Gardeners Cottage

Gardeners Cottage suits couples wanting a quiet base in the Yorkshire countryside. The whole place is yours alone, with a one-bedroom layout on a single floor: a double bed, bathroom with shower, and an open-plan living and dining area where a fully fitted kitchen lets you cook proper meals. Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen and towels are all included; one dog travels free. There is parking for a car on site.

The village of Staveley is small and rural, with open fields visible from the back garden where there's seating to sit outside. A pub serving food and local ales stands within easy walking distance. Knaresborough, the nearest town of any size, lies a few miles away and is known for its riverside setting, castle remains and tearooms. The wider area offers walking routes and historic sites across North Yorkshire. No smoking indoors.
