Guests say
The Sun House in Knaresborough is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, beautiful gardens, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from hosts Mark and Fiona and the property's proximity to Yorkshire attractions. While most reviews are positive, noting the cottage's comfort and charm, a few guests have mentioned issues with heating and kitchen facilities.
Guests consistently mention that The Sun House is very clean, with numerous reviews highlighting the spotlessness of the property. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.
The property's location is frequently praised for being peaceful and well-situated for exploring Yorkshire. However, the closure of a nearby pub mentioned in one review slightly impacts the perfect score.
Comfort is generally well-received, with mentions of cosy settings and underfloor heating. However, one review citing issues with the heating system and cold temperatures suggests room for improvement.
While many guests find the cottage well-equipped, there are several criticisms regarding kitchen facilities, heating controls, and a lack of instructions, which suggests that some aspects of the property require attention.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the hosts' thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

It is a lovely cosy cottage with so much character. The gardens are really nice to relax in, and it is ideally placed for exploring the Dales, towns and villages of Yorkshire. The hosts made us very welcome, and were most kind and helpful.
