Delight in a stay at this enticing retreat in Knaresborough. Perfect for couples or small families, it nestles in an enviable, riverside location less than 500 metres from the centre of the Yorkshire market town and 4 miles from Harrogate. It comes with a private terrace for outdoor relaxation and is just 8 miles from undulating Nidderdale, with its many footpaths and beauty spots.
Cross the courtyard to let yourselves into this inviting, two-storey hideaway. Make your way into the lounge/diner, with its great glass doors that bring the leafy views right inside. Slide the doors open on fine days so you can step outside on to the terrace and allow a breeze in. Put your feet up for a spell in front of your favourite boxset on the Smart TV, read your books and sit down to meals at the table that you have prepared in the kitchen with the fresh produce you bought in town. As day turns to night, climb the stairs up to the first floor of the cottage to find your bedrooms, a twin and a king-size, as well as the family shower room. Choose to dine out on the terrace during the spring and summer months. Open a bottle of chilled wine and unwind here on pleasant summer evenings too.
Stroll just over 0.5 miles alongside the River Nidd to visit famous Mother Shipton’s Cave. Head into Harrogate for the afternoon to browse in the boutiques and pamper yourselves with a trip to the Turkish baths. Have a day out to York too, where you can explore the narrow streets of the Shambles, shop and dine out. Head into Nidderdale for long walks and visit Coldstones Cut, 19 miles away, a huge sculpture with views out across a working quarry and the surrounding spectacular landscape.
