Guests staying at this cottage can enjoy a break that is as laid back or action packed as they like. For those who enjoy the simple pleasures of country walks, there are miles of footpaths close by and those who are lucky may even spot red kites, woodpeckers, and sparrow hawks. The RHS garden of Harlow Carr is just 1.5 miles from the property and is a great place to spend a pleasurable day wandering the gardens, stopping for lunch at the gardens branch of Harrogates famous Bettys Tearoom, and browsing the well stocked plant shop. Just a little further away, 3 miles from the property, the spa town of Harrogate is a delightful place to explore, with its excellent range of shops, eateries, and of course the Turkish baths. A flight of external stairs leads guests to the front door of this property, though there is also a sloping path which leads round to the patio doors at the side of the house. Once inside, guests can sit back and unwind after their journey in the beamed lounge which has a TV/DVD and iPod dock . The kitchen/diner offers space for four people to eat together and is well equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. The master bedroom is a delightful space which boasts a spacious super king size bed which can be split into twin beds if required and has patio doors which open onto the garden. The second bedroom, meanwhile, is a restful twin room which looks out over the garden. The bathroom, which is located close to the bedrooms offers the best of both worlds, with a bath as well as a separate shower and WC. The property's attractive and beauful garden extends to the rear and the side of the cottage and offers a pretty flower edged lawn next to which there is a patio seating area with garden furniture. BBQs are allowed, but guests are asked to bring their own. There is a designated parking area for three cars.
