Welcome to Yorkshire's 'Golden Triangle'! On the outskirts of Knaresborough, just three miles away from Harrogate and within easy reach of York, BEST WESTERN Dower House Hotel & Spa offers points of interest, shopping hotspots and countryside beauty in every direction... which makes the nearby A1(M) all the more convenient! And if you want to stay in Knaresborough, our traditional market town home is full of beautiful river walks and historical landmarks such as Mother Shipton's Cave and Castle ruins. The hotel is an ideal base for seaside outings too, with both Whitby and Scarborugh to the East. To the West, The Lake District offers more charming choice, and Newcastle and Northumbria to the North complete the compass of character! This Originally a 15th Century retreat, the hotel has been sympathetically (and stylishly) extended to make room for a fully equipped leisure club. Restaurant 48 is renowned for excellent cuisine, fine wines and personal service in a relaxed atmosphere.
