The Old Post Office
Ripon, Yorkshire
The Old Post Office is a spacious cottage in Ripon, Yorkshire, with room to sleep six, making it a solid choice for a family gathering or a group of friends exploring the Dales. Thirsk station, 4.8 miles away, offers a rail link for those not driving.
History is close at hand too, with Ripon Prison and Police Museum, the Workhouse Museum and The Courthouse Museum all around four miles from the cottage. It's an easy base for a day spent moving between the three, with plenty of Yorkshire countryside to enjoy on the way back.
