Kirkgate House - A 17th-century guest house with locally sourced breakfast, en suite rooms, and river views
Occupying a 17th-century building on Kirkgate, this 3-star guest house features light and airy en suite rooms with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and free WiFi. A breakfast menu at Kirkgate House includes locally sourced sausages from Elite Meat of Harrogate, scrambled eggs with salmon, and vegetarian options, served in the light and pretty dining room between 7:00 and 9:45. The superior double bedroom offers partial views of Knaresborough Castle, while the courtyard-facing standard double overlooks the medieval street. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the River Nidd, where guests can enjoy boating under the viaduct. Nearby landmarks include Mother Shipton's Cave (0.5 km) and Knaresborough Market (0.5 km). Leeds Bradford Airport is 25 km away.
Pros
Locally sourced breakfast with award-winning sausages and vegetarian or vegan options.
Rooms feature en suite shower rooms, free WiFi, and flat-screen TVs.
The central location provides quick access to riverside walks, boating, and historic landmarks like Knaresborough Viaduct.
Cons

Partial views in some rooms may not overlook major landmarks.
“Kirkgate House impresses with exceptionally welcoming hosts and thoughtful touches, like fresh milk and well-stocked tea trays; its location near the train station and town makes getting around effortless. The breakfast is a real highlight, freshly cooked to order. I'd certainly recommend it.”
