About this property
Lothersdale 2 miles. Skipton 5 miles. Award-winning Street Head Farm is something a bit special! Taking its name from a little-known Roman route across open farmland, it is situated in a wonderful elevated position and offers incredible open views across glorious Dales countryside. The property is stone-built and has been completely renovated to offer superb holiday accommodation, which is furnished to a high standard. Care has been taken to retain its original charm and features include stone flagged floors and original beams. The owners live on a nearby working farm and personally welcome visitors.
Nestled in a peaceful valley of the Pennine Hills is the charming village of Lothersdale, just five miles from the market town of Skipton. At one time, this lovely little town was home to the famous writer, Charlotte Bronte, who went on to base Gateshead Hall from her novel âJane Eyre' on Stone Gappe House where she was governess. Many of the visitors today come to the village for its excellent walking routes as it is situated along the Pennine Way - on the stretch from Cowling to Gargrave. The village pub is well worth visiting and serves food whilst the nearby town of Skipton provides an excellent range of amenities. Just a short drive away is the town of Haworth, the Bronte's home and the famous Worth Valley Steam Railway.

The views were spectacular and the farmhouse was well equipped for what we needed. Great location, we would stay again.

The house was nice, spacious, and clean. The location was amazing, with lots of beautiful walks starting right from the farmhouse. The owner was so kind and even took us to watch the milking, explaining everything that was going on. We would come again if it hadn't already been booked for next year!

More than adequate for the 10 people in our party. The grandchildren loved it. Lots of wildlife including a Little Owl, a Stoat and nesting Curlews. Be aware that the water is pumped from a well so the first use of the day was quite volatile and needs to run off for a bit
