Honeysuckle Lodge

About this property

Honeysuckle Lodge sits quietly above the river in the historic market town of Knaresborough, offering a refined bolt hole for couples looking to slow things down and enjoy a change of pace. Set on the first floor, this carefully designed retreat makes the most of its elevated position, with leafy views that shift beautifully with the seasons and a real sense of privacy once you step inside. The studio-style layout is light-filled and thoughtfully arranged, with a striking glass roof lantern drawing daylight into the heart of the space. A king-size bed anchors the room, perfectly placed for lazy mornings, while a comfortable seating area invites you to unwind with a film on the large Smart TV after a day out exploring.

The kitchenette is neatly tucked away, ideal for relaxed breakfasts and evening drinks, complete with a coffee machine for an unhurried start to the day. A well-finished shower room sits alongside, offering a refreshing end to long walks or sightseeing adventures. Outside, a generous decked terrace provides a peaceful spot to sit back with a book or enjoy a simple meal outdoors, surrounded by birdsong and woodland views. It’s the sort of space that encourages you to linger, whether that’s over morning coffee or a quiet glass of wine as the light fades. Knaresborough itself is a joy to explore on foot, with its cobbled streets, independent shops and inviting cafés all close at hand.

A gentle stroll leads to the riverside, where rowing boats glide past the impressive viaduct, with waterside pubs and three nearby cafés ideal for breakfast or lunch. Further afield, Harrogate’s elegant gardens and tea rooms are easily reached by car, while York’s historic streets make for a memorable day out. For those keen on the outdoors, the edge of the Yorkshire Dales opens up a world of scenic drives and rewarding walks. Honeysuckle Lodge is a calm, comfortable retreat, perfectly placed for enjoying the character, history and countryside of North Yorkshire at your own pace.

Knaresborough is an ancient market and Spa town on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, overlooking the River Nidd, and is one of the prettiest towns in North Yorkshire. Its location makes it ideal as a base for touring the stunning countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. For lovers of history, St John’s Church, Knaresborough House and the now-ruined Knaresborough Castle were built by the Normans in around 1100 AD. Other attractions in the town include Mother Shipton’s petrifying well, the Courthouse Museum, "Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe in England" which dates back to 1720 and the quirky House in the Rock. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy wonderful walks by the river, cycling, climbing, fishing, boating or just sitting and taking in the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The town centre has many interesting shops and galleries, and there is a colourful and lively market held on Wednesdays. The fascinating, historic cathedral cities of Ripon and York are close by, as are the Spa town of Harrogate, the great stately homes of Castle Howard and Harewood House, the Cistercian Abbeys of Fountains, Rievaulx and Jervaulx, and the castles of Middleham, Bolton and Richmond.
