The Franklin

This is a lovely little guesthouse with friendly, welcoming hosts, clean and comfortable rooms, and a great location for all the amenities. The breakfasts were the best we've had anywhere. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Harrogate.

Wonderful stay-nothing is too difficult for the hosts! Great room (mine was the single which had everything I needed) and perfect location for the conference centre and town. The breakfast was delicious-amazing menu and so tasty! Also appreciated the lounge with the bar. Definitely will be returning!

We have just got back from staying at The Franklin for a couple of nights. Felicity & Dan can not do enough for you. They are friendly & welcoming and make sure dietary needs are met. They even left a little treat in our room after finding out it was our anniversary ❤️. The b&b is ideally situated, it's a couple of minutes walk from restaurants and about a 7 min walk from the town centre. We will definitely recommend staying here and look forward to staying with them again.

What an absolutely wonderful place! A total gem! The owners were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble! The room was lovely, immaculately clean and in a fabulous location, walking distance to the bars, shops and restaurants! Breakfast was a thing of wonder as the owner is a Chef, and it showed! Delicious , hot and quality ingredients made it the best breakfast I have had in a long time! We tried to book again whilst we were there but unfortunately it was fully booked and i can totally see why! Would go again in a heartbeat x

Dan and Felicity made us feel welcome throughout our 2day stay. Tge room was immaculately clean and tge little touches that are apparent as you look around the property give truth to the fact that they are two people who care and genuinely want to give you a home from home experience. Close to the centre of Harrogate it’s perfectly located to enjoy this beautiful Yorkshire gem which is ideal for a short stay or longer! Can’t praise it highly enough or the care and attention to detail that’s been afforded in making a visit a memorable event!

Lovely B&B with very friendly and helpful hosts. Dan and Felicity couldn't do enough for you. We stayed for 2 nights in a lovely room. Very comfy bed, good shower and very clean. Breakfasts was really tasty and well cooked or good cereal and pastry options with home made jam. Fresh milk and water were in the fridge in room along with tea, coffee and biscuits when we arrived. The Franklin is in a great location, 5 minutes walk to shops and bus and train stations. A nice Greek and a fish restaurants are very close by and a cosy pub is just down the road. Would highly recommend the Franklin. Lyn, Liverpool.

We visited The Franklin in early March 2024 and had a lovely stay. Felicity greeted us, showed us round and sorted us out with a parking permit. We stayed in Room 2 which used the space really well and was warm and cosy. The bed and pillows were super soft. Vegan milk and snacks were provided. Dan's breakfast was delicious with veggie and vegan options provided. It was about a ten minute walk in to town, close to lots of bars and restaurants. We couldn't have asked for more and if we're back in the area would definitely stay again.

Writing this at the bay window alcove of The Franklin’s breakfast room. Small, family-run business, wonderful hosts in Daniel and Felicity, brilliant central location with easy, free on-street parking, cozy room with a great bed, powerful, hot shower and the best full English, sorry, Yorkshire I’ve had in a hotel for many moons…God, what else do you want? A brilliant stay and fantastic value. Delightful people, delightful venue.

Absolutely fantastic few days spent at The Franklin. Rang to say we had arrived early (roughly 30 mins) and would it be ok, to find we were actually two days early 😂! Dan was unflappable and sorted us out. The room was comfortable, spotless and toasty! Tea and coffee with a mini fridge and fresh milk. Bathroom and shower brilliant with huge soft towels, soap and shower gel/shampoo. Full Yorkshire breakfast was filling, plenty of tea/coffee, juice and toast which set us up for the day. Other options available but we were more than happy with the fry up! Good local knowledge filled our two full days and the location was perfect for our needs. The Franklin and Harrogate are definitely on our to do again list. Thanks again to both Dan and Felicity!
