Whisk your special person off to this bijou hideaway in Old Scriven, on the fringes of Knaresborough. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom retreat makes an exquisite hideaway for couples keen to immerse themselves in scenic North Yorkshire. Set within former stables, the attractive holiday home has been creatively designed to offer comfort and style. It has a sun-soaked patio garden where you can unwind in the warmer months after your trips to Harrogate, 4.5 miles away, and Nidderdale, 8 miles away.
Make your way into the single-storey cottage to find studio-style accommodation. The open-plan lounge/diner/bedroom is decorated in soothing natural shades and includes a sofa to sink back on after your long walks. Watch a DVD, find your favourite programme on TV or listen to music before deciding whether to eat in or out tonight. On those evenings you choose to cater for yourselves, you will find you have a clever kitchen area, where your sink, hobs and some storage are hidden within a secret cupboard. Prepare a tasty meal for two then dine back through at the table in the main room. Your comfortable double bed, where you are sure to enjoy a good night’s sleep, is also in here. The cottage has a shower room with WC. Sit out in the sunshine on sunny mornings before heading off for the day. Pop open a cold bottle of fizz out here too on balmy evenings.
Walk or drive just 1 mile into Knaresborough to shop, dine out, see the castle, and visit Mother Shipton’s Cave. Spend time in Harrogate browsing in the elegant boutiques and galleries or pampering yourselves at the Turkish baths. Plan a day out to the Coldstones Cut, 21 miles away, where you can walk through an enormous sculpture and take in the far-reaching views.
