About this property

Country Hideaways | Cobblestone Cottage | Ripon

Cobblestone Cottage sits on the edge of Bishopton, a small hamlet absorbed into Ripon's city suburbs with adjacent meadows and woodland reaching out to the River Laver. The immediate area has been recognised as a Conservation Area since 1994 and forms an exceptional architectural enclave in character and form. This pretty cottage is a modern but cosy renovation of an original cottage dating back to 1635, located near to the city, the wonderful Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale and just a scenic walk away from the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Studley Royal Park and Fountains Abbey.

The parking area to the side of the cottage leads to a private walled patio garden and access to the cottage. Entry from here is into a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar, sparkling Victorian tiles and everything you need to prepare a delicious meal. French doors to the left of the kitchen lead to the living area at the front of the cottage. The lounge area with oak furniture and comfy arm chair and settee has a fireplace with wood-burning stove, making it a cosy place to sit during the cooler months. To the right of the kitchen a hallway gives access to a shower room with wash basin and toilet, a single bedroom and a spacious master bedroom with king-size bed, pretty cream furniture and french windows leading out to the patio garden, a perfect place to sit and relax.

The cottage provides an ideal place for a small family or couple, thoughtfully designed and completed with loving care providing all the conveniences of modern life. A perfect base to enjoy Ripon's cafes, pubs, shops, museums, galleries and cathedral or to travel to nearby Harrogate, York and Masham or a little further in to the Dales.

Same great hosts! New cottage!

Our first time at Cobblestone Cottage, usually having stayed at the Hay Loft next door.

2nd stay at this comfortable well equipped cottage. Great condition throughout with a good range of equipment and features. Ideally placed for visiting a wide range of 'days out' locations including Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge, Himalayan Gardens, Fountains Abbey and of course Ripon.

Great cottage in a lovely area.

We felt at home in Cobblestone Cottage, everything was clean and well looked after. Katherine and Pete were very friendly, and they left us a really good welcome pack too. There is a plenty to do in the area and the cottage is only a fifteen minute walk from the town centre. Lots of restaurants, pubs and cafes to choose from. The three museums were interesting, and we were lucky enough to be in the cathedral when the choir and a brass band were practicing. A very enjoyable stay.

Thank you to Katherine and Pete for their warm welcome, flowers and goodies. The cottage is such an home from home. Off street parking and a quiet location, but within a short walk to Ripon city centre, a perfect combination. We look forward to returning soon.

A Perfect Place to Stay

This delightfully appointed cottage had everything we could wish for. On arrival and contactless entry, we were greeted with all sorts of edible and drinkable goodies. Our hosts, Katharine and Peter, were friendly, available at all times, and attentive to our needs without being intrusive. We stayed for over a week during which we visited both the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors, as well as enjoying Ripon, a beautiful historic small city. Don't miss the Cathedral! A perfect place to stay.

The house is maintained perfectly. Everything inside is in top order. We loved staying in it every minute, even if the weather was not at its best. The heating, the kitchen the beds etc. all was first class. The Landlady was very helpful and positive and we enjoyed staying in Ripon.We only can recommend this place to anyone interested.

Quality cottage, great location.

We really enjoyed staying at Cobblestone Cottage in Ripon. The property is first class and extremely well equipped with absolutely everything you need in the kitchen. The owner, Katherine, provided a very generous welcome pack, probably the nicest we have ever been given in any holiday cottage. I won't detail as it's a nice surprise for anyone staying. We love the hills of York Dales but often come to Ripon, and the property has a great location for walks from the door and trips further afield. We would highly recommend!
