Retreat 1753 – Knaresborough, Yorkshire

Introduction

This property is located alongside its sister property in an historic cobbled courtyard which was once home to the prestigious Royal Oak inn which has since been converted to a private residence. The town is not only home to a good range of shops and eateries but also has plenty to offer visitors in the way of tourist attractions including the medieval castle courthouse museum Mother Shiptons Cave and the pretty esplanade which runs alongside the River Nidd. Just 3.5 miles from Knaresborough the town of Harrogate is well-known for its famous tearooms. Stepping inside this cottage guests come directly to the welcoming lounge where they will find two comfortable sofas and a flame-effect electric fire. There is plenty to keep guests entertained for a quiet night in with a TV/DVD and a DAB radio as well as a selection of books and games. In the kitchen/diner there is enough space to comfortably seat six diners alongside a good selection of equipment including an oven hob microwave and fridge/freezer. The washing machine and tumble dryer for those that need to do laundry whilst away can be found in a separate utility room.
