This stunning, riverside property was converted in 2012 from a boathouse and cafe into two semi-detached properties. The River House has recently been tastefully redecorated in muted tones. It offers all modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable. With a spacious open plan living space, combining lounge, dining, and kitchen area, it is just perfect for the end of day socializing. Located off the entrance hall is a WC and stairs to the upper floor. There are two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and ensuite facilities with a walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 has a zip and link king size bed that can be split to create two singles if required (please request at the time of booking if this option is preferred) The family bathroom has a shower over the bath. Bedrooms and lounge all have river views. If check-in before 2pm is required for your stay, please consider booking the night before to guarantee this. We can not accommodate a check-in before 2pm, and that is only subject to availability on the day. Usual check-in is from 4pm. There is ONE allocated parking space suitable for a car. Additional parking can be found at Highbridge Green (free) or the public car park across the road. No Campervans or Transits allowed. This property is owner managed and maintained.

I have hosted for over 12 years and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many interesting and lovely people along the way. If you prefer the flexibility of self check in, there is a key safe at the property for your convenience, and I can meet and greet, when possible, if required. I live in Knaresborough, making any assistance you may need, easy.

The River House is situated on Waterside and is just opposite the entrance to Mother Shipton's Cave. There are cafes and pubs, not to mention boating and ice creams available, as you stroll along Waterside. A short uphill walk takes you to the train station, the towns Market Square and Knaresborough Castle. The town holds a weekly market on Wednesdays with an Artisan market in the castle grounds once a month. This lovely little market town also boasts an array of individual shops, coffee houses, pubs and restaurants. Annual events, to name just a few, include; Bed Race day (June) Duck Race day (1st Jan) Tug of War (boxing day) Knaresborough Tractor Run (March) FEVA festival (August) Christmas Tree festival (December) There are also seasonal events at Mother Shipton's Cave, including Easter, Halloween & a Christmas visit to Santa! The petrifying well or dropping well at Mother Shipton's Cave is one of the oldest paying tourist attractions in England and has been in operation since 1630. A walk through the forest and a peak inside the prophetesses' birthplace gives the visitor an eerie sense of times gone by.
