Occupying an elevated location at the head of the Garsdale Valley, this former railway cottage makes a charming base for visitors to the Yorkshire Dales. Located near the Settle-Carlisle railway line, this Victorian property boasts mesmerising views over the dales and spacious and sophisticated interiors. With ample accommodation for four guests, this dog-friendly cottage is a restful retreat with many attractions, amenities and walking routes nearby.
Set in a small, secluded terrace, this two-storey cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to offer everything you need for a comfortable stay. Original features blend seamlessly with stylish furniture, calming colour palettes, and lots of homely touches to create a warm and welcoming abode. Cosy evenings are a given in the light and spacious lounge, which has two deep sofas, a warming wood burner, and a picture windows with gorgeous views. Prepare home-cooked meals in the beautifully equipped kitchen, and savour your creations over a bottle of wine around the family dining table. Two inviting bedrooms, a king-size and a double both with glorious views, call you upstairs for a blissful night’s sleep, while a family bathroom completes the interior. Outside, a picnic table in the open garden offers a lovely spot to sip a cuppa and take in the view.
This location is a delight for walkers, with many routes on your doorstep including the Pennine Bridleway, a 205-mile trail that passes the cottage, and a 3.5-mile circular route that joins the cottage with Garsdale Railway Station. If you’re a fan of Wensleydale cheese, head to nearby Hawes (5.5 miles), home of the Wensleydale Creamery, as wall as the Dales Countryside Museum. More great walks can be found here, including two magnificent waterfalls at Hardraw Force and Aysgill Force (5.5 and 16 miles respectively).
