We lived in Otley until 2005 and booked into Dowgill House for two nights (12 & 13 April) for one of our return visits to catch up with some family and friends. Whilst we were aware of Dowgill House, we hadn't stayed here previously. On arrival, we were made to feel very welcome by Tim & Helen. The room was... More

I stopped in Dowgill house for one evening after a hard days work and choosing to meet up with an old friend in Otley. Tim the proprietor was courteous and welcoming explaining everything and making me feel welcome. It was soon off around Otley for the delights of the ale houses. The room was clean, well presented with en-suite. Breakfast... More

We booked into Dowgill house for the weekend of 15/16th March which was just awful weather. The snow started on the Friday morning & by the time we got there on Friday afternoon it was coming down hard. This didn't matter though as we were made very welcome by Tim & Helen & shown to our lovely warm room. The... More

Lovely little B&B - can't fault it! Warm welcome and lovely spacious room with everything you might need. Huge and very comfortable bed - stylish room without being over the top. Breakfast was again just what we wanted - a delicious full english, although other options were available.

I stayed for 3 nights in this wonderful B & B as an alternative to a Leeds airport hotel. Dowgill House is in the centre of Otley with every amenity including convenient bus routes which meant I did not have to hire a car. The house has been refurbished sympathetically but has retained many of it's Georgian features, so much... More

We stayed for one night in December to visit family, en route to our secret wedding in Gretna Green! Fabulous B&B. Gorgeous room & comfortable bed, every need catered for! Helen & Tim very nice, allowed us to store our bags with them when we arrived earlier than expected. Excellent breakfast, would definately stay again & recommend. Reasonably priced drinks... More

What a perfect B&B in a lovely town. The guest house was exceptionally clean, well decorated and comfortable with very attentive hosts. There was a good selection for breakfast, fresh fruit, yorgurt, cereals, and of course a full english for those with a hearty appetite. Again the quality was excellent. We will definitely return and recommend to others.

Had a wonderful two night stay with our two young children. Helen and Tim were extremely welcoming and totally geared up to accommodate our young toddler. The house is steeped in history and Tim is more than happy to share his fascinating knowledge. The house is tastefully decorated, spotless, the beds were comfy, and the breakfast was superb.

We stayed for one night only and had a perfect night's sleep. A very comfortable bed, which is all-important to us and lovely thick duvets. All was catered for - even a furry blanket in the wardrobe in case we were cold (we weren't!). Breakfast was delicious. A fantastic find in a lovely little town. Thank you.
