This charming, stone-built, riverside cottage in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is perfect for a small, four-person family getaway with up to two canine companions. With a pretty cottage garden, a wood burner and a characterful open-plan living space, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

Enter the annexe to the owner’s property and you’ll find yourself in the airy yet cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a wooden beamed ceiling and stone flooring. Natural light pours through the glass patio doors onto the dining space with a wooden table with four antique, wooden high-backed chairs. Adjacent is a fitted kitchen unit with wooden cabinets, grey countertops and a peninsula. On the opposite side of the room is a wood burner next to a Smart TV, which are surrounded by two leather sofas and an armchair.

This is a spacious property, which had been immaculately prepared for our arrival. We know Wensleydale well and this cottage has an ideal location for exploring locally and further afield. We particularly liked the therapeutic outlook across the dale from the shared gardens. We hope to return before too long!
