Recharge your batteries in one of Yorkshire’s most scenic spots, with the beauty of Wensleydale on your doorstep and fantastic walks through the Yorkshire Dales close by. Situated in the village of Harmby, this charming, annexed cottage for four forms part of the 19th-century Thorney Hall and enjoys perfectly framed views of Middleham Castle (3 miles). The stone-built cottage is just half a mile from a thriving community pub - the ideal place to end a long walk and enjoy a chat with some friendly Northerners. Back at the property, a warm and welcoming atmosphere awaits, with cosy evenings spent beside the electric fire.

Full of character, this heritage cottage features original details throughout, including an impressive bread oven in the hallway.

A family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, the property offers private parking for one car on a gated driveway, as well as an enclosed lawn and patio garden with outdoor seating and picturesque countryside views.

Wander the short 0.5 miles into Harmby to discover the village pub and the beautiful Harmby Waterfall.

Nearby attractions include The Forbidden Corner (5.5 miles), a wonderfully quirky destination on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Venture further into the Dales to visit the spectacular Aysgarth Falls (10 miles) or the much-loved town of Hawes (18 miles), home to the famous Wensleydale Creamery.

Great cottage, we really liked it and enjoyed our stay, Very well equiped, all needs catered for. spotlessly clean, and a great layout. Great location, very quiet and peaceful and also ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. If we are ever visiting the area again wouldn't hesitate to re-book.

Very comfortable cottage in a great location, a short drive to Leyburn which has plenty of shops. Well equipped kitchen, we mostly cooked in and found everything we needed, plenty of crockery and cutlery, utensils and pans. This meant we could use the dishwasher efficiently. The beds were comfy, such a quiet area so we slept well.
