Escape with your special someone to this beautiful retreat that was once part of Temple Newsam House – a grand Tudor-Jacobean country estate which boasts grounds landscaped by Capability Brown. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, this is a perfect accommodation option for couples in search of a quaint yet stylish cottage to call home while they discover the beauty of West Yorkshire together. Spend a joyful day exploring the vibrant city of Leeds (4 miles), which offers a fabulous selection of historic attractions like the Royal Armouries and Kirkstall Abbey to discover, as well as plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to enjoy. In the evening, come home to snuggle up in the cottage’s cosy living area.

From your parking spot, walk through the stable courtyard and log tunnel and climb the steep external staircase to reach your stylish farmhouse-style home. Step inside and kick off shoes in the entrance lobby, which has large storage drawers for boots and bags. This leads to a smart open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. Find your spot on the plush sofa and take a moment to admire the characterful exposed beams and preserved original features. When it’s time to eat, head to the chic, country kitchen area, a lovely space to whip up dinner. After eating, unwind in the sophisticated living area and at the end of the day, retreat to the beautifully styled bedroom in the former dovecote, which offers a king-size bed and a view over the farmhouse's pretty orchard and ancient monument site. Completing the layout is a smart bathroom overlooking Temple Newsam Rose Garden.

There is also direct entry into Temple Newsam Estate from Park Road opposite the development’s entrance via a bridlepath and footpath.

Wonderful, beautifully decorated and presented and equipped with everything we needed. Excellent position for walking and the park, not far to the supermarket, close to the bus stop and walkable to the station.

A really nice and well appointed property close to Leeds. It is in a really quiet area with access to Temple Newsam estate grounds. Highly recommended.
