Graham Coombs left this review about Gardeners Arms
A classic Grade II-listed unspoilt pub tucked away on an old closed-off road beyond the suburban housing estates. Seemingly unchanging so unsurprisingly still very much as described below - in most of the little rooms you could be in almost any decade over the last century or so. The OBB was in very good form on this visit. A must-do for lovers of historic pubs, even if subject to the usual Humphrey nonsenses.

Old Boots left this review about Gardeners Arms
Unspolit old pub at the end of a very long no through road on the north east outskirts of Harrogate. Remaining features like wainscotting, stone flags, and stone fireplaces assure its place on CAMRA's National Inventory of historic pubs. Four small rooms with names like the “piggery” and “wrinklies bar”. Sam Smiths pub so only chilly OBB on handpull plus Sam's bright beers. Friendly staff and customers, pleasant pub for a pleasant pint.
