Errol House

Errol House is situated in the heart of Boston Spa a village built on the banks of the River Wharfe. The village developed when a mineral spa was discovered in 1744 and retains its air of Georgian grandeur from the times when the tourists came “To take the waters”. Errol House is situated midway between York and Leeds and is easily accessed via major transport links and roads. Errol House was opened as a short breaks service in 1999 by The Wilf Ward Family Trust. The House was adapted and developed from a family home and continues to have a homely, comfortable and safe atmosphere. Errol House has short breaks accommodation for 6 people it has a spacious lounge and dining room, there is a Wii, and touch screen computer for the guests. The lounge can be opened up to offer more space for individual activities there is a door from the extended lounge which leads into the garden.
