We are a police family – I am retired and Lisa retires in May 2023. We again offer in 2023, almost exclusively to Narpo, our Garden Flat (as advertised in all issues of “Narpo News” and the Narpo website) which sits underneath our property, in the centre of Harrogate. This will be let out by the night (minimum 2 nights) to discerning sensible folk and will not be on any website or public social media. It is a great alternative to a hotel bedroom.
We are a gentle 5 minute walk into the town centre, with wonderful Spa town amenities – Turkish Baths, Park, Trains to York and, of course, Bettys Tea Rooms. Also a great selection of Bars and Restaurants and using Harrogate as a base, many attractions such as Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks, Thirsk (the home of Herriot) and the beautiful town of Knaresborough and its riverside walks.
The Garden Flat has off-street parking for one vehicle and we can securely accommodate bicycles on site. It enjoys a private front and rear entrance and has the benefit of fast fibre BT broadband throughout. The whole property is professionally redecorated annually.
The flat consists of one double bedroom, (5′ bed) and fitted wardrobes. Full size fitted kitchen with an eating area with stools and high end appliances, plus the essential Champagne and Wine glasses. A utility room with full size washing machine, full size vented tumble dryer, iron and ironing board. Bathroom with shower (no bath) and the lounge has the usual furnishings, USB charging and a brand new smart tv with freesat.
On arrival tea, coffee and biscuits will be there to use and a pint of semi-skimmed in the fridge to get guests off to a good start. Following a warm welcome, we will be discreetly absent, but handy should a problem emerge. Inside the flat will be town centre street maps, a free parking disc for use elsewhere in town and brochures of nearby attractions.
If you have one, well-behaved, quiet dog – please ring. (a dog fee of £10 per night would apply)
The business end! The cost for Narpo or the wider Police family is £95 per night (18% reduction from the standard rate of £116 per night) Any enquiries to me, Dick Rothwell, via dickrothwell@hotmail.co.uk. or 07894 577370
