Lovely experience.
Quiet place to stay but short drive to all amenities if you need to.
Great facilities. Great connectivity with WiFi and tv etc. all mod cons but still with a comfy cosy cottage feel. Really enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.

Had a lovely peaceful break
Great views friendly and helpful staff. There was cake waiting for us when we arrived and fresh milk in the fridge. The cottage was really clean and well equipped. We all enjoyed the stay. It’s close to the centre of Harrogate and there are several really nice places to eat out if you prefer. Beds were comfy.

Amazing family memories
The cottage itself is lovely – so clean and spacious, ideal for a family. The kids loved the very cute touches of their personalized door sign and appropriate bedding – such a small touch but SO appreciated to make them feel at home. Both children loved the rocking horse out on the hallway landing too! We really had the best family holiday here with the best family memories and would thoroughly recommend – thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage and loved the bee themed furnishings! It had everything we needed, and was very clean, comfy and cosy. There was plenty of space for the four of us (plus our little dog) plus a great sized garden. It was also in an ideal location, as although it was quiet and peaceful on the site, we were only a few miles from Harrogate town centre and it was great for our visits to York and Knaresborough. Rachel, the owner, messaged me before and during our stay and the information provided on arrival at the cottage was very detailed and helpful. We were very grateful for the little extras provided, including some delicious cake, milk, and tea. We would definitely stay at Humble Bee again and would also recommend it to others. It’s just a shame we were only booked to stay for two nights on this occasion!

Absolute Perfection – easy check in, freshly made cake on arrival, brilliantly equipped kitchen, lovely hosts & site manager, CHICKENS!, gorgeous decor, spotlessly clean, comfy beds, great shower and a later check out. The most perfect setting for our girls get together, we will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you Rachel and team 🙂 xx

This place was amazing. I literally can’t fault anything. Beautiful, spacious and immaculately clean cottage. Lovely outside space to dine or enjoy the very peaceful location. Property has everything you need for your stay. Beds are very comfortable as is the sofa. Lovely fluffy towels. Location is within 10 minutes of Harrogate centre but feels very rural. There are many places to visit from this location within a reasonable distance and Rachel and Matt had provided several ideas for walks or outings or stuff to do with kids. The location is very safe for kids to play too.
We travelled with my 90 year old Mum and everything was very accessible for her. There were 3 steps inside the property but had a very low rise so Mum could manage them easily. Rachel and Matt were great for communicating and they also have a site manager, Mark, who was very friendly and accommodating.
We would definitely return to this Airbnb. First class.
