Bed and breakfast The Old Smithy

Lovely B and B in a very charming part of Knaresborough, such a beautiful spot.
Sarah is a warm and friendly host and we had everything we needed and more.
The room was very clean and cosy, there was plenty of tea, coffee, bottles of water, wine, crisps, sweeties, biscuits, toiletries and lots more.  Thank you Sarah

Being a coeliac I was especially happy that Sarah provided me with gluten free cereal (of my choice), gluten free bread, biscuits and treats.

I would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend the Old Smithy enough! The house is beautiful and overlooking a village green in a truely idyllic and peaceful location. The family room is simply delightful, with a small seperate bedroom off of it with a single bed and the bathroom is lovely too. The beds are super comfy and there are so many snacks and goodies in the room, from wine and posh biscuits and sweets for the kids to baskets of toiletries and spare reading glasses, should you forget!! Everything has been thought of, and there is a most extensive range of breakfast goodies, and lovely Sarah even went to the trouble of getting in my sons favourite breakfast food! Nothing is too much trouble for Sarah and Andy, who are such warm and friendly hosts, and they really spoilt my son Jack! Big thank you for a wonderful stay!

Sarah was the most welcoming host and couldn't do enough for us,  the room was lovely and clean and had plentiful of treats left in the room which was a nice surprise, it is in a lovely peaceful location and a short walk into Knaresborough, I would highly recommend this B&B to friends

There are no words available to describe the wonderful accommodations. The attention to detail in The Old Smitty was incredible! everything was perfect.  The cleanliness, the care!  WOW.  Everything was as it should be.  Sarah and Andy will go to the ends of the earth to make your stay the best. These are the finest Inn keepers in England.  In addition to that... Old Smithy is walking distance to Knaresborough   complete with great shops, entertainment and restaurants.  We will be back. If you book anywhere else, you will be making a mistake.  

A stay at The Old Smithy is a must if you travel to central England..... this is a 10 Star!

Both Donna and I thank you...Cheers.

Sarah is a fantastic host. She has an excellent attention to detail . Her hostess skills are above and beyond. The room is comfortable, very clean. The whole experience is personalised. Basically if you visit you can go wrong. We are sure to visit again .

Sarah was a most welcoming hostess. Our stay was above and beyond normal expectations. We were made very welcome with lots of lovely personal touches, such as our names imprinted in the toast and Ella having her name on her dog bowl. 
A very comfortable room with everything to make your stay relaxing and ensure a great nights sleep. I have never seen such a range of tea, coffee and biscuits offered.
We were given a beautifully cooked breakfast in the morning, no congealed baked beans or cold mushrooms here! Extras included  'dog and bone ' shaped melon pieces and more fresh fruit in the morning to make you smile.
We stayed for 3 nights and were given great suggestions of where to walk and visit. An easy to find yet quiet place besides a picture book village green. Plenty to do in Knaresborough and surrounding area, a real find. Thank you Sarah and Andy


Sarah runs a unique B and B in a quiet lovely part of Knaresborough (all of Knaresborough that we saw is lovely). The room was clean, very comfy, filled with teas, snacks and the things you might have forgotten but need. The bath is modern and stylish. Breakfast was unbelievably generous and delicious. Highly recommend.

Fabulous B&B, I can’t recommend it highly enough! Sarah, our hostess, was warm, friendly and amusing. The Old Smithy is a lovely house in a quiet part of Knaresborough called Scriven. The rooms are immaculate and very comfortable with lots of quirky and amusing items around. You are provided with water,wine, crisps, chocolate, tea and coffee to use as you please. The breakfast was pretty much whatever you wanted and all cooked beautifully, we even had a personalised good morning greeting on our toast, see picture. Excellent value for money.

Just got back from The Old Smithy, I very rarely review places but this stay was outstanding and I feel it deserves a mention. My dog Meggie had the best little holiday of her life. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely hostess and she really went the extra mile to make sure our stay was as lovely as possible. 
Bedroom was comfortable, clean and there were lots of lovely treats, I actually think I have come away a few pounds heavier. Meggie was treated like royalty and the breakfast was lovely. 
The only small thing to mention is the house is a little bit chilly especially first thing in the morning until the heating comes on just past 8am. If you are staying in winter take a snuggly jumper. 
I also have to apologise to the hosts as I believe Meggie left a parting gift in the garden that I absolutely meant to clear up in the morning but was distracted by the excitement of the lovely set up of the breakfast table. 
Thank you for a wonderful stay. 
Highly recommended.

As other people have mentioned, there are many free treats on offer but we were particularly pleased that Sarah went even further to make sure there were wheat/gluten free options as well (including our favourite fruit bars). We enjoyed the wine while watching Netflix! Breakfast was huge and varied including fresh fruit and and a great selection of preserves. Again, we really appreciated the wheat/gluten free items that meant we could both enjoy a full English (or should that be a full Yorkshire?). We felt very well looked after.
