Only a stone’s throw from Otley town centre the apartment is spacious and recently renovated. It is a cosy hideaway on the lower ground floor, so please do not expect a panoramic vista. There are excellent public transport links to the surrounding Yorkshire and Lancashire beauty spots, Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate and only 10 minute drive to Leeds-Bradford airport. There is also a regular bus service to the airport from Otley; the A3 flyer.

Your apartment is steeped in history. Built in 1868, your stay is at the former Managers offices of Dawson, Payne and Eliot - engineers of the industrial Victorian era, who designed and patented the world famous, revolutionary Wharfedale presses. The property has been fully insulated and renovated. I have left one original detail visible on the interior, to evidence the age of the building... see if you can spot it in the lobby.
