You enter the property into the open plan living/kitchen area on the ground floor.

The location of Dove Cottage is perfect; Knaresborough has its own fantastic market on a Wednesday and is also famous for Mother Shipton’s Cave and Petrifying Well and boasts an interesting castle, painted by JMW Turner, perched high on the cliff top. Stroll along the riverside promenade, relax with an ice cream or hire a boat and spend an afternoon ’messing about on the river’. If you did want to go further afield there is the stylish spa town of Harrogate just a short 20-minute drive, Harrogate is bursting with fantastic restaurants, pubs, and not to forget the world-famous Betty’s Tearoom which is a must for afternoon tea.

Overall excellent stay and very nice conversion.

Overall excellent stay and very nice conversion. All mod cons and quality. Well thought out layout and easy parking opposite. We liked the place a lot. Only very minor observation would benefit from having a fan as was very hot and hard to cool though these are rare days ...Overall a five star stay though!

I had the pleasure of staying at Dove Cottage this past weekend, and I can honestly say it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how clean and well-maintained the cottage was. Every corner was spotless, and it truly felt like a home away from home.The atmosphere was incredibly cozy, with charming touches that made the space feel both inviting and relaxing. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some quiet time.The cottage was also stocked with everything I could have possibly needed during my stay — from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, nothing was overlooked. It made the experience so much more enjoyable and stress-free.I highly recommend Dove Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway. I will definitely be back!
