Gaze out across the picture-postcard village of Askrigg and the Yorkshire Dales beyond when you stay at this magnificent apartment for two. One of seven exquisite properties set within the impressive house where the BBC’s original series of All Creatures Great and Small, based on the famous James Herriot novels, was filmed, it is an enticing romantic retreat. Set 5.5 miles from the charming market town of Hawes and 4.5 miles from Aysgarth, with its celebrated waterfalls, the one-bedroom, second-floor hideaway makes a sumptuous base for exploring the area, especially for those with a canine companion.
Let yourselves into your private quarters to discover accommodation brimming with character and lavish, boutique hotel style. At the heart of the retreat is the open-plan lounge/bedroom, where you can put your feet up after your exhilarating excursions. Open a bottle of wine or make a cup of tea and sit back on the sofa to enjoy a film on the Smart TV. When mealtimes beckon, head through to the kitchen/diner to prepare delicious meals with the provisions you have bought and to dine beside the window. Make fresh coffee in the machine here afterwards to enjoy back through in the main room. When you are ready to turn in for the night, soak for a while in the freestanding bath in the gorgeous bathroom before treating yourselves to an outstanding sleep in the luxurious king-size bed. There is no outside space with this splendid holiday home but the rolling countryside is within 200 metres.
Head into Hawes to potter in the shops, dine out and take a tour of the famous Wensleydale Creamery. Eager walkers can also follow a section of the long-distance Pennine Way from here. Visit Bolton Castle, 7 miles away, to see one of the country’s most impressive medieval castles.
