Kirkgate House in Knaresborough, England

Each room has a spacious en suite shower room and daily housekeeping included. The hospitality tray provides Yorkshire tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, and a chocolate bar. A fridge on the landing supplies fresh milk and bottled water; hypoallergenic bedding is on all beds.

Breakfast includes locally sourced award-winning sausages from Elite Meat of Harrogate, scramble eggs with salmon, and vegan and vegetarian options. Guests pre-order from a breakfast card and choose a time slot so food is served fresh. The hosts use eggs from their son's hens and provide a hearty full English with cereal and toast choices.

Hosts offer early check-in when available and luggage storage on departure day. On hot days a fan is provided upon request, and the breakfast room has a log fire in colder months.
