It's closer to the outskirts of Leeds, but it's quicker to drive to Harrogate than into the centre of Leeds.
IMO Harrogate is a nicer place to stay, theres a lot of choice of hotels and guesthouses, it's only a 15 min drive away, and there is a regular bus to Harewood and I think you get reduced admition if you go by bus.
(ps I don't work for Harrogate tourist board! Just live there!)

Harewood arms - in harewood village, has rooms I think, linton hall hotel (v. expensive) in linton, (2/3? miles down road). google for b=b's in alwoodley - it's the closest suburb of leeds and pretty close.

ok, about to book this. Have decided to go with staying in harrogate rather than leeds. How much will a taxi to harewood house be from there?

[bettythebuilder]

not sure, but it's only 7 miles, so not too dear.
bus route is also easy and you get in for half price
