Knaresborough, with its dramatic position perched on top of the cliffs overlooking the River Nidd, and the majestic Victorian viaduct spanning the gorge, this location is simply charming. Walk along Waterside and hire a boat, or simply just watch the world go by in one of the cafes along the riverbank. England’s oldest attraction, Mother Shipton’s Cave, is also right by the side of the river. The 12th century castle ruins and museum are also worth a visit along with the stunning Bebra gardens with summer paddling pool. A short drive away is Harrogate, home to Bettys Tea Rooms, Turkish Baths and the stunning Valley Gardens as well offering an elegant mix of boutiques and galleries, not to mention the vast selection of eateries.

As you approach the property, via its own pathway to the front door, you will instantly feel welcome. As you enter, hang your coats up it’s time to relax as you head through to the cosy lounge, where you can enjoy an open fire on a chilly evening, here you can play games, watch a film on the Smart TV or a DVD or simply plan the next day’s activities.

Budding chefs will love the kitchen which is stylishly finished in ivory wood and accessorised with aquamarine appliances.

The property is ideal for visiting the area. It contains everything you'll need for a stay. Easy to walk into Knaresborough centre. I would say Harrogate has better and more choice for evening restaurants. The property is on a very busy main road and can be noisy with hgvs and buses passing. I didn't manage to get parked close to the property but tRead morehe nearby side streets seemed safe enough to park in. Hide

We had a really lovely stay at this excellent house. Ideal for a family, really well equipped, spotlessly clean and nicely decorated throughout. Knaresbrough is such a lovely part of the world, and the walk into the centre is very easy. Good transport links to explore Leeds, Harrogate and York too. We had a great time!

Very comfortable and well equipped house, particularly the kitchen facilities. Spacious rooms. Location slightly out of Knaresborough centre but just close enough to walk. Only negative was traffic noise in the front bedroom as on a main road. Would recommend for friends & families.

We had a lovely stay at Fenton House - welcoming, comfortable beds, well-equipped and nicely decorated. The main road is quite noisy in the mornings but wasn't a big problem. It's a great location with a 15 minute walk to town and railway station for day trips to York, Harrogate and Leeds. I would stay here again.
