The flat was in a prime location in the wonderful town of Knaresborough, overlooking the medieval castle. We couldn't think of a fault. Lots of pubs and takeaways in a very compact town centre. At least 4 butchers within walking distance and two local supermarkets.

It was a great place to stay, with lots of things to see nearby (including York) and the free parking was very welcome. Opposite the flat were the castle grounds and gardens (free to walk around in), as well as the pathways down to the riverside walk, and yet it was just around the corner to the centre of the town.

Castle View is an absolute gem. Knaresborough is a lovely market town. It has everything you might need within easy walking distance and is a superb base from where to explore North Yorkshire. Castle View is beautifully furnished, with very high quality soft furnishings, crockery and utensils. The bed was super comfortable, as was the sofa. Read more It had been furnished with a sense of what could be needed, not just what looked nice (it had reading lights - so rare in a holiday cottage). Often 'dog friendly' means a bit tired, this was definitely not the case here. It is also superbly located, opposite the castle, around the corner from the market square - and yet as quiet a place as you could ever wish for. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Hide
