Good location. Clean and comfortable.<br/><br/>Creaky bedroom floor got very irritating.

Good location, has everything you need<br/><br/>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
04/08/2024
Lovely house for me and my dog! Very clean and comfy. However the gate is really hard to open and breaking very unsafe and hurt my hand every time i tried to open it. Also the house is round the back of a house so the location given is wrong. I did not get a check in code and when I messaged the host I got told to look at my email which I did not get. I had to ring and ask for my code. I was delayed to check in about an hour

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.<br/><br/>There wasn't anything that we didn't like about the Limes.
28/07/2024
Property was amazing. Clean.<br/>Perfect for pairs<br/><br/>Internet connection was really really poor.<br/>My work needed to be done through video conference, internet was too poor
17/07/2024
Like being at home<br/><br/>Parking was a little awkward especially with people parking opposite the entrance
30/06/2024
The location is excellent (once we found it.) <br/>The bed is large and comfy. <br/>The inclusion of Netflix (etc) is useful.<br/><br/>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.
21/06/2024
From start to finish this accommodation was perfect for our needs. We would highly recommend this accommodation.
18/06/2024
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.<br/><br/>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.
31/05/2024
Lovely place to stay perfect for me, my mum and my dog. Private enclosed drive for my car and ideal to let the dog out without needing a street walk. Kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Downstairs toilet was an added bonus when comparing to other properties. Bed was lovely and comfortable and shower warm/with enough pressure. <br/>Check in was with a key box code so was easy and flexible.<br/>Location was great - around the corner from a pub, takeaways, a dog cafe and The Stray (open green parkland).<br/>Tourist style leaflets provided were very useful and inspired us to take a trip to Wensleydale cheese factory. We also did some reservoir walks, visited Aysgarth falls and Whittakers Distillery during our short stay, all of which I can recommend.<br/>Slight down-marking was due to additional deposit requirement not fully refundable or an extra insurance at guest's expense. Re cleanliness - property wasn't gleaming/spotless but was adequate for our stay.
24/05/2024
The property has everything you need
10/05/2024
Everything except for postcode brings you to different location and took forever (as it was dark) to find, once there perfect
01/05/2024
Location and private parking<br/><br/>Nothing
28/04/2024
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.<br/><br/>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.
23/04/2024
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.<br/><br/>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! <br/>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.
19/04/2024
Flat had everything a couple would need and was fitted out well.<br/><br/>Stairs were too steep, narrow and low head clearance.<br/>Gates and drive were not easy to use.
13/04/2024
Everything we needed for our stay. Excellent facilities, perfect location for walking into the town centre. <br/>Secure parking was a real bonus. <br/>Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Harrogate<br/><br/>Nothing at all
07/04/2024
Parking secluded<br/>Proximity to city<br/>Double toilets<br/>Good kitchen area<br/><br/>Very dirty-dust,dead spiders and general feeling of uncleanliness.<br/>Unclean mugs.<br/>Uncomfortable sofa<br/>Uncomfortable bedding-pillows need replacing<br/>Very bad basic toilet paper, not the best tea/coffee facilities.
05/04/2024
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!<br/><br/>We have no negative comments but would emphasise that accommodation is suitable for an individual or a couple and not more than this.
12/03/2024
All good thanks<br/><br/>All good thanks
02/03/2024
Clean and comfortable<br/><br/>Another outside light needed near gate as very dark, a tv in bedroom would be an advantage
20/02/2024
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.<br/><br/>A bit of a walk to Harrogate Town, I would say, 30 minutes.<br/><br/>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<br/><br/>Did not like having to pay for an insurance policy for £25 against damages or give a £250 refundable deposit!
09/02/2024
The guidebook emailed to me was very helpful. Accommodation was very clean and very well equipped and organised.
04/02/2024
We struggled to find the property initially despite the link. Satnav still took us to the wrong place. We found the best way was to type in lime street. The property was perfect for our weekend stay and so well equipped. I was particularly impressed that there was a diffuser with the hair dryer. Having curly hair i reall appreciated it. Useful we could just let the dog out the back at night. I'd definetly recommend The Limes as a place to stay and would use it again

I was visiting family and this was the perfect place for me. Clean throughout, well equipped kitchen. Great location with parking. Easy walk into town.

Great place to come back and rest. Thank you for the flapjack too! :)<br/><br/>I arrived in the dark and found it difficult to find the entrance to the gate at first.
04/12/2023
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.

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.<br/><br/>There wasn't anything not to like, this was one of our best weekend get away.
04/11/2023
Not to far from the town centre<br/>Free parking on site
30/10/2023
Great location to walk to everything in Harrogate with private parking
17/10/2023
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 ?<br/><br/>Nothing particularly stuck out that I would say I didn’t like.
14/10/2023
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
11/10/2023
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.

Location to town was excellent. Secure parking. Property was clean.<br/><br/>A light in drive would be nice, not just over front door. <br/>Hand rail on high steps to front door would be helpful. <br/>Towel for downstairs toilet and kitchen would have been nice. <br/>More than one very thin and small tea towel. <br/>Measuring jug and scales for kitchen. <br/>Microwave dishes to heat food in microwave. <br/>First time that I have had to buy extra toilet rolls.
30/08/2023
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.<br/><br/>Some of the paintwork looked a little bit tired but nothing to complain about.
29/08/2023
Clean, cosy and lots of added extras such as books and board games.<br/><br/>Nothing!
21/08/2023
Excellent facilities , close to town centre but very quiet - great parking
12/08/2023
Location was great about 10 minute walk to town with lovely facilities near by - Cafe, pizza, pub etc.<br/>Great off street parking<br/>Liked the personal touches such as milk and a cake.<br/><br/>Nothing

Loved the place. Comfy bed. Very well equipped. Very quiet. Close to Harrogate town centre.<br/><br/>The staircase.
29/05/2023
'Bijou' but everything you need and great for 2 people (and a dog).<br/>Good location. An easy walk into the town. On site parking and secure enclosed area for the dog.<br/>Tastefully decorated. Would use again<br/><br/>Beware of the low head clearance on the stairs! <br/>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
23/05/2023
I will start with the positives, the kitchen was well stocked with salt, pepper, oil and milk in the fridge.<br/><br/>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. <br/>The bed was rickety and the mattress was uncomfortable <br/>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. <br/>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 <br/>1) Pay a deposit for breakages with a non refundable admin charge <br/>2) Pay for their insurance <br/>3) Cancel <br/>If I could have found somewhere else I would have done number 3 <br/>And on the personal data side the use an external company to collect and store your data
16/05/2023
Quiet area not too far from the city centre (20 min. wallk)<br/><br/>Radiator at the bathroom not working.
13/05/2023
Maybe, Some more detailed instructions on how to use heater, TV, microwave, for technophobes like me !
09/05/2023
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.<br/><br/>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.
30/04/2023
It is a nice little space and has all the thing’s required for a comfortable stay.<br/><br/>If you a tall person be aware of the stairs

compact and cosy. Wi-Fi instructions clear and easy .walking distance to town<br/><br/>smaller and darker than it looked on photos
08/04/2023
House had everything we needed ,no problems getting in.<br/><br/>The fact that dogs had stayed in premises
04/04/2023
Location with parking on site.<br/><br/>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.
27/03/2023
It was comfortable<br/><br/>Trying to find the place
26/03/2023
Location Nice and quiet<br/><br/>Creaky floorboards on stairs and upstairs <br/> <br/>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

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.<br/>The house was clean, comfortable and secure.<br/><br/>Can't really say anything bad. <br/>The only downside was as it was dark when we arrived maybe some extra lighting
17/11/2022
14/11/2022
Clean and cosy. all necessary amenities. No issues whatsoever.
29/10/2022
The Limes is a nice little place near the center of Harrogate. It was fantastic for the short time I stayed, and check in/out were very simple. My only problem was my own height, as you need to watch your head on the way up and down the stairs.
15/10/2022
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.<br/><br/>Nothing! Everything was perfect for us.

Nice to have a parking place . Enjoyed our stay
09/09/2022
Nice little house having a home from home feel. Good location with free parking.<br/><br/>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.

Excellent property only 10 to 15 minutes walk into the centre. Ample parking and quiet location. Highly recommend.<br/><br/>Extractor fan didn't work that's all in bathroom.
11/08/2022
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.<br/><br/>No dislikes we liked everything about the property and location.

Thank you for the wonderful short stay in Harrogate. It was a brilliant house to stay at and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Very tidy and clean, private parking. <br/><br/>10 mins walk to town centre, local takeaways nearby, all amenities close by. Excellent location for us.
07/07/2022
Location was fine.<br/><br/>Gate sticks, needs attention.
03/06/2022
Lovely one bedroom house - private parking space - small enclosed garden great for dog to sit in safely - great location - close to great places to take dog on walk
20/05/2022
Good quiet location about 12=15 min walk from the centre. Small and compact but has the essentials. A couple of head banging opportunities. I found the downstairs room a bit claustrophobic, but we didn't spend much time in the house - so no problem really. Upstairs is fine although the very comfortable bed is just a bit too big for the space.
16/05/2022
My wife and I stayed just for one night. We both really liked the house. Very clean, very cosy and in a nice location for exploring the town. I'd be happy to return if the chance arose.<br/><br/>I can't really think of anything that I didn't like. Even the garden was secure so that our dog could Potter about outside safely.
03/05/2022
I chose this property for it's location and because it had parking. The location was perfect. It was a 15 minute walk into the centre of Harrogate. We didn't need the car at all. The house was small, as described, but it was plenty big enough for the 2 of us. Everything we could have needed was provided. Finding a carton of milk in the fridge on arrival was a welcome surprise! I would recommend this property for a short stay in Harrogate, and have already recommended it to family and friends.
02/05/2022
Slightly smaller than expected but all the facilities were as described and in a perfect location for a 10 minute walk into Harrogate Town centre . A Chinese , pizza takeaway , pub and a corner shop a 2 minute walk away.
24/04/2022
Excellent place to stay.<br/><br/>Nice, clean and worth the money.

06/04/2022
The property was in a great location for us for walking into central Harrogate, visiting Harlow Carr Gardens, Knaresborough and also walking in The Dales.<br/>It was immaculately clean, well equipped, very comfortable and with secure off street parking. <br/>Would highly recommend it. Many thanks.
27/03/2022
Great little property with all the facilities you'd need. Comfortable bedroom, bathroom spotless and location ideal; I'll be staying again!

Stayed at the Limes, very comfortable. Ideally situated -lovely walk via The Stray into Harrogate centre. Brilliant for dog walkers. Pubs very near that served food.

The Limes is very cozy, comfortable, clean and a really nice place to stay. Communication was great and very helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Harrogate.

The property was well presented and equipped, with plenty of space.<br/><br/>There was a small but disconcerting leak when the shower was used, and pet hairs on the rug from a previous occupant.
25/10/2021
As i was staying for 17 nights i assumed there would be another set of bed linen. Also a few more towels .<br/><br/>The house was comfortable and the location great for walks with my dog and going into harrogate centre. Quiet and peaceful area and travelling on my own it felt safe. I enjoyed my stay.

Loved absolutely everything else. Well designed, clean, spacious, comfortable and a very quiet location for a busy business traveller. Also a short taxi journey from the city centre.<br/><br/>The shower tray drain was blocked so I was unable to use the shower

I didn't realise there was breakfast? <br/>There was UHT milk in the fridge and a fruit cake-I didn't realise this was for breakfast<br/><br/>Double bed comfy, but too small. <br/>Sofa very small, can't really fit two adults on it comfy. <br/>Knife in knife block was dirty.
