Perfectly positioned in the heart of Knaresborough market place, this apartment, with its bay window and panoramic view, enables guests to observe the hustle and bustle of market town life. In particular, the Wednesday market (enshrined in the Domesday Book) and more recently, the once-a-month Saturday artisans’ market. The apartment, set across three floors has a quirky thoughtful, décor, enhancing the character and charm of the Grade ll listed building’s heritage, and was built circa 1760.

On the ground floor is a hallway shared with Hogwood Cottage (UK33574). Once inside, a door will lead you to Market Place View and open onto a curved staircase leading to the first floor with a lovely bright living room with high ceilings, overlooking the marketplace, and with a table and chairs strategically placed in the bay window. The kitchen, although small, is well equipped. A further flight of stairs leads up to the second floor to the stylish shower roomwith a large walk-in shower.

The first of the two bedrooms is on this floor with views out over the marketplace. On the third floor is the second bedroom and it is a lovely, bright and open space with a large double bed and a bath. Please note that because of the architectural style of the property, the stairs, although steeped in charm, could be a problem for people less mobile. There is slightly limited head room just as you leave the stairs to enter the bedroom.

The central location of this charming holiday apartment means you don’t even need to get in the car to sample the delights of the local area. There is a great selection of pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as an array of independent shops to potter around. Just around the corner, you can cut through the castle grounds which is pretty spectacular, but first, admire the breath-taking view of the viaduct before walking down the straggling steps to Waterside. Here you will find the riverside promenade dotted with cafés and rowing boats that you can hire out along the River Nidd.

For those keen on walking there are many local walks nearby. Visit Old Mother Shipton’s Cave or meander along the Nidd Gorge. Knaresborough train station can be reached within a 5-minute walk with trains taking you to Harrogate in less than 10 minutes, or York within half an hour. The elegant spa town of Harrogate is a brilliant day out with its Royal Pump Museum, restored Turkish baths, and of course, the famous Betty’s tea rooms, offering the best afternoon tea for miles. The walled city of York with its cobbled streets is a fabulous day out, with its numerous theatres, galleries and museums, or simply grab a drink at one of the many local bars before heading for a delicious meal.

Slightly further afield, the North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales National Park and coastal resorts of Whitby and Scarborough can all easily be reached by train or ca
