A great find. Perfect for a solo traveller as such a reasonable price. But it does sleep 2. The grounds are awesome and a relief from busy traffic in Harrogate. Really enjoyed my stay. Jayne the manager was so lovely and very welcoming.

Lovely little loft accommodation in some really beautiful grounds! So peaceful! We had a very restful weekend, and the location was great for days out on walks. Great value for money with the kitchen facilities. Perfect for a couples quiet getaway.

We loved staying here. It was really peaceful and quiet, and lovely to be able to wander round the estate. A great location for exploring Ripon, Harrogate and the wider area, particularly Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey.

No natural light apart from a large window above the door and no windows for any fresh air available unless you opened the door but good location and great for a couple of days of exploring the area

A good place to stay, If you are on the tall side be aware of the beams in the bedroom area .Quiet and beautiful estate, well worth a stroll around the lake and grounds.

The chauffeurs loft is a very accurate description as it is adequate but on the small side. The one room downstairs serves as kitchen, sitting room and dining room all in one. Upstairs is a large double bed (2 singles pushed together!) which was comfortable and a very compact shower room with basin and WC. There is only one large window over the frRead moreont door to provide natural light to both rooms. So overall it is adequate without being stunning but in a wonderful parkland setting. Hide
