This was a great apartment it was. a lovely place to stay and we would definitely stay here again. The lady who let the apartment was very helpful. She also left some very good food and a bottle of Prosecco.Thank you Karen.
Comfortable apartment. Owner was flexible regarding check in time and I was able to drop off and store my luggage before and after check in.
We had a comfortable stay.. Cygnet Apartment is in a great location. Everything was as described on the Rural Retreats website. The outside space - parking space and garden - allocated to the apartment was great.to have.
The apartment is very comfortable and well presented and is in an excellent location for walking in to Harrogate. The owner was very helpful and provided the most superb hamper of luxury local goods. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
Lovely apartment in a great area. Would have liked a dishwasher. Not very well equipped for glasses and teapot was broken. Comfortable beds and cosy lounge
Lovely apartment, very clean & warm, some thoughtful little extras. Ideally placed for shopping & sightseeing. Lovely beds & good bathrooms. Much nicer than the rental we had last year in East Witton.
This was a return stay at this luxuriously appointed, immaculately clean apartment. The location is perfect, only a four minute walk into the centre of Harrogate, but still really quiet at night. The welcome hamper is amazing, and the lovely host puts so much effort into providing everything you might need for your stay. It's also great to find off-road parking in Harrogate.
Every possible convenience provided, excellent location for the Harrogate conference centre. Parking a real plus. Even goodie box provided.
Very clean apartment and many items within contribute to retaining its character as part of an older building. Generous hamper but slightly limited kitchen facilities. Splendid quiet location with the centre of Harrogate and plenty of shops, restaurants and gardens within easy walking distance. A tour of the Royal Hall was one of our highlights. Helpful owners - we would book again,
Very comfortable, lovely house, parking outside door which was so good for anyone disabled. The location is great to visit Harrogate. Karen is an excellent host. Highly recommend.
Beautiful apartment with great consideration for detail. Wonderful location for traveling around. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Excellent accommodation, would be happy to go back.
Very conveniently situated for Harrogate town centre and Valley Gardens. Extremely comfortable, spacious, quiet and very well equipped flat. Welcoming host. Highly recommended.
Lovely apartment. Great location. Wonderful host - the attention to detail is perfect. I will definitely book again. Highly recommended.
I enjoyed a wonderful holiday in this sumptuous apartment. The hosts were helpful and welcoming, without being intrusive, and have gone to great lengths to provide everything you might need on a holiday. The welcome hamper was the most generous I have received, including a Betty's fat rascal, and a block of rich fruit cake. The apartment was beautifully decorated, with luxury soft furnishings, thick fluffy towels and locally sourced toiletries, and was spotlessly clean. It was located on a quiet road, but only a four minute stroll into the centre of Harrogate. On site parking was also a big bonus in Harrogate. You can walk to the train station in around eight minutes, and be in York in half an hour.
Everything was excellent.
Very clean, well maintained apartment; very hospitable owners; lovely welcome hamper; very comfy beds.
A beautiful apartment in a great location. Everything provided to make our stay most enjoyable. Driveway parking an added bonus. Thank you so much to the owner who was very helpful and left us a superb hamper. We would highly recommend a stay here.
A very comfortable apartment within easy walking distance of the town. Everything was comfortable, the bed, the sofas etc. Great to have a parking space too. An excellent hamper was there for us including 2 fat rascals from Betty's and a bottle of prosecco along with other essentials, which meant we didn't have to go shopping, a real bonus.

If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
