Richard
Great location for heading into town where there are great pubs and restaurants. Five minute walk to the river. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Amenities good although slightly bigger sofa would be nice. There are no drawers in bedroom to store belongings and a few more coat hangers wouldn’t go a miss. Overall a fab little cottage, ideal for a few night’s stay. Knaresborough is a lovely town with lots of amenities and local walks. Would stay again.

What a gem of a place. Spotlesly clean and very comfortable. 5 minute walk from town centre and market place and a few more minutes to the iconic view from the castle. Will definitely book again next time I'm in Knaresborough
