Set just a mile from Harrogate’s exciting high street and 2 miles from the convention centre, this superb town house will have humans and hounds hankering for their next holiday. Known for its vibrant cafe culture, cream teas and elegant Georgian architecture, the town also boasts the sumptuous Turkish Baths, two cinemas and a cornucopia of parks, gardens, galleries, independent shops and dog friendly pubs and eateries, such as the excellent Harrogate Tap. Marvel at the resplendent Royal Hall Theatre and explore the local park, the Stray’s 200 acres of gorgeous grass parkland, and Valley Gardens’ Grade II listed loveliness (2 miles). Revel in ruined romance at Knaresborough Castle and discover the petrifying secrets of Mother Shipton’s Cave (both 4 miles).
Up two steps and through the door you’ll find a cosy and stylish interior, full of loving touches. Prepare sumptuous local produce in the bright, galley-style kitchen, with everything within easy reach – and feast in style in the rustic yet refined dining room, or in the enclosed rear yard. Soak in the skylit bathroom’s steaming tub (down two steps from the landing), before drifting to a sweet sleep in the two upstairs bedrooms - the super king-size is a paradise of restrained decadence, with glorious wallpaper and exquisite period features.
Try canyoning, rock climbing and kayaking at magnificent How Stean Gorge (24 miles). Humans and hounds will love clambering around Brimham Rocks (11.5 miles), or exploring the ancient lanes of Leeds (15 miles) and York (21 miles), with their cathedrals, independent shops, pubs, galleries, parks and museums. Discover Spofforth and Harewood Castles (both within 6 miles); sensitive noses will love sniffing out the ruins of the latter, hidden dramatically in the woods.
