Welcome to our renovated French King
Our French King is significantly better than it has ever been. It remains room no.9 on the second floor - in almost every other respect, it’s very different, and enormously better.
View the room gallery below.
Welcome to our Oriental King
Our room 10 on the second floor, formerly known as ‘Nidderdale King’, has undergone a major upgrade and design transformation - so much so, that we think we can justify a rename: it’s now to be known as the Oriental King.
The room has multiple nods to Eastern art, fabrics, furniture and lighting. A beautiful mahogany wardrobe will be installed shortly. View the room gallery below.
”Pure Bliss with a Touch of Luxury
Wonderful stay. My room (Jade, room 2) was splendid. Beautifully and tastefully furnished and decorated with attention to the finest details. High quality fixtures and fittings was the theme throughout the establishment. I’ve booked to come again.
Patrick and Nick are fantastic hosts and really deliver a high quality experience. The location is easy walking distance to the centre of Harrogate and in a lovely part of town. There are superb restaurants near by so you are spoilt for choice. You get what you pay for and this is worth it.

“A Harrogate gem…
I would challenge anyone to find a more comfortable, welcoming and totally enjoyable place to stay in Harrogate.
We were treated like celebrities by Nick and Patrick from minute one. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was spacious, spotless and with a beautiful decor. Breakfast was just how we like it - delicious and ample.
We will definitely return.”

Understated Luxury
”Perfection…
We had the most wonderful stay at Baytree house. The room was clean, comfortable and styled extremely tastefully.
The hosts are fabulous. Welcoming, entertaining and also paid great attention to detail in their observations and conversations.
I felt completely relaxed during the stay, which is not something that I always am. This was down to how free flowing Baytree house was to stay. Good vibes!
Definitely recommend 💯fabulous break…”
