Riffa Manor Bungalow

Whisk yourselves away to this idyllic bungalow for two for a rejuvenating break to North Yorkshire surrounded by lush green vistas, enchanting walks and charming towns. Just under 7 miles away you’ll find the tranquil haven of RHS Garden Harlow Carr where you can while away your days walking through the pretty gardens, indulging in tasty treats in the cafe and making the most of the quality time you have with one another.

Spread over one level for ease, this blissful bungalow will have you feeling at home in no time. The bright and airy living room is the perfect place to unwind, with two comfortable sofas and natural light pouring in through the sliding patio doors. Next door, the light continues into the generously sized kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to cook meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a table and chairs.

When it’s time for bed, take your pick from one of two bedrooms, the first of which is a calming double room, neutrally styled with an en-suite bathroom. Next door is a delightful twin, similarly styled and suitable for both adults and children if you wish to bring extra guests with you for your stay. Finally, a shower room completes the interiors.

Outside, the terrace area offers a sublime spot to sit and soak up the atmosphere with views over the owner’s 14-acre grounds to enjoy.

Whilst staying in the area, you could make a visit to Otley (4 miles) to peruse the selection of lovely local shops and eateries for a leisurely day out. Otley Golf Club is also in the area if you fancy an 18-hole course in a beautiful location before refuelling in the clubhouse at the end of the day. For majestic walks, head to Lindley Wood Reservoir (5 miles) and you’ll be enchanted by the tree canopy and array of wildlife inhabiting the area.

The grand Victorian spa town of Harrogate (7 miles) is regularly listed as the best place to live in the UK. The truly gorgeous Yorkshire town combines traditional elegance with contemporary style effortlessly. And the Duchy suburb is well known as being one of the most desirable postcodes in town.

Best known for its antiques and fine art, Harrogate has antique dealers and galleries around every corner, particularly around the Montpellier Quarter. If buying old paintings and furniture isn't your bag, there are a host of other reasons to part with your cash 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 Tea Rooms is a must and, if you have time, we highly recommend a session at the famous Turkish Baths. Rejuvenate spirit and soul after a day on the town. If you're travelling with children, Harrogate is famous for its outdoor space with lots of parkland and greenery everywhere. The RHS gardens at Harlow Carr 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. The breathtaking Nidderdale is 26 miles northwest, and you will be driving through some of the most dramatic Dales scenery. We highly recommend a day trip to gorgeous Ilkley (11 miles) combined with a visit to Bolton Abbey, 19 miles away.

York is within easy reach (27 miles) and a day trip to this beautiful mediaeval city is well worth it.
