Situated in the heart of Nidderdale, "The Courtyard" at Duke's Place is a well-maintained discreet group of holiday cottages converted from the original stables, Granary and outbuildings which adjoin Duke's Place. Three charming Bed & Breakfast (B&B) rooms await you in the owner's Georgian home which, with the working stables, helps to form an enclosed courtyard that features a fountain in the centre creating a tranquil environment and a relaxing atmosphere.

Guests who choose to tour the Yorkshire Dales and visit the many beauty spots or historical buildings that are on our doorstep can be assured that upon their return they can unwind at their leisure and enjoy the many facilities that The Courtyard has to offer.

You may wish to simply relax and talk over the day's events in our peaceful surroundings whilst the children play in the log cabin playhouse in the Beech Wood. On the other hand you may elect to take advantage of our stables and go pony trekking, or stroll through the grounds where hens, ducks and geese freely wander, often followed by their offspring. We have 16 acres of grassland associated with Duke's Place, frequented by our horses and sheep, so there is plenty of scope for wandering.

The Nidderdale area is steeped in heritage with outstanding historical attractions such as Fountains Abbey and Ripley Castle both of which are less than 5 minutes drive away. Many more notable sites can be easily reached from the Courtyard, with Brimham Rocks, Ripon Cathedral, the picturesque market town of Knaresborough and Harrogate with its Conference Facilities no more than 15 minutes away by car.
