“Perfect end to our holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here in July 2009, and it was perfect. Before arriving we were asked if we wanted to stay for the dinner in the evening however as my husband is allergic to nuts we declined the meal because the menu showed nuts in a few items. I wish we had just told them earlier as they said they would have changed the menu for us.

The breakfast was amazing, I tried the homemade black pudding which I normally hate but it was delicious and I haven't found a black pudding since which matches up to it.

There is a little balcony which you can sit at drinking tea (or something stronger should you desire) which over looks a lovely little river.

We have been saying we want to go back ever since and hopefully this year will be the year we make it!

“Perfection!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Me and my husband stayed at Gallon House last night, and it was amazing! We were welcomed in and shown around the house, the sun was setting as we arrived and the views were breathtaking. We both felt instantly relaxed from the moment we walked in, our room was beautiful, spotless, and lots of extra touches which is a nice surprise! We had an amazing evening meal, thank you, we felt totally spoilt. We had planned to have a wander to the local pub after tea, but didn't want to leave so curled up on the sofa in front of the fire for the night with wine and a endless supply of books,mags and music-perfect. Breakfast was also delicious. We will definatly return, and be recommending to our friends. Worth every penny and more.

“An excellent week-end break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

A very comfortable, friendly 3 night stay with an excellent breakfast, beautiful views and convenient for Harrogate, York (train £5ea), Ripley, Ripon and the surrounding area reached either by car, train or bus. We also celebrated our wedding anniversary, on the premises, with a delightful meal, cooked superbly by Rick and accompanied by a difficult choice from good selection of wines.

Room Tip: Best views but small room up 2 flights of stairs

“A Special Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We have just returned from two nights at Gallon House where we have been thoroughly spoiled. It is in the perfect spot overliiking the river and castle ruins but the house itself is full of character and warmth. Nothing is too much trouble and Ricks cooking is superb.
We will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.

Room Tip: If you don't mind climbing the stairs then the Castle View room was lovely.
