We had a lovely long weekend break at this cottage. The owner and her family made some very nice personal touches which enhanced our stay. The cottage is very well equipped and a convenient location with quick access to Harrogate and Knaresborough not that far away. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a fabulous break. Really cosy cottage. Well equipped kitchen and delighted to arrive to fresh milk, teabags and cake! Accommodation was homely - not too perfect, so we cold properly relax without worrying about where we put our mugs of tea or glasses of wine. Loved it!

We loved our stay! It felt like a holiday and wed love to come back. There is so much to explore around Harrogate and the cottage felt like coming home at the end of each day. Apart from the welcome dog treats in a bowl and the doggy icecream in the freezer there was no sign that this property where dogs stay. It was clean and homely.

We had a most enjoyable stay at Humble Bee cottage. It was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. the cottage is in a beautiful setting and the owners were easy to contact and welcoming but unobtrusive. The home made apple tart and cream on arrival was a real treat! Would recommend.

Fabulous as I knew it would be having stayed previously. The cottage is a complete home from home, including a washing machine and dishwasher. Nothing is missing. The owners are great. Not only is the cottage clean and tidy with every home comfort, they also provide some items that other places maybe wouldn't-hand soap, washing liquid, dishwasher tRead moreablets, tea towels, dishcloth/pan scrubber, fresh eggs, milk, tea and sugar and a scrumptious home-made sweet treat.
