Retaining much of its original charm, this stone cottage with a wood burner is a perfect place for a retreat for small families or groups of friends with dogs. Ideally located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, you’ll find adventure right on your doorstep, with the breathtaking sight of Aysgarth Falls just 9 miles away offering a whimsical walk and treats at the cafe.

Welcoming you into the property is the cosy open-plan living area which is furnished with two comfortable sofas beside the wood burner creating a wonderful area in which to unwind. The traditional dining table seats six, located just steps away from the pastel-hued kitchen which has been finished to a high standard and boasts an elegant Belfast sink. Make your way upstairs and you can take your pick from one of two king-size bedrooms or a double bedroom, each of which is styled with neutral decor and wooden furniture. Completing the property is the fantastic family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle for your enjoyment. The garden area is an oasis of calm, filled with a selection of plants which add interest all through the year, as well as enhancing the privacy of the area.

The local area is filled with a whole host of activities for all ages, including The Forbidden Corner (6 miles), a fascinating folly garden with a labyrinth of tunnels and surprises throughout. You could pack a picnic and head to Aysgarth Falls to experience a slice of North Yorkshire’s natural beauty or visit Bolton Castle to take an interest in the local history. To the north, you’ll find Richmond, a beautiful market town with a friendly culture and fascinating history waiting to be uncovered.

Cottage positioned in nice village with local pub a short walk from the house. Both upstairs and downstairs layout perfect with kitchen well stocked, for those that want to cook. Parking was a challenge and luckily we only had one car, suspect two would be a tight squeeze.

A really lovely cottage with very high standards. Tastefully decorated with all the necessary facilities provided. Slept like a log, really comfy beds in a nice peaceful location not far from Leyburn with all its shops etc.
