Sophie's Bed and Breakfast

This has to be the best place I have ever stayed. There are not words good enough to describe how good my stay was. The host is so friendly and accommodating. Bend over backwards to help. All the staff are wonderful as well. Breakfast is all local produce and tasted amazing and fills you up. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Lovely views from massive back garden. Very easy to find the location as well. Highly recommended!!!!!!

We stayed for 2 nights in this lovely accommodation. It is just a few miles outside Harrogate in a pretty, quiet village. There is a bus stop a few steps away if you want to leave the car for a day in Harrogate. Sophie owns the village deli and mini market as well as this bed and breakfast facility as part of a cafe and bakery. Locals pop in during the day for her lunches, coffees and freshly baked cakes. She is a welcoming, friendly and helpful hostess. Her large house also has a big garden with areas for relaxation and there is no problem with easy parking. Our room was a twin , light and comfortable with a large bathroom, effective heating and a powerful shower. The whole cafe breakfast menu is on offer in the morning for guests and Sophie will provide different choices if you request something. Wifi works well. The accommodation is next door to an old pub which serves good value and delicious food, sourced locally. The only improvement I might suggest is to provide a full length mirror in the bedroom!

We stayed in the Double room with a view to die for! It was cosy and had everything you need. The staff were so lovely and friendly and Breakfast was just right! We would definitely stay here again, only thing was, we didnt have a couple more nights !

Excellent, clean room with a comfortable bed and a great view over open country side out of the windows. Breakfast also first class.

We stayed at Sophie’s B&B for 4 nights. She was charming and very friendly and helpful. The room had a wonderful view out over the countryside. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

We originally tried to book Sophie's B&B for Friday and Saturday, the 11th and 12th of July 2025, while attending the Great Yorkshire Show. Unsurprisingly, due to the popularity of the event, the main accommodation was fully booked. However, Sophie was incredibly helpful and offered us the alternative of staying in the on-site shepherd’s hut. Admittedly, we were initially hesitant about this option. When we arrived—after spending the hottest day of the year at the show—the hut was extremely warm as the windows had not yet been opened. We aired it out by leaving the windows and doors open while we visited the nearby Joiners Arms (very friendly pub). By the time we returned, the temperature inside had settled and was much more comfortable. We noticed that a top sheet was missing from the bed, but after texting Sophie, she responded promptly and the sheet was waiting for us when we got back from our evening out. The hut itself was a pleasant surprise—spacious, thoughtfully equipped, and very comfortable. The bed was excellent, and amenities included a fridge, kettle, tea and coffee, a TV with a selection of DVDs, and a lovely private outdoor seating area with stunning views. Although the rope separating the public area from our private space was missing on arrival, Sophie quickly noticed and reinstated it. The separate private bathroom was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The only issue we encountered was the inability to lock the bathroom door, but Sophie assured us that a locksmith would be called to resolve it. Breakfast was included in our stay and was absolutely superb. While tempted by the Olympian breakfast (a larger portion), we found the regular breakfast more than sufficient. Ingredients were of excellent quality and cooked fresh to order. Steve, Sophie's partner, took our breakfast orders and was attentive with tea and coffee top-ups. Despite our initial reservations about staying in the shepherd’s hut, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book it again. A small welcome pack with local recommendations might enhance the experience further, but overall, Sophie went out of her way to ensure we had a pleasant stay—nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area, especially during busy periods like the Great Yorkshire Show, we will definitely be returning, and staying in the hut again.

We’ve been staying here for a number of years on our annual trip to the Great Yorkshire Show. It’s a perfect location in a small beautiful village setting. Sophie is the most fabulous hostess, friendly and kind and so welcoming. We have stayed in the shepherds hut and the B&B twin room and rate both very highly. Breakfast, coffee and cakes are delicious and I even have Sophie’s wonderful cook book at home. I can highly recommend staying and we will look forward to returning next July. Thank you Sarah & Nick

Beautifully prepared and presented room. Very quiet. An amazing breakfast.

Great stay at Sophie’s! Very clean room, with a lovely deep bath and fresh milk provided for drinks. Delicious cooked breakfast included served by a friendly professional team. Great village location; we would be very happy to stay here again.
