Explore the natural beauty of both Cumbria and Yorkshire when you stay at this enticing stone cottage in Garsdale. Sleeping seven guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly hideaway sits in beautiful, mature gardens, in a picturesque valley, 7.5 miles from Hawes. Ideal for riverside walks and hikes through the Pennines, it is also within reach of the Lake District for day trips.
Let yourselves in via the front door in the stone porch and wander into the impressive lounge, with its flagstone floor and heavily beamed ceiling. Light a roaring fire in the wood burner, then watch TV, play games or simply relax and listen to music. Head into the kitchen/diner, with its whitewashed stone walls, to prepare hearty English breakfasts to set everyone up for the day. Cook and dine in here in the evening too or gather around the larger table in the dining room. A utility room and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room are also downstairs. The first-floor accommodation is reached via two staircases. Climb the wooden stairs to the games room, where there is a pool table, sofa bed and shower room. The stone stairs lead to a twin bedroom and a king-size, which has an en-suite bathroom and some limited head height. The family bathroom is also here. Make the most of the beautiful gardens, with their scenic views and many gorgeous spots to enjoy. Dine out here as often as possible and take the children and pets down to the stream and river, supervising them at all times.
Head into Hawes to shop, dine out and visit the Dales Countryside Museum. Spend time in Kirby Stephen in Cumbria, 13 miles away, which is the gateway to the picturesque Eden Valley. Discover the market town of Kendal, 19 miles away, and from here, explore the southern Lakes.
