About this property
Pepper Pot Lodge is a welcoming single-storey caravan resting on Lido Leisure Park in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, perfectly placed for riverside walks and days by the water. Step inside to find a light and airy open-plan living space, where large windows draw in the greenery of the surrounding woodland. The kitchen area is equipped with a gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and coffee machine, giving you everything you need to put together simple breakfasts before you head out or easy suppers after a day exploring. Share meals around the dining table, then settle in the sitting area, streaming your favourite series on the Smart TV as the electric fire brings a warm glow to the evening.
When it is time to turn in, choose between a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite cloakroom, or a twin room that is ideal for friends or children, while the shower room with walk-in shower offers an invigorating start to each morning. Outside, the decking and patio provide a pleasant spot to sit with a drink, listen to birdsong from the trees and plan tomorrow’s adventures, with off-road parking for one car and space for your four-legged friend to stretch their legs around the site.
Begin your stay by wandering along the River Nidd into Knaresborough, where cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and the market line the charming streets. Families will appreciate the on-site play park, riverside café and dog-friendly bar and restaurant, while nearby St James Retail Park offers handy stores and an M&S Foodhall for stocking up. Hop on the bus into Harrogate for elegant gardens and spa-town charm, or use the A59 to reach York’s historic streets or Wetherby’s riverside walks and racecourse. However you spend your days, Pepper Pot Lodge in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, makes a simple, well-placed base for exploring this part of Yorkshire.
Knaresborough is an ancient market and Spa town on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales, overlooking the River Nidd, and is one of the prettiest towns in North Yorkshire. Its location makes it ideal as a base for touring the stunning countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. For lovers of history, St John’s Church, Knaresborough House and the now-ruined Knaresborough Castle were built by the Normans in around 1100 AD. Other attractions in the town include Mother Shipton’s petrifying well, the Courthouse Museum, "Ye Oldest Chymist Shoppe in England" which dates back to 1720 and the quirky House in the Rock. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy wonderful walks by the river, cycling, climbing, fishing, boating or just sitting and taking in the tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The town centre has many interesting shops and galleries, and there is a colourful and lively market held on Wednesdays. The fascinating, historic cathedral cities of Ripon and York are close by, as are the Spa town of Harrogate, the great stately homes of Castle Howard and Harewood House, the Cistercian Abbeys of Fountains, Rievaulx and Jervaulx, and the castles of Middleham, Bolton and Richmond.
