Ripon, Yorkshire
🔌 Nearest public charging: · 1.2 mi (Open Charge Map)
Tucked away in Ripon, Yorkshire, Swallow Cottage is a cosy bolthole for two, well suited to a quiet weekend away from it all. There's plenty of history close by, with The Courthouse Museum, Ripon Prison and Police Museum, and Workhouse Museum all within a couple of miles, making for an easy day of exploring on foot or by car.
When it's time to eat, The George is a good option for a relaxed pub meal, or head to Garden Restaurant for something a little lighter. Knaresborough station is the nearest rail link, handy if you'd rather leave the car behind for part of your stay.
