Welcome to Gallon House!

Uniquely situated at the heart of historic Knaresborough, overlooking the river Nidd, the viaduct and Knaresborough Castle, Gallon House offers award winning bed and breakfast accommodation and delicious locally sourced food.

Guest accommodation at Gallon House is recognised to be the very best ‘small but special accommodation’ in Yorkshire by Yorkshire Life magazine, and ‘a very special place to stay’ by Alistair Sawday publications.

Owned by well-known Yorkshire Chef Rick Hodgson, Gallon House offers mouth-watering seasonal dinner menus and freshly prepared Yorkshire breakfasts. Guests agree that a highlight of a stay at Gallon House is ‘the most delicious food I have eaten for years’!

In Alastair Sawday's book, Go Slow England, Gallon House is recognised for embracing the Slow Movement, which is ‘born of a renewed regard for the simple pleasures in life. Slow Food celebrates meals prepared with love and consumed at leisure’

In June 2008 we were delighted to be awarded Runner Up in The AA’s Friendliest Landlady of the Year Competition! This is an award made by the Inspectors for guest accommodation which offers ‘genuine warmth and friendliness in a home from home setting’.

‘We aim to go the extra mile for all of our guests by offering exceptional levels of service; Being a finalist in this competition represents wonderful recognition for us and our endeavours to achieve both professional and friendly standards of service at Gallon House’
