Tucked away in the vibrant market town of Settle, this charming stone-built cottage makes a wonderful escape for couples and small families keen to explore the southwest corner of the Yorkshire Dales and the northern reaches of the Forest of Bowland. Enjoy views over the surrounding hills, with scenic walks on your doorstep, and then return home to warm your toes on the cracking wood burner in the colourful lounge.

Inside, the cottage combines homely comfort with country style. The lounge is a warm and inviting place to unwind, with the wood burner nestled in a rustic brick fireplace.

The second bedroom occupies the entire top floor – a bright and airy family space with wooden beams, far-reaching views, a king-size bed, and an additional daybed perfect for a child. Outside, a raised decked area provides a peaceful space to soak up the views or dine alfresco. A few steps lead down to a generously sized garden filled with wildflowers and additional seating for those long, lazy afternoons. Parking is available on the road outside the property.

A couple of hundred metres from the heart of town, you'll find welcoming pubs, independent shops, and a variety of eateries, all set beneath the dramatic Castleberg Crag. Don't miss a trip on the Settle to Carlisle Railway or a visit to the fascinating Museum of North Craven Life.

Lovely cottage in a great part of Settle, fantastic view from the kitchen and loft bedroom. It felt very homely, and had everything you could possibly think of in the way of kitchen equipment and home comforts. I have raised the issue of security of the garden with the owners, as it is not currently secure for dogs due to gaps in the boundaries, aRead morend my dog coudn't be left unsupervised, which also meant we couldn't leave the back door open. We also had issues with full waste bins, which was resolved, with very good communication with both the company and the owner. This didn't detract from our enjoyment of the house, which is lovely.

The cottage is wonderfully homely and extremely comfortable. We didn't feel as though we needed to be out and about all day, and the nights were lovely - it felt like a proper home rather than a holiday cottage.

Great spot, lovely cottage with everything you need. Make sure youre ok with walking up hills. Settle is a great spot for exploring on foot or by railway. Enough choice for food and drink.
