The kitchen is well equipped with a range cooker, microwave oven, double height fridge and separate freezer as well as a coffee machine. Alongside the kitchen is a good sized utility room with washing machine and dryer and additional storage.

The separate dining room seats 12. Guests in the past have used local companies to have that special meal cooked.

The spacious sitting room boasts a large wood burning stove and French windows lead out to an enclosed west-facing garden with barbeque and seating.

For those less mobile, there is a downstairs bathroom with shower and bath. Alongside it is a double bedroom accessible from the front door without any steps .

In season guests also have shared use of the 15m outdoor swimming pool, the grass tennis court and croquet lawn. The estate's extensive gardens and grounds are a delight, even in winter.

There is dedicated parking next to the front door.

The perfect base, conveniently situated just off the A59, 15 minutes from the A1, from where to explore all North Yorkshire has to offer, whether it's the medieval city of York just 8 miles away, (park and ride 10 minutes away), the spa town of Harrogate or the vibrant city of Leeds. If the countryside appeals, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales National Park are nearby. Or simply stroll through the estate gardens exploring the small 17th century chapel as you go.

Well located for famous annual Yorkshire events like the Ebor Races, the Harrogate Flower Shows and the Great Yorkshire Show.

Whatever the season, it is a short walk from the front door to the River Ouse where public footpaths provide scenic walks. In the winter tuck up in front of the large log burner after a day out in York or Harrogate or exploring the countryside.

    We had such a lovely two days celebrating birthdays. The house is beautiful and so are the grounds. We had everything we needed. I have given a good for the area because we could not use the pool.

    We all had an amazing stay. The property was incredible, so much history that was explained in all the rooms. The pool was brilliant and a lovely size. The walks around the estate were great, we all loved the horses. I can’t speak highly enough of this place. We hope to return.

    A wonderful weekend, the perfect house, spacious, well equipped, spotless, and a lovely welcome basket of goodies and a birthday balloon-so thoughtful. Perfectly situated for a quiet weekend and easy access to York and local tourist spots. We had a lovely time, thank you.

    Lovely spacious property. The surroundings are so peaceful. We loved having the horses all around. The croquet and the swimming pool were great and so good to have them on site. Really close to York and lots of things to do. The hosts were very quick to answer questions, show us where we could play football and cricket and provide us with things we needed for the house. Overall very happy with our experience

    My whole family enjoyed their stay. The pool was a big hit, as was the tennis court, and croquet lawn. Facilities were excellent, friendly owners who went above and beyond our expectations. Would highly recommend and plan on another visit.

    Prince Rupert House is a very beautiful house on a country estate. It has an outdoor pool which our grandchildren loved. Also croquet, tennis court and lots of walks. We had no issues with the house … it slept 10 comfortably and would accommodate 12. Great place to go and relax. 25 minutes from York and 30 minutes from Harrogate. All in all a lovely time together as a family. No complains at all. I can heartily recommended this place. They also have smaller properties too.
