This holiday cottage is first class. I am a Nit Picker and was disappointed to find absolutely nothing to pick on! A walk down to the river from the back garden, quiet location, no noise all week. Warm, clean, comfortable, well equipped, parking on site, big and well arranged bathroom, good shower, whats to complain about?

This is a very well equipped bungalow and is great for a wheelchair user. If using a wheelchair the bedroom is a little small and we did a bit of furniture moving to ease the access. (apologies Mel, I forgot to move the bed back to its original position).

We booked Rosies Retreat last minute and only for 3 days. It was an absolute tonic for 2 winter worn and weary folks. Cosy, warm, comfortable and so clean and tidy. Walking from the doorstep to Knaresborough and Harrogate and a good bus service from the main road meant car free days too. We loved our stay, just wish it had been for longer.
