This scenic stone-built Skipton cottage provides charming accommodation for up to six guests within a Wharfe Valley sheep farm. Explore the wild beauty of Yorkshire and return to your getaway to be welcomed with a bubbling hot tub, a wood burner and sensational valley views.

Authentic country life awaits you as you pull up beside this characterful holiday home. The cottage feels inviting from the get-go with its exposed timbers, warm palette and wood burner that beckons you to unwind. This open-plan design invites guests to catch up over board games at the dining table or while enjoying dishes prepared in the farmhouse-style kitchen. The three bedrooms, comprising two king-size and a twin, are spread across two floors and boast a rustic design with muted hues. The crown in this idyllic jewel is the wood-fired hot tub that perches above the valley with panoramic views beyond. Soak up the moment while sipping on a fizzy beverage, or enjoy an al fresco meal out on the table and chairs. And, if you're bringing along your pampered pooch, let them run to their heart's content in the enclosed field, where they can be exercised away from the resident livestock.

A holiday at this picturesque home can be as busy or as relaxed as you like. Keen walkers will be delighted by the numerous walks available to them. The River Wharfe is just 200 metres from the property, giving you easy access to the Dales Way. This 81-mile trail follows much of the river and winds past historic landmarks, including Bolton Abbey (3.5 miles away), while The Strid (3 miles) offers a stretch of water that's rich in wildlife and woodland. Pick up locally sourced produce from Skipton (6 miles) or Grassington (7 miles), or eat out at one of Appletreewick’s welcoming inns (2.5 miles).
