Explore enchanting Wensleydale from this inviting cottage in the market town of Leyburn during your Yorkshire stay. Sleeping three guests, the two-bedroom bolthole, which is perfect for a small family and also welcomes canine companions, is a characterful retreat with a wood burner for cosy nights in and a courtyard garden for summer lunches. Follow footpaths through the Yorkshire Dales; visit spectacular Aysgarth Falls, 7.5 miles away, and see historic Jervaulx Abbey, 6 miles away during your break.

Step into this stone hideaway to find yourselves in a comfortable, beamed lounge, where the wood burner is housed in a stone inglenook. Light a fire in here after autumn and winter walks and settle down to watch a film on the TV or DVD player. When everyone is hungry, wander on through to the kitchen/diner to prepare a tasty, homecooked meal to sit down to together at the table. Laundry facilities can be accessed externally. At the end of each enjoyable day, climb the steep, cottage-style stairs up to the first floor of the cottage. Here you will find a king-size bedroom, with a TV and a step down into a single bedroom. The family bathroom is also up here. Enjoy a cup of Yorkshire tea and a slice of parkin out in the courtyard together after spring and summer excursions. Parking is on the road, subject to availability.

Have a day out to Richmond, 9 miles away, with its charming shopping streets and many eateries. Visit the castle and see Richmond Falls while you are here. You can also stroll 1 mile alongside the River Swale from the town to Easby Abbey, where you can picnic in the ruins. Visit the Forbidden Corner, 4.5 miles from the cottage, with its labyrinths, tunnels and follies, all within a beautiful, 4-acre garden.

Silver Fern cottage is very comfortable and cosy. We had an enjoyable fortnight walking and cycling. It is possible to stay here and not use a car if you want to lower your carbon footprint. With careful use of the bus timetable there are many options for walks and days out. Being so close to Campbells supermarket is a huge bonus.

Silver Fern is a lovely cosy cottage in a fantastic location. Right in the centre of Leyburn but also a stones throw to the Leyburn Shawl. The cottage is really well equipped and a real home from home. We had a very relaxing Easter break with our 2 dogs and will definitely be back.

Silver Fern is a sweet little cottage in a great location. The living area is quite dark and only lit by lamps, and the switches are difficult to find if you arrive in the dark. The facilities are good, although we would have loved a dishwasher. The bed was really comfy, and so were the sofas. The staircase is steep and has a sharp bend at the topRead more. There is no handrail at the top section, and my husband fell all the way down the stairs on our 2nd morning. His injuries forced us to end our holiday early. Hide

Very good little cottage. We enjoyed being so close to Leyburn's amenities. Great meals at the Heifer (again) and the Sandpiper. Superb walks around Semerwater and the Wesley Circuit. Also enjoyed the Herriot museum in Thirsk, Hardraw Force and Dales museum at Hawes. So many walks still left to do, we will be back!
