2 Castlegate Reviews

Deborah
Gorgeous house in a fantastic location. Had all the quirks of an old house but with modern fittings. The kitchen equipment is very basic but being so central in Knaresborough with many great places to eat., we found ourselves not wanting to use the kitchen anyway. There are a lot of steep stairs in the house so would not recommend for anyone who would struggle. Owners were very friendly and dealt with an issue we had immediately.
Perfect location
