  • Stunning countryside cottage surrounded by rolling dales
  • Enjoy the beautifully furnished summerhouse with far-reaching views where you can unwind with a book or watch for wildlife
Property code: OC-DS226

Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and just 6 miles from Hawes, this two-bedroom stone cottage has its own spring-fed water supply. It’s a great choice for a couple or friends looking for tranquillity and long countryside walks straight from the door.

Homely comfort sweeps through the interior of this neat cottage with artwork on the walls, pastel shades, and soft furnishings creating a welcoming atmosphere. In the lounge, light the wood burner and settle back on the sofa with a film on the TV with DVD player. When it’s time to eat, you’ll find a light and airy kitchen equipped with everything you need to rustle up a meal and then serve it at the dining table with seating for three people. There’s also a WC/Utility room on the ground floor. On the first floor, choose between a king-size bed and a single bed with both bedrooms boasting beautiful countryside views. The king-size bedroom also has a pretty window seat so you can sit and gaze at the glorious vistas. While the interior is charming, the outside is the real star of the show. Sit at the patio table and absorb the peaceful surroundings or enjoy a glass of something in the summerhouse and idle away the hours gazing at the hills.

Keen walkers and cyclists can spend the day exploring the beautiful landscape with trails straight from the door or take a visit into Hawes, with its selection of pubs and restaurants, is just 6 miles away and is home to the Wensleydale Creamery where you can sample Yorkshire’s famous cheese.

This is an away from it all holiday or you can visit some of the excellent local attractions. The owners are superb, very communicative and want the best for your holiday. There is a wonderful summerhouse thaRead moret my wife and I had a lazy day just reading and admiring the countryside, we spotted two deer and many small birds. The shower is a dream, I wish i had one at home, and the underfloor heating a bonus in the morning whilst I was making tea and cooking toast. All in all i would say one the best holiday cottages we have visited. Hide

The location is excellent with stunning views, the sound of the river and local wildlife, and we could have happily spent our holiday solely at the cottage as it had everything we needed. The summerhouse was a lovely place to relax, and we appreciated the effort that had clearly been taken with the garden. The cottage was cosy, welcoming and spotRead morelessly clean with tasteful touches that made it feel like a home from home (including a welcome hamper, fresh flowers and herbs in the kitchen window, and a hamper of games for rainy days). The hosts had provided a range of leaflets about places to visit, maps, and detailed information on local walks - really helpful for planning days out. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage for a relaxing retreat! Hide

Lovely, well-equipped cottage in a wonderfully peaceful rural location. The summer-house is a real bonus enabling those staying to make the most of the landscape views without being exposed to the elements (or the midges).
