Beautiful well equipped cottage and delightful garden with resident free range hen! Perfect location for Harrogate and surrounding attractions and villages. A visit to the Ripley Ice Cream Company is highly recommended. Only drawback is the lack of grab handle to access the showers over both baths upstairs, although there is a walk-in shower in thRead moree downstairs bedroom. The original stone staircase is narrow, steep with a deep tread although there is a metal bannister to assist. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Scarah Cottange and did become used to the staircase with caution. Hide

We had a fantastic stay at Scarah Cottage. It's beautifully decorated, a great size and had everything we needed for a family of four. The views across the fields and down to Ripley Castle were wonderful too. The sheep next door and Mabel the chicken were a highlight for the children. One of the best places we've ever stayed. Five Stars
