Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this charming cottage in a village setting between the Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales, a great base for a memory-making couples retreat or family adventure.

Brimming with character, featuring exposed beams, recessed windows and original stonework throughout, this period cottage offers a wonderful insight into authentic Yorkshire village life. Rustic wooden flooring and a wood burner create a country cottage ambience in the kitchen/diner. The large wooden table invites the whole party to gather and plan tomorrow's adventure over some delicious local delicacies. The homely lounge couldn’t get any cosier; another feature wood burner beckons tired travellers to sit back and relax with loved ones. Offering rural views to wake up to, the two blissful bedrooms, one ground-floor en-suite king-size and one super-king-size zip-and-link (can be made up as a twin) upstairs, promise a dreamy rest. The sun-soaked cottage garden is the perfect spot for al fresco meals, whilst the shared games barn is ideal for children to let off some steam. On-street parking is available, and there’s a free village car park, less than 100 metres away.

What a beautiful property well decorated and furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a relaxing break. I stayed for a week but would have like to have stayed longer! There is a very pleasant and private front garden area with table and chairs etc with lots of cottage garden plants and while I was there, strawberries,raspberriesRead more and rhubarb were in season. The owner was extremely pleasant and made me feel very welcome which as someone returning back to Yorkshire I appreciated. All in all a top stay! Hide
