One of the nicest places in North Yorkshire is the old market and spa town of Knaresborough, which is located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and has a view of the River Nidd. Its position makes it the perfect starting point for exploring the breath-taking countryside of the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors National Parks. For those who enjoy history, Knaresborough Castle, St. John's Church, and Knaresborough House were all constructed by the Normans somewhere around 1100 AD. Mother Shipton's petrifying well, the Courthouse Museum, "Ye Oldest Chymist Store in England," which dates back to 1720, and the eccentric House in the Rock are some of the town's additional attractions.

Even with no built in oven, which we knew about the owner has provided a worktop oven with rings, an air fryer and microwave so all cooking bases are covered. Bed was very comfortable, shower was nice and hot. Ample parking provided and no noise. A nice patio area has been provided although our weather didn't allow us to use it. I would recommend and would definitely stay there again.

For us though the stay was marred by the absence of an oven and several other things which should be standard. Maybe we should have questioned this in advance, but we really feel that a fully functioning oven, not just an air fryer should be standard in a property. There was also no socket for an electric razor, no working bread knife - we gave up trying to cut bread, no saucepan if you wanted to cook vegetables on the portable hob. We also agree with one of the other reviews - namely that cutlery provided should be of decent quality, not flimsy plastic. Kitchen equipment was the bare minimum. A mirror would have been useful over the sink in the bathroom There was a long one further along the wall but not much use if you need to use the sink. In addition the freezing unit within the fridge was completely frosted up on arrival, so much so that the unit would not close. These are small things but together, quite irksome. We managed for the few days we were there but would not have wanted a week. It wasnât the time of year or weather to use the outdoor seating; however a further degree of seclusion was really needed here.
