We stayed at Low Penhowe on a very cold and stormy December night. Chris welcomed us and we had tea and home made cake in front of a roaring open fire - it was really lovely. The house is beautiful with lovely period features, but also giving a very comfortable experience for guests. Chris and Phillippa were great hosts and... More

Thank you for such a fabulous review. It was a little stormy that night, however better than the previous year when we were snowed in! We were really pleased you were so happy with your short stay with us and the breakfast set you up for the day! More

We spent a great couple of nights at Low Penhowe: Christopher and Philippa were very friendly and attentive hosts and the 3 course breakfasts live up to all the hype and the awards. Especially good was Phllippa's specially cured York Ham with star anise, and we ended up buying armfuls of the locally produced Westow Honey to take back with... More

The Highland cattle are missing you feeding them apples! We were very pleased you both enjoyed your first visit to Yorkshire and delighted you selected Low Penhowe as your B&B. It sounds as if the breakfast and sepecially Philippa's York ham was a hit! We enjoyed your company and hope that you might venture back! More

Why would one traipse "half way around the world" to visit what is undoubdtedly one of the best B&Bs in Yorkshire and possibly in England? Simple, to experience "class" with a capital "C" From the moment one enters this B&B you are aware that you are "in for" a most memorable stay. Philippa and Christopher have a delightful house, exquisitely... More

Comfortable and spotless rooms, a relaxing log-fired sitting room with honesty bar, wonderfully tasty and varied breakfasts which sustain you till late afternoon, all coordinated by hosts who judge perfectly how to take an interest and be attentive without intrusion. Their detailed local knowledge informs not only their careful choice of succulent breakfast ingredients, but also their advice on places... More

Thank you for such a great review about Low Penhowe. It always a great pleasure to share our knowledge of the surrounding countryside and to tray and give our guests a different and very scenic route. It sounds as if you enjoyed our breakfast and it's good to know that you appreciated local sourcing of our breakfast menu. Thank you. More

A very good B&B indeed. A very warm welcome, comfortable beds, a lovely, big en suite bathroom and an excellent breakfast with everything either homemade/ grown/ reared or locally sourced. Nothing was too much trouble and we were given lots of assistance in arranging transport to and from York train station, as well as between the B&B and the wedding... More

Thank you for such a super review. It’s always great to know that our Low Penhowe Breakfast continues to be a success. We have spent a lot of time over the years to source more and more locally. In fact the food miles have really dropped over the years which support the local economy. We were delighted that the wedding... More

We have stayed at some lovely Bed and Breakfasts over the years but this has to be the best so far. The attention to detail is second to none and Phillippa & Christopher are wonderful hosts. Nothing is too much trouble - a real home from home experience. More
