Knaresborough is an ancient market and Spa town on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, overlooking the River Nidd, and is one of the prettiest towns in North Yorkshire. Its location makes it ideal as a base for touring the stunning countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. For lovers of history, St John’s Church, Knaresborough House and the now-ruined Knaresborough Castle were built by the Normans in around 1100 AD. Other attractions in the town include Mother Shipton’s petrifying well, the Courthouse Museum, "Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe in England" which dates back to 1720 and the quirky House in the Rock. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy wonderful walks by the river, cycling, climbing, fishing, boating or just sitting and taking in the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The town centre has many interesting shops and galleries, and there is a colourful and lively market held on Wednesdays. The fascinating, historic cathedral cities of Ripon and York are close by, as are the Spa town of Harrogate, the great stately homes of Castle Howard and Harewood House, the Cistercian Abbeys of Fountains, Rievaulx and Jervaulx, and the castles of Middleham, Bolton and Richmond.

It is very spacious and has a quirky feel about it. There are lots of useful extras in the property, kindly left by the owner for guests. There is central heating if needed. The kitchen appliances are a bit old and could do with being replaced. But they work. The bathroom has a lovely big bath and great shower. The living room has everything you need. The TV is a smart TV, but you need your log in details to access iplayer, Netflix etc. The main bedroom is large and comfy, but the bedding could be better quality. The fitted sheet was a bit scratchy. There is a second bedroom with single beds, but we did not use this. The location was great, right in the centre of Knaresborough. Parking for one car. The property overlooks an old graveyard. Some graves are over 200 years old. It's like an overgrown meadow. We had no issue with it. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
