Carol

Clean, comfortable apartment in a great location. Loved the little extras such as the Nespresso coffee machine and Hotel Chocolat chocolates. Sky TV and Netflix a bonus. Good parking. Quick walk into town if you cut through the hotel grounds. Apartment is a basement apartment so is a little dark however if youre out for most of the day this hardly matters. As the weather was so glorious we spent a lot of time in the beautiful garden and even used the hot tub.

Robert

We had a fantastic time staying at The Orchid. I was a little apprehensive as the pictures look amazing and we were concerned that it wouldnt live up to them. But the place is very high end, spacious with passion and care from the owners clearly evident throughout. Its the most well equipped rental I have ever stayed in, youll want for nothing. The hot tub was a lovely way to start and finish the day in the beautiful gardens. The kids loved the place and well return in a heartbeat.

Scott

We had a great time staying at The Orchid. We travelled as two couples with 7 month and 15 month old babies so the location was perfect for us since it was only 5-10minute leisurely walk into Harrogate Centre. Harrogate itself has so many shops, bars & restaurants so plenty choice no matter what you are looking for. It is also very close to York wh ich is worth a visit (35 mins train journey). The property was spotless, spacious and very well resourced. Hosts so accommodating. Will be back again!

Laura

Stunning property with everything you need in a great location. We stayed here for a family celebration and made great use of the hot tub and barbecue. Owners were responsive and helpful. Would recommend a stay here.

Jennifer

Lovely apartment, well equipped & comfortable. It is conveniently located to explore Harrogate & beyond. Hot tub also a fab way to relax after a busy day of tourist activity!
