A delightful apartment, with the castle ruins on your doorstep, this property is ideal for a couple, a family or friends looking for a relaxing holiday where a four-legged friend is also welcome. Step outside and discover the charming shops, delightful cafes, and quaint cobbled streets. The 12th-century castle offers panoramic views of the River Nidd and the surrounding countryside. Less than 5 miles away is the spa town of Harrogate, with its boutique shops, renowned tea rooms and the Royal Pump House Museum to discover.

Step into this stylish duplex, set across the second and third floors, and you'll find there is a small entrance hall before you head upstairs into the inviting open-plan living space. The apartment is contemporary and chic in its design and decor. Unwind in comfort in the lounge area after a day of exploring and relax with a book, watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV, or take in the views of the castle through the picture windows. A breakfast bar separates the lounge area from the kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to make meal preparation a breeze. A second flight of stairs leads you to the upper floor, where you will find a contemporary shower room and two comfortable bedrooms – one with a double bed and one with a small double. Head outside to enjoy a small patio area in the alleyway, complete with a bistro table for two, making this the perfect spot to sit out in the sun and enjoy a morning coffee.

The awe-inspiring Nidderdale National Landscape, just a short distance away, offers many walking and cycling trails, with Pateley Bridge (15 miles) serving as an excellent starting point.
