Finding high-quality self-catering accommodation for groups can prove something of a challenge, especially if you’re seeking a peaceful, private escape in a unique location surrounded by glorious countryside.

At Prince Rupert House – which was built in the 1860s as a self-contained wing of the historic Red House – you can forget the stresses and strains of everyday life and focus on enjoying the company of your family and friends at the heart of a traditional English estate. With the Estate’s grounds extending across 70 acres of stunning North Yorkshire countryside, overflowing with wildlife, woodlands, flowers, and footpaths, you’ll never be lost for something to do. Or if you’d prefer some rest and relaxation, Prince Rupert House offers plenty of peaceful spots for some downtime, either indoors or within its own private garden.

And what’s more, this spacious five-bedroom property is bursting with character, thanks to period details such as an arched chimney housing the old Red House school bell, antique tiled flooring, huge rooms with high ceilings and wonderful views, cast-iron radiators, and five sumptuous bedrooms – naturally named after Royalist families as befits the English Civil War heritage of the Red House Estate.

Prince Rupert House combines the craftsmanship of a bygone era with up-to-date fixtures and fittings, including a well equiped kitchen and modern bathrooms, that are guaranteed to give you and your loved ones a truly memorable visit.
