Located superbly to take advantage of York, Harrogate/Knaresborough, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and all the facilities that Yorkshire can offer.

The kitchen is well equipped with a range cooker, microwave oven, double height fridge and separate freezer as well as a coffee machine. Alongside the kitchen is a good sized utility room with washing machine and dryer and additional storage.

The separate dining room seats 12. Guests in the past have used local companies to have that special meal cooked.

The spacious sitting room boasts a large wood burning stove and French windows lead out to an enclosed west-facing garden with barbeque and seating.

For those less mobile, there is a downstairs bathroom with shower and bath. Alongside it is a double bedroom accessible from the front door without any steps .

Bedroom 5 downstairs - Super King (can be converted to twin if pre-arranged) with next door bathroom/shower room

In season guests also have shared use of the 15m outdoor swimming pool, the grass tennis court and croquet lawn. The estate's extensive gardens and grounds are a delight, even in winter.

There is dedicated parking next to the front door.

The perfect base, conveniently situated just off the A59, 15 minutes from the A1, from where to explore all North Yorkshire has to offer, whether it's the medieval city of York just 8 miles away, (park and ride 10 minutes away), the spa town of Harrogate or the vibrant city of Leeds. If the countryside appeals, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales National Park are nearby. Or simply stroll through the estate gardens exploring the small 17th century chapel as you go.

Well located for famous annual Yorkshire events like the Ebor Races, the Harrogate Flower Shows and the Great Yorkshire Show.

Whatever the season, it is a short walk from the front door to the River Ouse where public footpaths provide scenic walks. In the winter tuck up in front of the large log burner after a day out in York or Harrogate or exploring the countryside.

Lovely place with great facilities
Lovely spacious property. The surroundings are so peaceful. We loved having the horses all around. The croquet and the swimming pool were great and so good to have them on site. Really close to York and lots of things to do. The hosts were very quick to answer questions, show us where we could play football and cricket and provide us with things we needed for the house. Overall very happy with our experience

Great property
Prince Rupert House is a very beautiful house on a country estate. It has an outdoor pool which our grandchildren loved. Also croquet, tennis court and lots of walks. We had no issues with the house … it slept 10 comfortably and would accommodate 12. Great place to go and relax. 25 minutes from York and 30 minutes from Harrogate. All in all a lovely time together as a family. No complains at all. I can heartily recommended this place. They also have smaller properties too.

There is also the use of a good size pool. Good location to visit the surroundings areas in Yorkshire. The owners were also very helpful and assisted us with all our queries. Recommend.

Enjoyable retreat
Enjoyed the spacious house and the amenities , the kids and younger adults enjoyed the pool although it was only 18 deg outside and a bit windy, good list of local eateries all were good. Away from all the hustle and bustle of the city but also only 10-15 minutes car drive away. Park and ride close by also. Enjoyed our family get together.

Excellent weekend with friends
Stayed with 10 friends on a stag weekend. The property and grounds are beautiful and steeped in history. A bit out of the way, but if you have a car, it's not too far to get into York and see the sights. Amazing for stargazing on a clear night. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming and accommodating. Nice comfy beds. Showering in the bath took a bit of getting used to but we managed! A note for any disabled guests: there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor but there is a step to get into the shower and there are no handrails. This ended up not mattering to us as the member of our party who used a wheelchair was unable to make it. Overall, a lovely weekend. Thank you!
