Escape with your loved ones to this luxurious stone cottage sitting in a pretty complex of properties on the edge of the village of Wensley. Sitting in the heart of Wensleydale, this unique period home is exceptionally pretty and once served as railway station waiting rooms. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s the ideal retreat for families and groups of friends searching for a truly unique place to call home while they’re discovering the idyllic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales together. Spend wonderful days at Forbidden Corner exploring twisting pathways and hidden chambers, before returning to the cottage’s patio to pour yourself a glass of something cool and wait for the stars to come out.

As you step into the cottage you'll be welcomed by a wonderful, open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area that boasts elegant styling and state-of-the-art amenities. Take a moment to soak up the lovely decor, which features earthy colours highlighted by tranquil blues, before heading to the sleek kitchen area to whip up some dinner. Gather everyone at the stylish dining table, or head outside to the garden, fire up the gas BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of wine in the garden, or head back to the lounge area to warm your toes by the glowing open fire. At the end of the day, retreat to one of the two beautifully styled bedrooms - a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and a cosy king-size room. To complete the layout, you’ll find a relaxing, well-appointed bathroom.

Spend a blissful day wandering through Jervaulx Abbey (7.5 miles), which includes the impressive remains of a church, chapter house, dormitory and refectory. The picturesque grounds are also a fabulous spot for a picnic. Alternatively, grab your walking boots and head to Hardraw Force (15.5 miles).

Loved this 5 star cottage with high class decor and furnishings. The master bedroom and bathroom was very sumptuous and the little extras have a feel of a 5 star hotel room. Location was superb and outside space would be delightful in good weather.

Delightful location and the characterful property renovated to high standard. Bedrooms, bathrooms fantastic but the combined cooking, eating, relaxation room would be a tight squeeze for 4 people.

A very comfortable and luxurious experience in this cottage. It was extremely relaxing in this quiet location. A very generous welcome pack was provided and thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was wild and wet for much of our stay, but the cottage was a cosy retreat. We would love to return.

The cottage has been upgraded to a very high specification. They have spared no cost in the fixtures and fittings particularly in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The linen for both those areas was first class.

A stunning property in a peaceful location. The bedrooms, bathrooms and garden are amazing although the open plan living space is a little small which made food prep awkward. You also feel like you're sitting in the kitchen so not very cosy. Easy to find, good access and plenty to do locally.

Beautifully maintained cottage with great outside space including the former platform. Well equipped with some original features still in place. Well placed for walking, some trails from the property and for local towns such as Leyburn Hawes and Masham. Peaceful rural location. Local pub a short drive away.
