    We have stayed at lot's of good bed and breakfasts, but Ellerton lodge tops them all.Shirley and Nigel greeted us on arrival with tea and scones .Great start!! Nothing is to much trouble and you can tell they both take great pride in making your stay the best they can.The room we stayed in was fabulous, with wonderful views.Breakfast was exceptional and the personal touch they give to everything is a credit to them both. We've never stayed anywhere so peaceful and quiet and just a short drive in the the lovely town of Richmond. Thanks for a great stay. Phi n Deb.

    Everything was fantastic. Roger and Shirley were very welcoming. Room was beautifully appointed. Breakfast was great. Very homely feel to the B&B. Fantastic country views from the bedroom. Very personal approach from Roger and Shirley who clearly make every effort to make your stay special. It felt like we were staying with family. Would definitely return again if travelling to the Dales.

    We can 't find anything that can be improved!

    We had a fantastic holiday at this splendid B&B! Ample and delicious breakfast (vegetarian was no problem!), spacious and clean room, coffee and tea facilities in the room, fantastic hosts who made you feel at home immediately at arrival with tea and homemade cake, and... an unforgettable view!!! Ellerton Lodge was for us the perfect base to visit the whole area of the Yorkshire Dales, during our 8-night stay. Can't be improved!

    It was all excellent.

    Location is outstanding. Set amongst hills and the River Swale runs nearby so you can here it with your bedroom window open, as well as the black faced sheep calling. Beautifully furnished house, pretty bed linen, comfortable bed, immaculately clean, and large bathroom. Lots of choice for breakfast, fresh fruit selection, yogurt, toast and choice of cooked full breakfast, including vegetarian/vegan. Our host, Shirley, is genuinely interested in her guests and gave us homemade cake and tea in guest living room on arrival. Wonderful.

    Nothing. It's perfect.

    We thought about giving a bad review for Ellerton Lodge so that when we decide to return we will find it easy to get a room. But we cannot. This is by far the best guesthouse we have ever stayed in. If we could have, we'd have given more than an 'exceptional' rating. It is that good. Shirley and Nigel made us feel so at home as soon as we arrived and we soon felt as if we were part of the family. The Lodge itself is just so clean, comfortable, relaxing and full of charm that we did not want to leave. It is located in beautiful countryside about 10 minutes drive (1.5 hour scenic walk across hill and dale) from Richmond, along a quiet country road. 15 minute walk across fields to the local pub (The Bolton Arms, Downholme) with great food. The view from our bedroom (called ‘Foxglove’) was just awesome. But even better is the fantastic walled garden they have created. It is magical and we were so pleased to spend a sunny afternoon with Shirl and Nige talking life past and present, the world, and all sorts of stuff with plenty of laughs. Special mention needs to be made of ‘The Lookout’. Nigel’s masterpiece of engineering in the corner of the garden. Absolutely great to sit up there with him and talk men nonsense. Breakfast was superb, and BIG THANKS must go to Shirley for including the special purchase of Marmite. Shirley and Nigel have created a wonderful, relaxing oasis which beautifully reflects their friendliness and warmth. Thank you both ever so much for making our stay with you so enjoyable and memorable. Beware Shirl and Nige: we will return !!!

The room was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was the same. Shirley and Nigel were perfect hosts nothing was too much trouble. We had the most loveliest honeymoon. Thank you Shirley and Nigel. We came as strangers and left as friends. xx
