With two crackling wood burners, an enclosed garden with seating, and a pub nearby, this charming cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales makes for the perfect retreat for families or groups with the dog in tow. Surrounded by stunning trails to be explored on foot or bike, guests can immerse themselves in nature and detach from everyday life.
This cute cottage has been lovingly restored to a high standard, yet still has bags of charm and traditional features. Step into the cosy, country-style kitchen/diner, where you can fire up the wood burner as the chef works their magic in the well-equipped kitchen space, before gathering around the table to reflect on the day’s adventures over supper. Head to the welcoming snug where you can sink into the comfortable sofas in front of the wood burner and Smart TV, as any musicians discover the upright piano. Walk past the utility room and head upstairs to find the three characterful bedrooms that await; two inviting double rooms, and a single bedroom that can be requested if you’re bringing a fifth guest. Completing the interior is a well-appointed family walk-in shower room. Outside, enjoy a glass of something from the table and chairs that overlook the surrounding hills, and let littles ones and pooches play safely in the enclosed garden. If you’re bringing bikes, there’s secure storage for them outside.
Garsdale offers a wide range of scenic walks and bike rides across the moors from your front door. Divert your walk to the village’s charming pub (1 mile), where you can enjoy locally-sourced food and drink. Explore the pretty market town of Hawes (6.5 miles), home to a great selection of independent shops, pubs, and cafes on its cobbled streets, and visit impressive Hardraw Force Waterfall (5.5 miles), the largest single drop waterfall in England.
