About Gallon House
Gallon House is a small bed and breakfast on Kirkgate, sometimes described as Knaresborough's smallest hotel, standing a short walk from the railway station and the High Street with views over the Nidd Gorge. Its scale is part of the appeal: this is a genuinely personal stay rather than a standardised one.
The three bedrooms are named for their outlooks — Castle View, River View and Station View — and all are en suite, furnished well beyond what the property's size might suggest. The house has been awarded Gold Standard status by the English Tourist Board and 4 Diamonds by the AA.
Breakfast and evening meals are prepared by the co-owner, a well-known local chef, and have earned the property the AA's 'egg, cup and pie' recognition for food quality. For visitors who want a quiet, food-focused stay with a genuine sense of place, Gallon House is hard to beat.
