Welcome to this charming, character-filled cottage – the perfect place to unwind after days spent exploring the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales with friends or family. With both a wood burner and patio garden, you’re assured a memorable stay at any time of the year.

Before stepping inside, take a moment to appreciate the cottage’s traditional stone exterior, mullioned windows and its peaceful, green surroundings. Inside, the warm and inviting open-plan living space is full of character, with exposed beams and a wood burner providing a lovely backdrop for relaxed evenings. A soft sofa invites you to curl up after a day outdoors, while the farmhouse-style kitchen has everything you need for easy cooking. Share meals and plan tomorrow’s adventures around the dining table. Upstairs, you’ll find two beautifully presented bedrooms – a king-size and a double – each finished with soft linens for a restful night’s sleep. The gleaming bathroom on this floor rounds off the interior layout. Outside, a secluded patio offers far-reaching countryside views. Sit back with your morning coffee or savour lazy meals outdoors at the table and chairs as you take in the rolling hills. The cottage also benefits from private parking for two cars.

From the doorstep, you’ll find an excellent choice of walking and cycling trails, including sections of the famous Pennine Way. Head 3 miles to Hardraw Force, England's highest single-drop waterfall, or venture 10 miles to the stunning wooded cascades of Aysgarth Falls. Enjoy incredible views from Buttertubs Pass, whether you're lacing up your boots for a climb or simply taking a scenic drive into Swaledale to browse local craft shops and discover more scenic trails. The welcoming village of Hawes (0.5 miles) is close by, boasting cafes, cosy pubs and the renowned Wensleydale Creamery.

A beautiful old cottage in a great location, comfortable and full of character. A bit drafty but quick to warm up. Bring slippers for the flagstone floors. You need to supply your own dishwasher tablets and laundry soap. Not much firewood given.

We were excited to stay in this house but unfortunately, for the price we paid it did not meet our expectations. The house was dirty and the furnishings are very tired. I do not mind rustic, but this was far below that, and we will not book it again. However, this house is in a great location and if it was to undergo a deep clean and updating it woRead moreuld be a lovely place to stay. Hide
