Newton House Shortlist*
Knaresborough, Yorkshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘Excellent accommodation and a breakfast that sets you up for the day.’ Denise Carter extends a warm welcome at her ‘good value’ B&B in the centre of a ‘lovely’ market town. ‘Spacious, well-appointed’ bedrooms in the ‘fascinating’ 18th-century house are traditionally decorated; each has a comfortable bed, its own little library, a hospitality tray. Local beers, spirits and soft drinks are kept in the well-stocked honesty bar. In the evenings, light bites (soup, an omelette) might be ‘rustled up’; the hostess can recommend nearby eateries for more substantial fare. Home-made sourdough bread, jams and compotes are a worthy start to ‘organic “slow” breakfasts’. The small courtyard garden has a ‘wildlife’ area and ‘Hibernation Hotel’. A bonus: on-site parking.
