Lace up your walking boots and stride straight out along the Pennine Way or Pennine Bridleway from this handsome former railway cottage in Garsdale. Sleeping four guests, and happy to welcome pets, the two-bedroom holiday home dates back to Victorian times and captures glorious views out across the rolling Yorkshire Dales National Park. Head back after autumn and winter hikes to stoke up the wood burner or take in the views from the outside seating area during the warmer months.
Open the front door, hang your outerwear in the hall and wander on through to the lounge for a little rest and relaxation. Light the wood burner when it is chilly and take turns at choosing what to watch on the Smart TV. When mealtimes beckon, make your way through to the kitchen/diner to prepare some delicious dishes for your family or friends. Pour yourself a glass of wine and pull a chair up to the table in here as your Sunday lunch, with Yorkshire pudding, roasts in the oven. At the end of each pleasant day, climb the stairs to the king-size and double bedrooms. The family bathroom is also up here. Sit out in the fresh air to the front of the house on fine days. There is room for bikes behind the property, where a laundry room is also located. Parking for the cottage is in a layby, subject to availability.
Explore the natural beauty of Garsdale on foot or by bicycle. Plan long walks through the the Howgill Fells or up into the Pennines. Venture into Hawes, 6 miles away, to visit the market, ponder in independent shops and dine out in a in a pub serving fresh local produce. Take a tour of the Wensleydale creamery while you are here.
