Guests universally applaud the cleanliness of Routhorpe House, noting it as spotless and well-maintained. The attention to detail in this regard contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The property's location is generally appreciated for its privacy, rural charm, and accessibility to local attractions. However, a few guests noted road noise when outside, which slightly detracts from the tranquillity.

Comfort is a standout feature, with guests highlighting the luxurious feel, comfortable beds, and spaciousness that cater to both adults and children, making for a relaxing stay.

The facilities at Routhorpe House receive high praise for being well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped. The hot tub is a favourite among guests, and the availability of games and activities is appreciated.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of welcome gifts and their readiness to assist guests. While such gestures are warmly received, it is noted that these are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Neil

    Loved the hot tub and lighting in the kitchen/dining room! Kids loved the swings and great selection of outdoor games. Many thanks.

  • Brian

    The house was spacious and very comfortable. Carl and Kevin, the owners were kind and most helpful. Unable to walk the wolds as much as we hoped, we loved our visits to Kirkburn Church, Beverley Minster and Burton Agnes. One small misleading description on the website - the groundfloor bedroom is not en-suite as the bathroom is outside and is shared by the other groundfloor bedroom. We shall certainly recommend Routhorpe to our friends.

  • Simon

    Lots to do around the area. We would highly recommend
