Honeybee Cottage

About this property

Resting on the outskirts of the Cathedral city of Ripon in North Yorkshire is Honeybee Cottage. This wonderfully presented, terraced house benefits from off-road parking for two cars, is dog friendly with miles of beautiful country and river walks from the doorstep and is within driving distance of the city’s attractions; making it the perfect setting for a family of three or couples seeking a getaway in North Yorkshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and settle down in front of the TV on the comfortable reclining sofa and chair, while the designated chef finds their way around the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather around the dining table and tuck into a delicious meal before stepping outside to soak up the last of the sun in your private garden with a glass of wine in hand. When the sky darkens, head upstairs for some well-earned rest, tuck your children into the small double bedroom before retiring to the double bedroom; both rooms are serviced by a sleek family shower room. Honeybee Cottage lies a short walk away from the local store where you can ease your self-catered stay, or head into the centre of Ripon where you can treat your loved ones to a special meal at The Royal Oak or Storehouse Bar and Eatery. The city houses Ripon Cathedral, an impressive medieval building with historic Saxon crypt that is open to the public, you could also tour the Courthouse Museum or Prison and Police Museum which displays exhibits and provides historic reenactments. Fishing is a short walk away to the river or less than 100 metres to a fishing lake (permits can be bought locally). Guests looking to experience the outdoors can take leisurely strolls around Ripon Spa Gardens which hosts a variety of concerts throughout the year, or amble alongside the canal; if you time your visit right you could delight in a day out at Ripon Races! Venture to the historic town of Harrogate, home to the Great Yorkshire Show and the famous Betty's Café Tea Rooms, a fabulous place to indulge in traditional afternoon tea. Wetherby, Knarsborough and the vivid city of Leeds lie slightly further afield but all provide an array of must-see attractions. Choose Honeybee Cottage as the setting for your next adventure in North Yorkshire.

With its 1300-year-old crypt, the Yorkshire Law & Order Museums, craft markets, an International Music Festival, and the Ripon Races to mention, the historic city of Ripon has a lot to offer visitors, not to mention its many beautiful riverside and canal walks. In addition to the famous Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, the popular Lightwater Valley Theme Park is only a short distance away. This location is near the historic homes of Norton Conyers and the Newby Hall and Gardens. Ripon is an excellent starting point for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, as well as Harrogate, Knaresborough, and York.
