Beautiful town, plenty of variety. Great shops and lovely parks and green areas. Plenty of places to eat and all great quality, spoilt for choice. Can highly recommend the Taverna for excellent Greek food.

A great northern town filled with shops and places to eat and drink. Lots of independent shops and plenty of the retail chains too. Many good bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Betty's is a must, we went at about 10:30am and got in without having queue. Harrogate is a place for the well heeled, I have never seen so many Porsches per square mile anywhere else in the UK.

Harrogate is the place where people, from Yorkshire, go to have a short stay. If the locals go there, you know its going to be great. Of course you have your usual tourist traps, and visiting areas, but if you look around you can, easily find fantastic micro breweries, eateries, galleries, and shops to browse. Everything is a short walk away You cannot fail, to notice how clean tidy, and well managed Harrogate is, and its a credit to all who are involved in this thankless and forgotten task. Everyone is Friendly and chatty, when not busy. Wide selection of shops Regular train and bus service, lots taxis as well All the other Villages as cities, are indeed less than an hour by train, in most cases. also a walkers, and cyclists paradise. We recommend you use the smaller coffee and tea shops, because the tea and coffee pots are bigger, as are the super sized scones with jam and cream, or cake slices, and home made sandwiches, certain other outlets are not quite so generous, lets say, make you que for nearly an hour, charge 3 times as much, rush you out the door, and frankly, are there through novelty rather than value for money! However if you have never been, to these local tourist traps, the experience is what you are paying for, of course. Absolutely loads of eateries, all average priced, but search around and you can find some decent food a little cheaper but without the loss of quality, and indeed quantity, best to eat at normal home tea times, we watched people being turned away because the places we ate in, filled up or got booked fast.

Harrogate is the smartest, cleanest town Iv'e ever been in. Loads of green spaces, loads of very smart independent shops, lots of different places to eat and drink I recommend The Taverna (Greek). and the biggest and smartest Weatherspoon's in the country. Lots of interesting local history Overall Brilliant!

Lovely small spa town in North Yorkshire which maintains some of its regency charm. There are still independent and characterful shops. Lots of green parks & gardens, plenty of good restaurants/eateries of all types and levels, including the famous Betty's. Similarly good hotels. guest houses & rental accommodations. RHS Harlow Carr 1 mile out of town is superb any time off year and has a lovely Betty's Tea Room. (access before garden entry) . Easy access to lots of other places or quick train to York.

Most of all, the friendliness and kindness of the locals. It has lovely green spaces and parks, interesting and historic buildings (The Royal Hall is particularly magnificent). Great food - we ate dinner at our hotel, The Crown, and The Cattlemen's, and Gianni's - all were excellent. Good for shopping - individual speciality shops such as Woods of Harrogate, and Duttons, being two I sought out as their high quality goods and extensive range are not easy to find even in the vastness of London; as well as the usual high street chains. Close to Knaresborough, Ripon, the dales, and much more we didn't have time to visit. We'll just have to go again.
