We really enjoyed our time at Dove Cottage. It’s fantastically laid out and very comfortable. Beautifully clean and fresh smelling. There’s everything you need for a self catering holiday. The milk and biscuits were very welcoming! The location of the cottage is absolutely superb, just around the corner is the town centre full of bustling pubs, cafes, restaurants, shops and takeaways. Knaresbourough is a stunning place, within walking distance is the castle ruins with beautiful views of the river and aqueduct also mother Shiptons cave is about 10-15 minute walk - this was a great place to visit. Fantastic train service, we went to Harrogate and York in next to no time which was easier than driving. Highly recommend this area and cottage. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

It's a lovely little cottage in the heart of Knaresborough. The owner was helpful and we would definitely stay here again if it was available.
