Harmony House Boutique B&B

I recently stayed at Willow Cottage, Harmony House B&B in Stillingfleet, York for four nights while working on a writing project, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better setting. The atmosphere—both inside the cottage and in the peaceful village surroundings—was incredibly calming. Being able to open the patio doors wide, breathe in the fresh air, and still enjoy privacy was a rare and refreshing gift. The cottage was thoughtfully stocked with complimentary treats, either homemade or from M&S—such a lovely touch, and I was assured I could have requested more if needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, making for deep, restful sleep each night. Most importantly, the environment allowed me to write with a clear, focused head. I was able to complete an entire manuscript during my stay—something I simply could not have achieved at home. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, a creative retreat, or just some quiet time to rest and recharge, I can't recommend Willow Cottage highly enough. It’s a hidden gem and a sanctuary for the soul.

We went for a girls lunch today in the lovely tea room. Lovely ambience. Attentive staff. The soup and cakes were amazing! Would fully recommended this beautiful tea shop/ cafe on the outskirts of York for a welcome stop off or somewhere to go for refreshments or lunch with friends, family, colleagues. We will be back!

We had a fantastic two night stay at Harmony House. The B&B was absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated and in located in the peaceful village of Stillingfleet. Our room was immaculately presented with all the amenities we could need for our stay. Adele is really a fantastic hostess. She goes above and beyond for her guests to ensure they have the best stay. I highly recommend her own lavender eggs for breakfast! 10/10, will absolutely be returning and recommending to friends.

We stayed here for two nights, what a fantastic place. The hotel isnt too far away from the park and ride if you want to use that to go in to York, the bus takes about 10/15 so wasn't long at all. On arrival we was welcomed with fresh tea and coffee and sweet treats, Hilary was very knowledgeable and offered us lots of advice on parking and places to visit. Our room was a nice size, very clean and perfect for us, tea and coffee facilities left in the were fantastic especially as it wasn't the little milk pots that I tend to run out of after a couple of cups of tea, we especially liked the fact that there was a mini fridge room so we could have cooled bottle, The bathroom was spotless with a large shower. I loved the decor of the room and fell in love the two seater in the room, this was so pretty. The breakfast at harmony house were fantastic, there was a great selection of fruit juices, cereals, fruit and pastries to help yourself to and cooked breakfasts, omelettes also available. We both had cooked breakfasts on both mornings - the scrambled eggs were amazing. Both Phil and Hilary are fantastic hosts and we will be returning in the future.

Beautiful place, in beautiful surroundings, we stayed in the cornflower room, it was perfect ! Our host Adele was lovely and nothing was too much trouble, breakfast was outstanding!! She even catered for gluten free it's the little things like this that make it special ! Really lovely stay and will definitely come back. Thank you Adele x

Just stopped 2 nights in November. Lovely bed and breakfast. We stopped in the Poppy room. Adele was lovely and could not do enough. Place was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was awesome in the Garden Room. Full English one day and eggs Benedict the next day. Tasted lovely. Toast too and preserves if you wish but we were stuffed. Room had an en-suite, again spotless, hairdryer for the missus, tea and coffee and a little fridge with some milk and locally sourced biscuits and handmade chocolates. That’s how to do a bed and breakfast. Great location. About 15 mins to park and ride into York.
