“A home from home at a great price!”

Reviewed 31 May 2013

I stopped over in the guest house for several weeks whist working over in Featherstone, and would recommend it to any other business men working in the West Yorkshire area, or any visitors for that matter! Carol and Tim were very accommodating from day one, and always a friendly and informative presence at breakfast. The bathrooms were spacious, clean and... More

“Excellent stop over for our day visit to York”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

We stayed in Tower House one night on the May bank holiday so we could visit York for the day on our way back from our holiday in the Dales. We could not have been luckier in our choice of b&b - it was spotlessly clean and the room we had was a good large size and the bed was... More

Many Thanks for your review, both Tim & I were pleased we could provide accommodation that ensured your holiday plans were fulfilled. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to Tower House. Many Thanks Carol. More

“Good value for money”

Reviewed 15 November 2012

Friendly, clean and welcoming. Nicely decorated rooms and delicious breakfast at a low cost. Free wi-fi and parking. Instead of staying in one of the big impersonal hotel chains this is a good option for any business traveller or tourist in the region.

Thank you for your appreciative words, I am pleased we can offer our facilities at a very affordable price especially when guests use our accommodation whilst on business and appreciate that our small guest house offers five star facilities at prices much less then 5 star hotels. I do hope we can welcome you again when you visit the UK.... More
