Walk along the waterside or take a boat along the River Nidd, alternatively, watch the world go by in one of the cafes along the riverbank.

You can even enjoy Bettys tearooms and the many spa town attractions nearby, including Ripon the cathedral city. There are also links to London via York and Leeds from Harrogate and Knaresborough train stations.

From the hallway head through to the lounge/kitchen/diner with well-equipped kitchen area with electric oven and hob, compact fridge/freezer, microwave and breakfast bar for that lazy breakfast. Just off the kitchen, down one step is the utility room with washer/dryer. Relax in the cosy lounge with TV/DVD, books and games for making the most of your evenings. There is also a dining table for four where you can enjoy the rear views of the garden.

Venturing outside there is a front garden which is set on one level with garden furniture and to the rear, down five steps from the decked area is a pretty, well stocked garden with access gate  to the Woodland Trust's Nidd Gorge. There is off-road parking available.

We booked Rosies Retreat last minute and only for 3 days. It was an absolute tonic for 2 winter worn and weary folks. Cosy, warm, comfortable and so clean and tidy. Walking from the doorstep to Knaresborough and Harrogate and a good bus service from the main road meant car free days too. We loved our stay, just wish it had been for longer.
