The Nook - Harrogate

Explore the gorgeous Victorian spa town of Harrogate from this inviting, one-bedroom apartment close to the centre of the vibrant hub. Sleeping two guests, the ground-floor bolthole makes a perfect retreat for couples and would be a great base for those attending the famous Harrogate Convention Centre. This is the perfect place to return home to after busy days out wandering the impressive streets of the Yorkshire town, browsing in shops and dining out in its many restaurants.

Head out from here into the wider area, discovering the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, for example, just 4 miles from the colourful town. Make your way to local attractions and beauty spots such as Fountains Abbey, 10.5 miles away, Studley Royal Water Garden, 11.5 miles away, the historic houses of Norton Conyers, 15 miles from the apartment, and Newby Hall and Gardens, a 15.5-mile drive.

Enter the handsome period building via a shared hall and step on through your own private front door. Find yourselves in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is filled with natural light and features a generous bay window. Recline on the soft seating in here, enjoy the chance to catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV and simply unwind after each exciting foray out into Harrogate or the Yorkshire countryside.

Wander over to the modern kitchen space to make yourselves a cup of fresh coffee in the machine to enjoy with a slice of parkin bought from a local bakery. Find you have everything you need in here too to whip up tasty homecooked meals with other produce you have also sourced. Set the table for romantic meals in. There’s a handy washer/dryer for damp clothing after country walks.

When day turns to night, make your way into the comfortable double bedroom to lay your head on your pillow. Awake to enjoy a hot shower before sitting down to breakfast in the lounge/kitchen/diner while deciding how to spend the next wonderful day. Find you have parking for one car with the apartment.

Lively Harrogate is regularly listed as the best place to live in the UK. The gorgeous Yorkshire town effortlessly combines traditional elegance with contemporary style.

Best known for its antiques and fine art, it has antiques dealers and galleries around every corner, particularly around the elegant Montpellier Quarter. If buying old paintings and furniture does not appeal to you, there are a host of other reasons to enjoy shopping in Harrogate. High fashion outlets nestle alongside lavish interior boutiques, punctuated with enough fine restaurants and cafes to keep you fuelled for weeks.

A visit to Bettys Tearooms is a must and, if you have time, we highly recommend a session at the famous Turkish Baths. Harrogate is also known for its outdoor space and abundance of parkland and greenery. The RHS Gardens Harlow Carr, 2 miles out of town, are also a fantastic option for families.

Harrogate is also very close to the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, so it makes the perfect base from which to explore the glorious Yorkshire landscape and its many stunning natural sights. Breathtaking Nidderdale begins just 4 miles from the town and features a whole host of fabulous beauty spots. We also highly recommend a day trip to gorgeous Ilkley, combined with a visit to impressive Bolton Abbey, both 17 miles from the apartment.

York, 21 miles away, is also within easy reach for an exciting day trip. Spend time wandering the famous Shambles and visiting the city’s many historic sights.
