Potter around the array of local independent shops, grab a coffee at one of the marketplace cafés and be amazed by the ruins of the medieval Knaresborough Castle. Take a stroll along the riverside promenade or hire a boat and enjoy the stunning scenery and local wildlife from the water. Bebra Gardens is a wonderful spot to sit out, not to mention the castle grounds and the fabulous views of the viaduct which are featured in the film ‘A Very Yorkshire Christmas’. For those keen on walking there are many local walks nearby. Visit Old Mother Shipton’s cave or meander along the Nidd Gorge. The long winding roads over the local moors offer some spectacular cycling.

The elegant spa town of Harrogate is a brilliant day out with its Royal Pump Museum, restored Turkish baths, and of course, the famous Betty’s tea rooms offering the best afternoon tea for miles. The walled city of York with its cobbled streets is a fabulous day out, with its numerous theatres, galleries and museums, there is something to excite everyone. Or simply grab a drink at one of the many local bars before heading for a delicious meal out.

This cottage is as cute as a button. The cottage is right in the town centre but is tucked away, we just loved that. The kitchen is well equipped and functional. I know previous reviews have complained about the bed but it’s been replaced and is now very comfy. The internet signal isn’t great but that wasn’t a big deal for us at all. The pub next door is fabulous (not noisy). If you like cute and quirky this is the place for you

An absolutely brilliant weekend, the location of the cottage is perfect, such a nice little place, modern but retains features of its age in a classy way. The heating was exceptionally good. We were sad to be leaving. One thing is that the bed and mattress need replacing as a matter of urgency, they really are passed there best, this could ruin another person's stay but it did not for us. We will be returning, without doubt.

Great location. Accommodation clean and comfortable. Visit marred by very poor check-in experience. Information being incorrect. Owner's phone number unobtainable. Emergency contact number not taking calls. There was no remote for the TV
