Set in the peaceful village of Fearby, this charming stone cottage is a wonderful base for friends or family groups travelling with dogs, surrounded by rolling Yorkshire countryside. There's a cracking wood burner for cooler evenings, and gardens front and rear so that you can follow the sun throughout the day.
Inside, the cottage opens into a welcoming porch, an ideal place to store outdoor gear after a day exploring the Dales. The lounge sits just beyond, centred around the wood burner with comfortable seating arranged for sociable relaxation. A country-style kitchen and dining area sits to the rear, well-suited to preparing meals while looking out across the garden and surrounding fields. The family bathroom is located on the ground floor and includes a shower over the bath. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms await: a double and a king-size room, with the king-size benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. Outside, a small front garden faces south and includes a bench positioned for morning sun and countryside views. To the rear, a fully enclosed patio garden catches the afternoon and evening light, bordered by open farmland. Off-road parking for one vehicle is available directly outside the cottage.
A traditional village pub sits 100 metres away, while the nearby market town of Masham (2 miles) brings together independent shops, cafes and additional dining spots. From the doorstep, walking routes lead into the Nidderdale National Landscape, known for its dramatic scenery and wide-open views, while the intriguing Druids Temple – a quirky stone monument often compared to a miniature Stonehenge – is a 3-mile drive away. Further afield, the waterfalls at Aysgarth and West Burton (20 miles) make for memorable day trips, and the popular towns of Leyburn (10 miles) and Hawes (25 miles) offer local markets and famous Wensleydale cheese.
