Sophie's B&B

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this bed and breakfast, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the cozy rooms to the delicious breakfast, every detail was attended to. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our delightful stay. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway.

I’ve just spent the weekend based at Sophie’s in the delightful little bustling village of Hampsthwaite on the edge of the Dales in Nidderdale. Next door is the thriving Joiners Arms with the friendliest happiest staff we’ve ever known in a pub (it was full watching the Six nations finale with England playing). It wasn’t a one off either ! The next night was a quiz night with a full house too. All the components one would wish to find in a thriving village community! Sophie also has the lovely well stocked village shop too. We stayed at Sophie’s (one in the Shepherds Hut out in the garden with views over the fields to the Nidd). It was surprisingly spacious and delightful! You venture out to the loo located with a lovely shower in the smaller hut next door. My only thought would be to have slightly taller chairs to match the height of the pull out table but understand why they’re small ! It was very relaxing & comfortable followed by breakfast in the coffee shop tea rooms which are a perfect place to enjoy the views of village life or relax into the comfy sofas. I don’t think I’ve ever met more relaxed easy going hosts who produced a lovely cooked breakfast and easy atmosphere which was great fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay located just a few minutes away from Harlow Carr RHS and Knaresborough/Harrogate Totally recommend a stay or a trip to the excellent quality Coffee Shop (which is light capacious & airy) or indeed Hampsthwaite itself to the Joiners Arms for lunch or dinner. Being from Kent I had forgotten how amazingly warm easy & friendly almost everyone we met were to us and made us feel so welcome & comfortable Thank you Sophie & Steve 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sophie’s B&B and coffee shop is lovely. We stopped for just one night, on our way to Northumberland. We would have loved to stay longer! Every aspect - the warm welcome, comfortable accommodation and superb breakfast - is top-notch. Highly recommended!

This Property is a place we both loved dearly and will definately return The whole place is stunning and the staff were ultra friendly and helpful Full marks Sophie thank you

Sophie and family are wonderful and we would stay again. Sadly on our last night there the guests in the next room started playing music loudly at 1am in morning and despite my best efforts I could not get them to hear me over the music so I could ask them to turn it down. Although absolutely not Sophie's fault it take the shine off the stay... it was why I marked the comfort down

Lovely area, quiet peaceful and super friendly pub close by. Great veggie breakfast in the morning. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer host than Sophie.

A delightful room in the eves of the property so up two flights of stairs with the private bathroom at the top of the first flight. The room was welcoming being full of natural light from the two huge windows in the roof and the bed was very comfortable. We left before breakfast was served at 9am but Sophie made us a delicious pack up to take with us. The local pub was a couple of minutes walk up the road, was very friendly and served good evening meals. All in all, a most enjoyable stay.

I discovered Sophie's because Harrogate was booked out and I'm so glad I did, it's a delightful place to stay in a quiet village and still within easy striking distance of Harrogate centre. I couldn't meet Sophie but we spoke on the phone and she was nothing but helpful and welcoming. Next time I'll try Sophie's 1st before I even look at Harrogate.

Comfy twin room, very suitable for overnight for event in Ripley. Excellent breakfast and took on board our gluten, and dairy-free needs.
