Chevin End Guest House

Fabulous location - 360° views of beautiful Yorkshire countryside. The room is huge! A small hallway for muddy boots and coats, very comfortable bed, lots of pillows, a sofa, a dining table + chairs, a dressing table and a hanging wardrobe. Big bathroom too, great shower, would be 10/10 perfect if hand basin had a mixer tap. Lots of parking. Very very quiet - zero vehicle traffic noise, zero human traffic noise. I highly recommend this place. Nicky was a lovely host, warm and friendly, her reception and the look of the place gave my short break a wonderful start.

The lady owner was friendly and helpful, recommending a local pub for a Sunday lunch and a pub to watch the England match. The meal we had was excellent and a good find. It was at The Royalty on York Gate, about 2 miles from the B & B. Good beer and the biggest Yorkshire Pudding I've ever had. The B & B itself is located on the side of a hill with stunning views over the Wharf Valley. There is a Country Park close by (Chevin Country Park) for walks and rambles, and the town of Otley (with a Sainsbury's and Waitrose) is about 1.5 miles away. We went to Harewood House and the Emmerdale Village Set while we were there -both 20 minutes away. The accommodation is in two blocks. We stayed in room 11, which was part of a courtyard development.. The room was a family room and roomy and comfortable, with a large wet room comprising walk in shower toilet and sink. Everything was clean, well maintained and the room was warm (the weather was unseasonably chilly), with the usual drinks making facilities and a small table to eat meals at if needed. You could park your car right next to the accommodation so no long walk to get to your room. Breakfast was taken in the main building which was a short uphill walk from our room. Nothing revolutionary, just cereal, juice and a hot and wholesome English (with a vegetarian option if preferred). You could have a 'breakfast basket' in your room if preferred.

An exceptionally warm and friendly welcome to a clean, tidy and well-run guest house. The rooms are spacious (without being cavernous), very clean and contain all the expected amenities. The view from the window and the outside balcony is exceptional. We particularly liked that all the bed linen and towels are spotlessly clean white and I have never slept as soundly on a bed that wasn't my own 🙂 A full English breakfast is available in front of a roaring log fire in the dining room and other breakfast options are available.

Room itself was excellent. Nice size, well furnished. Clean and tidy. However... We paid extra for luxury room with balcony, but this was just a bit of decking outside the room, shared with other rooms. In addition, its location within the property was not what we expected. Room felt "tacked on" near property entrance and nearby pub car park. Group of (non luxury) rooms lower down property appeared more secluded from main road and carpark.

Location was perfect! So peaceful. Warm welcome from the owner and our room was lovely. Bed so comfy. The patio doors opened onto a decking area where we sat sipping wine and watching the sunset . We were visited by the lovely cows outside our room the next morning which was an added bonus. 😊Full cooked breakfast was delicious too.
