Savour a stay in the idyllic Yorkshire Dales National Park, choosing this handsome stone cottage as your base for adventure. Surrounded by dry stone walls and pastures where livestock gently graze, the peaceful setting promises a truly restful break. The bijou abode accommodates four guests and is pet friendly, making it ideal for a small family or a couple seeking extra space. Positioned on the edge of the village of Ravenstonedale, this charming Cumbrian destination offers a pub, a golf club and a wealth of walking and cycling routes right from your doorstep.
Decorated with stylish contemporary touches that complement its original cottage features, this end-terrace property has been lovingly renovated to create a wonderful place to stay. Step into the stone-flagged lounge, where plush rugs, comfortable seating and a wood burner keep things cosy. The original stone flooring continues into the kitchen/diner just next door. Upstairs, two bedrooms - a king-size and a twin - are decorated in soft tones with antique furnishings. They're reached via steep cottage stairs, with a family bathroom conveniently located beside them. Outside, a furnished open courtyard offers a spot to sit in the fresh air, and an outhouse provides a utility space with laundry facilities. Off-road parking is available for one car.
While Ravenstonedale offers a small selection of amenities, the larger town of Kirkby Stephen is just 5 miles away, with shops, pubs and attractions to explore. This ancient market town is a hive of activity, home to a heritage railway station on the famed Settle-Carlisle line. Follow the winding River Eden from the town centre to the Podgill Viaduct (5.5 miles), a striking feat of engineering. In fact, the Eden Valley Viaduct walk is an excellent choice for discovering even more of the local beauty surrounding the area.
