Low Penhowe Bed & Breakfast York United Kingdom

What a fantastic break you have given us at Low Penhowe – beautiful surroundings, wonderful food and hospitality. You both were so friendly and welcoming – thank you very much indeed – you even laid on the weather! It was so helpful, too, the attention to detail in the planning and the help in booking and planning routes and pubs. We can’t thank you enough. Jane would like to commend the black pudding! We’ll be back!
Brian and Gill Skinner and Jane Marsh, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, July 2006

We can’t thank you enough for making our stay so very pleasant. From the time we arrived until we left we always felt welcome. Your hospitality and friendliness were over the top and the accommodation at Low Penhowe was the best. It was so nice to share you lovely house and gardens. Thanks also for the scenic route recommendations and taking care of our dinner reservations. The breakfasts were wonderful and plentiful. Your genuine concern and care are evident in the extra touches and attention to detail. We are blessed to have met you both and look forward to another stay.
P.S. I enjoyed gathering the eggs too. Ray and Shelia Geer, Kansas City, Kansas, USA, July 2006

A one night stay in this beautiful house is not enough. We will be back again to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of Philippa and Christopher (and have another fantastic breakfast!)
Graham and Jane Smith, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, July 2006

As we sit pondering what to write, we are aware of just how relaxed we have become over the last few days at Low Penhowe. What has been the receipe? Excellent quality of ingredients

2 super hosts
Outstanding food
Elegant surroundings
Beautiful scenic views
Mix all the above carefully with a liberal helping of repartee and humour, kept at an even temperature and allow it to rest. The results are a wonderful holiday to hopefully repeat in the future.
Marjorie & Alan Evans, Atherton, Manchester, July 2006

Many thanks for a wonderful relaxing break at Low Penhowe. Good breakfast and splendid views, couldn’t have asked for better hosts. We hope to visit again soon. Jonathan Bussell and Lucy, Yarm, Cleveland, July 2006

Having booked to see a concert at Castle Howard, it was necessary to find accommodation within the same locality. Using the internet we found the Low Penhowe website which was by far the most impressive. On reading past gusts comments we had no hesitation in booking. We have not been disappointed. Everything that Philippa and Christopher provided over our weekend stay was of the highest standard..
The Gold Awards are most certainly fully justified. We will look forward to a return visit.

We have completely unwound from our London jobs. Katherine says: “the beds were really comfy. I had fun getting the eggs from the chickens and seeing Maddi & Robin and ponies. Breakfast was good and the chess set cool”. Matthew says “The dogs were really nice and Tarka knows how to wag her tail enthusiastically”. We loved our stay on your lovely property in a “neat as a pin” house – though’ overshadowed by the geniality of our hosts. Thank you for having us. John, Elizabeth, Katherine and Matthew Durrell, currently living in London, March 2005 We will definitely not be entering you in the “Best B+B in the Britain Competition” for fear that we may never get another reservation after you’ve won! Thanks so much for your overwhelming hospitality. Mark Dorrington, Norfolk, March 2005 We can only say “what a beautiful place to stay”!!

Anroux Smit and Elizabeth Cillie, Cape Town, South Africa, March 2005 Excellent service, great breakfast, thoroughly recommended. Andrew and Anna Yeaman, Hull, East Yorkshire, March 2005 On a recommendation we come to the delightful home of Christopher and Philippa, their hospitality and attention to detail in creating an excellent B&B has set a standard which most B&B’s will find it hard to meet. We will most certainly pass on our recommendation to friends and family of this wonderful hidden treasure in Yorkshire. We eagerly look forward to our next visit. Sandra and Chris Watt, Isleworth, Middlesex, March 2005 We’ve stayed in many B&B’s but never as much of a pleasure as at Low Penhowe. Nothing could have been better!!
