The Old Coach House - Holiday Cottage - Harrogate

2025 is OPEN for bookings at The Old Coach House
…just in case you want to make plans :0)

Harlow Carr Gardens never disappoints…sadly dogs generally not allowed, but they do offer about 4 days a year when we can take our furry friends. Keep an eye on their website.
