KNAYTON

Thirsk 5 miles.

The peaceful village of Knayton sits on a small hillside on the edge of the Vale of York, quietly nestling between the Hambleton Hills to the east and the Yorkshire Dales to the west. Built around the village green, this lovely village boasts an excellent local pub and good walking and cycling opportunities in the surrounding countryside. Just 7 miles away is the market town of Northallerton, offering excellent shops and a weekly market, whilst Thirsk is just 5 miles to the south, boasting a famous racecourse as well as a cobbled market square and quaint little alleyways awash with cosy teashops and lovely little delicatessens. With the historic cathedral cities of York and Ripon also within easy reach, this great area has something for everyone.

The Property: Knayton House Cottage

A charming stone built, semi-detached cottage, nestling in a quiet position in the peaceful village of Knayton, just 5 miles from Thirsk.

Good location, the cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. The owners were very helpful and the welcome pack was much appreciated, as were the many added touches that made us feel very much at home. Without doubt, the best holiday cottage we have stayed in!

We loved this cottage - especially the bath! The location was very peaceful, and just what we needed, while still being ideally situated for access to plenty of attractions.

Spotlessly clean throughout, well located. Excellent quality of all fitments and crockery etc. Really smart property which we shall return to one day soon. Completely deserving of the 5 stars it has.

First of all, the cottage is very good. Everything was clean, and in the kitchen was a welcome basket with bread and biscuits, butter and milk. We can recommend Knayton House Cottage warmly.
