Had a wonderful two week stay. The house is very clean, modern and well equipped. Kitchen and bathrooms are updated and having two showers was helpful. Bedding is comfortable and the linens are excellent quality. Parking was no issue as there were always spots available. We love walking so the 15 - 20 minute trek into Knaresborough was easy for us.Read more There is also a lovely walled park up the road (Jacob Smith Park) with pleasant walking trails. We felt very comfortable and at home during our stay. Hide

The house was perfect for our requirements, well maintained and equipped. For a larger party than ours the outside space is a bit restrictive for sitting out.

Good location. Heating excellent. Cottage in the main was okay but really disappointed that for Christmas week there were no decorations........first time this has happened in over ten years of renting property at this time of year. The website photos gave impression of space - six people would find it a struggle. Lacked any clothe hanging space inRead more very tiny bathroom/shower room. Disliked position of shower room, straight off the kitchen with no window. Main bed too soft. Hide

This was a lovely house in a good location - about a 15-minute walk to the centre. There is a good bus route to Harrogate with a bus stop nearby.. The house was well equipped,and the real fire was lovely. The house was very clean and the decor was lovely. A few things could have been added such as a mirror in the smaller room and somewhere to hang Read moreclothes in this room. Perhaps a TV in the bedrooms, but these are just relatively little things. All in all a lovely place. I would stay again. Hide
