Guests that stayed at this property said
The property has received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found it clean and well-presented, others reported issues with mould, a musty smell from the washing machine, and a lack of bin collection. These concerns suggest room for improvement in this area.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Harrogate's centre, local shops, and transport links. However, the property fronts a busy road with no stopping outside, which was a minor inconvenience for some guests.
Guests have commented on the comfortable beds and the cosy atmosphere of the cottage. The presence of a game room and a hot tub added to the comfort, despite some issues with the hot tub's condition.
Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and streaming TV service were appreciated, but there were several maintenance issues reported, such as problems with the shower temperature, a mouldy washing machine, and a wasp nest. These detracted from the overall quality of the facilities.
The owners' thoughtfulness was evident in gestures like providing milk in the fridge upon arrival. However, as such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property
3 Glendowne Terrace, a charming, two-bedroom abode is nestled in the heart of the picturesque town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. This wonderful terraced holiday home benefits from a fabulous setting, paces away from all the amenities and attractions in Harrogate, a rear courtyard, a stylish and welcoming interior and two beautifully-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for couples, friends or families looking to explore the wonders of North Yorkshire. Cross the threshold into your new-home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can pamper your partner with a delicious meal or whip up a tasty treat that the whole family can enjoy around the dining table. Later, snuggle up on the plush sofas in the living/dining room and flick on the Smart TV to browse the array of films available while the gas fire warms your feet, a treat after a day full of exploration! When the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to wash off the day’s adventures in the sleek bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either the double or twin room. The property lies in an ideal location to explore all that Harrogate has to offer, venture into the heart of town to treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen at pubs like Hales Bar, Alexandra or the Harrogate Arms; you can also find local shops where you can pick up essentials for your self-catered stay. Be sure to pay a visit to the iconic Betty’s Tea Room to indulge in a traditional afternoon tea before enjoying a leisurely stroll through Valley Gardens which houses the unique and beautiful Japanese Garden or immerse yourself in the area’s history at The Royal Pump Museum; the brave among you may even take on the Harrogate Ghost Walk! Other nearby, must-see attractions include Old Mother Shipton’s Cave in Knaresborough, the breath-taking 14th-century Ripley Castle and Stockeld Park where the kids can burn off some energy on the amusements available there. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is a short scenic drive away providing endless opportunities for walking, hiking and cycling through beautiful terrain as well as a plethora of outdoor activities for the whole family. Make unforgettable memories at 3 Glendowne Terrace.
The attractive spa town of Harrogate is famous for its acres of immaculate gardens, open spaces, elegant architecture and broad tree-lined boulevards. Once one of the most fashionable spas in Europe, the town continues to draw visitors from far and wide to its excellent shopping and restaurants and renowned conference centre. The countryside around Harrogate is outstandingly beautiful with Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the North York Moors to the east. Close by there are many major attractions including Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden (National Trust) and the historic houses of Norton Conyers and Newby Hall & Gardens. However many visitors will be more than happy to enjoy a day in the town itself - walking in the Valley Gardens followed by afternoon tea at Bettys, the town's world-famous tea rooms.

Firstly, the âoff-roadâ parking as described in the description is not off road at all, it is street parking and a few minute walk up the street from the front door. This made unloading the car very difficult as the back gates are bolted shut! Upon entering the house, the smell of cleaning products was quite strong which we werenât too bothered about because we thought, at least we know itâs been cleaned. However, when getting things out of the cupboards or drawers to eat with or drink with, everything had to washed first as they were all still dirty from the previous stay or stays :-/ the dishwasher did not work and is labelled do not use, when reading the guest book this seems to have been a longstanding issue that hasnât been fixed but it is still advertised, same with the washing machine, broken and couldnât be used but still advertised. Then, the bathroom. The shaving mirror at the side of the sink was covered is splats of toothpaste from whoever was in before us. The bath had hairs in and the toilet seat has a very suspicious stain at the back of the seat. My other half, being very particular, had to go buy some sponges to clean everything down before we felt like we could relax which took a couple of hours out of the first day we were there. There was still left over food in the freezer from the previous stay. The cupboards were not clean enough to put things in so we just wiped the sides and kept everything out. The WiFi doesnât reach the games room on the top floor so if you are like us with the idea of bringing a PS4 etc for a games night, think again. There is a PS3 up there but only with very old retro games (this was a nice touch). Other than everything above, we had a nice stay and made the most of it given we were disappointed weâd paid so much. The hot tub was nice, a little cold but it didnât smell as the guest book mentioned and the water was blue as you would expect. Although the slippers on the way in is a nice touch, they should at least be new or clean. They were stained with what looks like fake tan and the other pair had black marks on the soles. The description states that towels are included with the stay, meaning we didnât pack any. To then find that one 1 towel each had been provided, I understand that we are only there for 2 nights so 1 towel would seem acceptable. However when Iâve used the towel to getting out of the hot tub, I donât want to be using the same towel 3 hours later when I get out of the shower. The shower head is shocking, the water pressure isnât the best which is evident but even me as a bloke couldnât get a shower with that shower head, thereâs no power and the water trickles out. Itâs a case of having to get a bath, and even then, depending on what side of the fence you sit on, you donât feel clean after a bath. The kitchen is well equipped for making meals. There are instructions everywhere, for everything other than the oven which seems to hard to understand given that the markings have worn away but we figured it out eventually. The heating is easy to use, I like that the TV is a smart TV and you can login to your own accounts. The bed in the master is really comfy and the lamp with the usb ports is a nice touch. There is an Aldi over to road which is handy. The centre is within walking distance or a 10 minute car journey. Overall we have had a good weekend but still quite disappointed that we paid so much.

You might want to clarify where future guests are able to park their cars, but it really didn't cause us a problem at all. Very well equipped kitchen! Very comfy beds! A corner shop just a couple of dorrs down and a supermarket over the road! Would definitely return.
