If you are able to climb the 34 steps to the penthouse flat you will be delighted with the spacious, comfortable and well-equipped flat that awaits you. Very clean, light, well-decorated and homely. Centrally placed for most of the beautiful market towns in the area and only a ten minute drive to the spectacular Fountains Abbey.
