The creak of a wooden gate, the scent of breakfast drifting through sash windows, and the quiet hum of Leeds just beyond the garden wall — Myrtle House feels like staying with friends who happen to live in the city.
This is one for couples after a comfortable base near Leeds, or solo travellers who want a proper bed and a cooked breakfast before heading into Yorkshire. There's a camping pod if you fancy something different, though the guest house itself is the main draw. You're well placed for exploring Leeds' markets and museums, or using it as a springboard into the Dales or towards Harrogate.
Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite and whether your dog can tag along — the policy is to ask first. Campfires need clearing on arrival too. Open all year, so it works for winter city breaks as much as summer stopovers. The vibe is low-key and straightforward — a place to sleep well, eat properly, then get on with your day.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
