Look out over the dales towards the Addlebrough plateau from this Yorkshire retreat near Askrigg. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, stone getaway nestles in picturesque countryside, 6 miles from Hawes and 11.5 miles from Leyburn. Perfectly positioned for walks and cycle rides through the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it has a wood burner for autumn and winter evenings in, and a stone terrace for summer dining.
Make your way into the cottage by taking a step over the threshold and into the generous lounge/kitchen/diner. Spread out in here to make a cup of tea to enjoy on the comfortable seating in front of the TV or at the table. Take turns at preparing meals, chatting to your friends or family then laying the table when it is time to serve up. Choose to wander through to the lounge, with its beautiful wooden and beamed ceiling, after dinner. Fire up the wood burner in here when the weather is cold, play games together or watch the Smart TV. A utility cupboard and a drying cupboard are also downstairs. Head up to the first floor at the end of each busy day to enjoy a good night’s sleep in one of the two king-size bedrooms or the super-king-size, which can also be made up as twins if discussed at booking. A family bathroom and a family shower room are also up here. Spill out into the garden on warm days, relaxing on the terrace as the BBQ heats up and the children play on the lawn. There is parking here for three cars.
Visit Aysgarth Falls, just 4.5 miles from your base. Head into Hawes to wander the charming streets and tour the Wensleydale Creamery. Take the children to the Forbidden Corner, 12 miles away, with its labyrinths and tunnels to explore.
