Escape on a luxury getaway, as one or two couples or a small family, to this wonderful cottage in the time-honoured town of Harrogate. Explore the quaint streets before trying out the baths, or ‘take the waters’ as the Victorians did. Or, if that’s too hectic, this property has a brilliant location on the edges of the Nidderdale National Landscape, so you can get out and discover the wilds of Yorkshire. Welcoming up to two dogs, this cleverly refurbished cottage even has a warm doggie (or welly) shower in the garden. Perfect!
This fabulous accommodation perfectly marries contemporary space-gaining design with cottage character. The flexible living and sleeping accommodation make it an ideal base for a family or two couples to holiday amid deluxe surroundings; largely one-storey, there are a few small internal level changes with steps up or down. The cosy lounge boasts a wood burner and room to relax, while the open-plan kitchen/diner occupies a wonderfully bright space, thanks to the light decor and glass atrium. Outside, there’s a completely secure, patio-style garden built into the rocky hillside. It’s a lovely private space to use the BBQ, wash the dogs off in the thermostatic shower or just sit and chat about your day.
With Nidderdale National Landscape within 4 miles, strike out on foot or bike to discover this stunning area via its many trails and paths. Or check out Knaresborough (5 miles) which offers charming river walks and Mother Shipton’s Cave. Attractive Pateley Bridge (12 miles) offers more river walks, cafes and eateries and independent shopping. But Harrogate must surely be the main draw, as its centre is just 1 mile with its pubs, eateries, cafes and indie shopping. Don’t forget the Turkish Baths and Royal Pump Room Museum, focusing on the town’s spa heritage.
