“A historic property turned B&B, situated on the River Nidd and below the towering viaduct in the spa town of Knaresborough. Filled with charming quirks throughout, the property's character has not been lost in the renovation. Manned by a delightful host who is always willing to give local tips. ”

Teardrop Cottage

Combining spectacular location with cosy ambience, Teardrop Cottage in the spa town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire feels like a home away from home. Run more or less single-handedly by owner Mike Collingwood, it sits beside a river and almost directly beneath the arches of the town’s soaring Victorian viaduct.
