After uncovering the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this charming former farmhouse set in the peaceful village of Burtersett provides an idyllic base for families and groups of friends to call home.
There’s plenty of storage space for boots and coats in the entrance hallway, which leads to the in-home sauna, the ultimate antidote for weary walking muscles. The wood burner in the mid-century-modern-style lounge creates a peaceful ambience that beckons tired travellers to relax. A beautiful, beamed ceiling also echoes the cottage’s rich history, whilst a second wood burner in the elegant dining room adds even more charm and character. A couple of steps from the dining room lead to the adjoining kitchen, which enjoys a contemporary finish that will not disappoint budding chefs. Upstairs, you’re met with a quaint relaxation area with lovely country views. There are also three peaceful bedrooms upstairs, an en-suite super-king-size, a king-size and a king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be made up as a twin). Lose yourself in sweeping views across Wensleydale from the comfort of the patio areas in the delightful garden. There is private parking available for three cars.
The quaint village of Burtersett is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, providing easy access to the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway (1 mile), the Pennine Way (1.5 miles), and the Yorkshire Three Peaks at Horton-in-Ribblesdale (15 miles). The spectacular Aysgarth Falls, a three-step cascade which flows through the centre of Wensleydale, and Hardraw Force, one of the country’s highest unbroken waterfalls, can both be reached within 8.5 miles. The small market town of Hawes, a mile away, is home to the Wensleydale Creamery, where you can watch the traditional cheese being made, and plenty of delightful independent shops. The 14th-century Bolton Castle and its lovely gardens can be reached within 12 miles.
