slightly out of the centre of Harrogate, but the area it is in is lovely and peaceful, making it a great place to stay. There wasn't anything that we didn't like about the Limes.
• Guntis (7/5): Good - Property was amazing. Clean. Perfect for pairs Internet connection was really really poor. My work needed to be done through video conference, internet was too poor
• Alan (7/5): Good - Like being at home Parking was a little awkward especially with people parking opposite the entrance
• Howard (7/5): An odd little apartment, but in a great location. - The location is excellent (once we found it.) The bed is large and comfy. The inclusion of Netflix (etc) is useful. The place was hard to find. Google took us to the rear of the property (on County Square) It's not obvious even when you've found the entrance. It's an odd little property squeezed in between a house and a garage, with only a couple fo windows. The frying pans were very tired.
• Jaideep (8/5): A convenient place close to the city centre. - The location of the place was convenient, as the city centre was within walking distance. The parking space is within the premises, so we didnt have to worry about safety. It has a powder room, a kitchenette and a living room on the ground floor and a bed room plus a bathroom cum shower area on the first floor. The stairs to the first floor are a bit sleep and we did find it a bit difficult considering our age. Shouldnt be a problem with younger folks though.
• Sarah (7/5): Good - The property has everything you need
• Aishling (7/5): Good - Everything except for postcode brings you to different location and took forever (as it was dark) to find, once there perfect
• John (10/5): The Limes - Location and private parking Nothing
• Hayley (6/5): Great location, property disappointing. - The location was good, ideal for exploring Harrogate and surrounding areas. Off road secure parking a bonus. We had an issue with bathroom light, this was dealt with very efficiently. The boiler flue exhausts in your face whilst using door/ key safe. The property was cold on arrival. Stairs felt home made, head height restriction, short treads and risers, exposed carpet gripper. Generally felt dirty cobwebs above bed, pet hair on furniture, the whole property felt in need of a deep clean and painting. No hand towels in kitchen and downstairs toilet, not enough towels provided, washing machine in property but no drier. One rubbish tea towel, we needed to wash all utensils before use., had to dry tea towel on radiator in order to dry our dishes. No TV in bedroom. Bathroom tap hot/cold plumbed the wrong way. Bathroom basin blocked. Shower curtain used as a blind in bathroom. One disposable cloth and sponge for 4 night stay, no spare bin bags. Additional fee for insurance, this should be included in price or covered by landlord’s insurance. Generally the finish was shoddy, it could be a great property but felt uncared for.
• Jo (8/5): Comfortable property with everything you need and perfectly located. - The location was perfect - just 10 minutes walk from the town centre and from the hotel that our conference was being held at. It was on the edge of a very quiet residential area, so no noise at night, and also felt secure walking back at night. The only real issue was that the property was quite tricky to find. The postcode on the details given is for the house that the property is annexed to, not the property itself, but to access the property you have to follow the directions given (rather than type the postcode into the satnav). The property can't be accessed at the postcode location, as the entrance to the property is actually on a parallel road behind the satnav location - in effect, the back entrance to the satnav location! One other thing that didn't affect the stay at all, but some of the decor and general appearance was rather 'tired' and in need of a spruce up. If this was freshened up a bit I would have scored it excellent on all counts.
• Ian (8/5): Very good - Flat had everything a couple would need and was fitted out well. Stairs were too steep, narrow and low head clearance. Gates and drive were not easy to use.
• David (10/5): First class accommodation in a a perfect location - Everything we needed for our stay. Excellent facilities, perfect location for walking into the town centre. Secure parking was a real bonus. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Harrogate Nothing at all
• Kya (5/5): Ok, but not the best.could be much better. - Parking secluded Proximity to city Double toilets Good kitchen area Very dirty-dust,dead spiders and general feeling of uncleanliness. Unclean mugs. Uncomfortable sofa Uncomfortable bedding-pillows need replacing Very bad basic toilet paper, not the best tea/coffee facilities.
• Timothy (8/5): A very comfortable location for a couple from which to explore Harrogate and the surrounding area. - The Limes is ideally located for exploring Harrogate on foot, if you are prepared to do some walking for a mile or so in pleasant surroundings. We spent several very enjoyable days walking from The Limes into town with easy access provided via pavements and paths to many attractions such as Betty's Tea Rooms and Valley Gardens. Walking is easy and largely level with a few gentle slopes. The Limes is ideal for a couple, being snug and comfortable. Off street, secure parking is also provided on site. The location is ideal for exploring the area around Harrogate and driving a little farther afield. We found several neighbouring towns that were delightful and we particularly liked Knaresborough. Plenty of history and nice countryside to explore. An added bonus was being able to watch Netflix free of charge after a full day walking! We have no negative comments but would emphasise that accommodation is suitable for an individual or a couple and not more than this.
• Jon (9/5): Clean comfy very nice - All good thanks All good thanks
• Robert (10/5): Very nice - Clean and comfortable Another outside light needed near gate as very dark, a tv in bedroom would be an advantage
• Jean (10/5): Exceptional - The house was lovely, and parking outside with gates for secure parking was great. Very clean and comfortable. It was very private and quiet the area. A bit of a walk to Harrogate Town, I would say, 30 minutes. Accommodation central heating took time to heat up even with a temperature adjuster. Could have done with a thick curtain round front door to keep heat in Did not like having to pay for an insurance policy for £25 against damages or give a £250 refundable deposit!
• Gavin (9/5): Super location and clean comfortable accommodation. - The guidebook emailed to me was very helpful. Accommodation was very clean and very well equipped and organised.
• Staci (9/5): Superb -
• Pauline (8/5): Very good -
• Ed (9/5): A nice cosy place to hold up and relax in. - Great place to come back and rest. Thank you for the flapjack too! :) I arrived in the dark and found it difficult to find the entrance to the gate at first.
• Clare (10/5): Great place to stay - Nice compact, clean property with everything you would need. Perfectly located and having private parking was exactly what I needed. Will use again. Helpful friendly owners when we had a little problem but was quickly sorted.
• Douglas (9/5): Superb -
• Graham (10/5): Exceptional - The property was perfect for two, comfortable and quite. Location fab short walk into town and parking brilliant. It made for such a relaxing week end get away. There wasn't anything not to like, this was one of our best weekend get away.
• Glenn (8/5): Very good - Not to far from the town centre Free parking on site
• Joe (7/5): Good value , reasonable close to the city centre - It was only a fifteen minute walk into Harrogate , passing the railway station on route, which has regular trains into York (40 mins). The property felt like a granny flat attached to the owners property (that’s not a bad thing). Equipped with everything you need, not badly furnished, off street secure parking at the property was a bonus. Overall not bad value for the price 😀 Nothing particularly stuck out that I would say I didn’t like.
• Claire (10/5): Cosy comfort little flat - Well equipped, very comfortable (especially the bed) good location and parking. Communication was excellent, before, during and after our stay. The toaster didnt work and was replaced the same day.with an apology (excellent service) Ideal place to stay
• Sally (3/5): Please avoid using Host&Stay at all costs. - Despite the booking.com page saying there were no additional costs, I was forced to pay a deposit to stay in this property of £250. I asked to cancel the booking and they wouldn't and so I had to pay. I received multiple emails pestering about this deposit. The day after the deposit was taken from our account, the account was hacked and £280 was taken from the account, this has never happened before. Please don't support Host&Stay, they are not to be trusted.
• Mark (8/5): Very good -
• Philip (8/5): Overall very pleased and would return. If the things in the section of things I did not like were addressed it would tur - Location to town was excellent. Secure parking. Property was clean. A light in drive would be nice, not just over front door. Hand rail on high steps to front door would be helpful. Towel for downstairs toilet and kitchen would have been nice. More than one very thin and small tea towel. Measuring jug and scales for kitchen. Microwave dishes to heat food in microwave. First time that I have had to buy extra toilet rolls.
• Helen (7/5): Would recommend - The property was nice and clean. The location was a good central base for exploring the surrounding area. The property was secure with onsite parking and an enclosed area in the garden which was ideal for our dog. It had all the facilities we needed at a reasonable price. It was also very quiet. Some of the paintwork looked a little bit tired but nothing to complain about.
• Michelle (10/5): Fab stay - Clean, cosy and lots of added extras such as books and board games. Nothing!
• John (9/5): Superb - Excellent facilities , close to town centre but very quiet - great parking
• Monica (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great about 10 minute walk to town with lovely facilities near by - Cafe, pizza, pub etc. Great off street parking Liked the personal touches such as milk and a cake. Nothing
• Graeme (9/5): Superb -
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Linda (8/5): Very good -
• Lyndsey (9/5): enjoyable, comfortable - comfortable, everything we needed. we were happy with it
• Ruth (8/5): It was exactly as expected - Self catering Steps to entry door steep
• Payne (9/5): Mary. Grimsby - Loved the place. Comfy bed. Very well equipped. Very quiet. Close to Harrogate town centre. The staircase.
• John (8/5): Very happy with the Limes - 'Bijou' but everything you need and great for 2 people (and a dog). Good location. An easy walk into the town. On site parking and secure enclosed area for the dog. Tastefully decorated. Would use again Beware of the low head clearance on the stairs! Host and Stay were helpful on queries but emails on the security bond were excessive and a £10 charge for leaving a deposit seems unfair. This would not stop me using them again
• Paul (2/5): A tail of cobwebs, mildew and extortion? - I will start with the positives, the kitchen was well stocked with salt, pepper, oil and milk in the fridge. The house needs a deep clean, on the face of it the floors and surfaces have been cleaned, i.e. no dust, with the exception of one of the kitchen cupboards, which had what I want to guess was ketchup. However, the edges not so, the celling’s all had cobwebs, the worst place was the extractor in the bathroom which was almost blocked with debris. The bed was rickety and the mattress was uncomfortable On the subject of the bathroom, almost every wall edge has mildew, the area above the shower is the worst and could be considered a health hazard. The curtain at the bathroom window also has mildew. I booked through booking .com, and expected to pay at the property – Not the case. The managing agents collect well before hand- not really an issue. But this is not the final price you pay you have 3 options 1) Pay a deposit for breakages with a non refundable admin charge 2) Pay for their insurance 3) Cancel If I could have found somewhere else I would have done number 3 And on the personal data side the use an external company to collect and store your data
• Rafael (8/5): Very good - Quiet area not too far from the city centre (20 min. wallk) Radiator at the bathroom not working.
• Michael (10/5): Was a very relaxing place to retreat to after the Piano Tuners' Convention. Devon Tap well friendly - Maybe, Some more detailed instructions on how to use heater, TV, microwave, for technophobes like me !
• John (8/5): Great location for a Harrogate short-break. - Cosy and comfortable place in a quiet residential street yet within walking distance of both Harrogate town centre and the local football ground - should you want to watch some League 2 football. It's also right by the A59 Skipton road so you can drive out to the Yorkshire Dales without going through town centre. Having a private, secure parking place is invaluable in a town otherwise full of resident disc parking zones. Kitchen has all you need for a self-catering break, while there are a couple of cafes within 5 minutes' walk. En-suite is a decent size and shower was efficient. Additional downstairs loo is a bonus. Bottom of staircase is a well-signed height risk for anyone 6ft tall. The stairs run up from the lounge area and it is much warmer upstairs than down, which may be an issue for winter stays.
• Michael (10/5): Great pace for temporary living. - It is a nice little space and has all the thing’s required for a comfortable stay. If you a tall person be aware of the stairs
• Karen (9/5): Superb -
• Jackie (8/5): relaxing weekend with my husband and dog - compact and cosy. Wi-Fi instructions clear and easy .walking distance to town smaller and darker than it looked on photos
• Barry (9/5): 4 nights in Harrogate, great pub with bands The Den. - House had everything we needed ,no problems getting in. The fact that dogs had stayed in premises
• Owen (6/5): Pleasant - Location with parking on site. Overall we were disappointed. There is an extra charge for a deposit (which is refunded however there is a non-negotiable transaction fee) which is not mentioned prior to purchase. In my opinion it is false advertising. Not clean with lots of dog hair on the sofa and rug.
• David (7/5): Good - It was comfortable Trying to find the place
• Michelle (9/5): Enjoyable - Location Nice and quiet Creaky floorboards on stairs and upstairs Disappointed we didn't get a refund on the first day we couldn't arrive 18th March 2023 we won't make the same mistake again
• Anonymous (9/5): Comfortable and quiet. - Quiet area Drive for parking Comfortable Clean nothing
• James (8/5): Very good - Everything u needed Bed was squeeky and annoying
• Liam (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joey (8/5): Very good -
• Jackie (10/5): Lovely cute place - The limes was so convenient for everything. We went to the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate. We spent a day in York, Leeds and the Yorkshire dales. So central for all. The house was clean, comfortable and secure. Can't really say anything bad. The only downside was as it was dark when we arrived maybe some extra lighting
• Christopher (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (9/5): Pleasant and memorable. - Clean and cosy. all necessary amenities. No issues whatsoever.
• Vanessa (10/5): Great little getaway - Cosy little property, perfect for two of us and the dog. Private, off road parking which was brilliant. A quiet area, about a 12 minute walk into the centre of Harrogate. Nothing! Everything was perfect for us.
• Barry (7/5): Good -
• Nigel (5/5): Enjoyed our stay in Harrogate but the housekeeping let the property down we expected much more. The - Nice little house having a home from home feel. Good location with free parking. The property was not clean. When we arrived there were coffee granules on the floor clearly it hadn't been cleaned. Coffee stains down the front of the cupboard door, the cooker looked like it hadn't been cleaned inside for ages and dust webs in the corners of bedroom and toilet with spiders in.
• Ailsa (8/5): Very good -
• Ian (9/5): Superb - Excellent property only 10 to 15 minutes walk into the centre. Ample parking and quiet location. Highly recommend. Extractor fan didn't work that's all in bathroom.
• Elinor (10/5): Perfect location, great value, house clean and tidy, it has everything you need. - We loved our stay at The Limes, it is in a perfect location, the area was quiet and the house had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was really comfy and the house had the added factor of off-street parking. We liked that you could bring your dog. I would recommend this property to my family and friends if they needed anywhere to stay near Harrogate. No dislikes we liked everything about the property and location.
• Jacqueline (10/5): Exceptional -
