After a day spent exploring this scenic part of the country, return to this idyllic three-storey holiday home on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This pet-friendly former school offers a characterful base for groups of six to explore the landscape on foot or unwind in the peaceful, enclosed garden, complete with fabulous rolling views.
As you approach the property nestled at the end of a quiet lane, you’ll feel like you’re entering your own private paradise. Tear yourself away from the patchwork pastures and woodland settings and enter the property, where you’ll immediately feel the stresses melt away. The lounge/diner is the heart of the house, with a glowing wood burner and a Smart TV for cosy nights in. In the well-equipped kitchen, a contemporary set-up promises to make cooking a breeze, while the dining table is perfect for hearty meals and celebratory dinners. When the weather calls for open-air dining, the fabulous Dales views will join you as you unwind in the enclosed garden, followed by games on the lawn. Three slumber-inducing bedrooms suit all party members, whether you choose the king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a cosy twin bedroom, or the compact bunk bedroom. The refreshing bathroom serves as a haven for those long post-walk soaks.
Pull on your walking boots and take to the Wainwright's Coast to Coast Trail, which runs through the village of Marske and is situated 150 metres away. Other waymarked routes include the 2.7-mile loop to Orgate Force Waterfall and a 7-mile circular route to Richmond. The iconic town of Richmond is 5.5 miles away and boasts winding streets lined with shops, pubs, historic buildings, and a cobbled marketplace.
