Nestled on the northern fringes of the Forest of Bowland, just off the outskirts of Austwick and the limestone scars of the Yorkshire Dales, is Orcaber Farm Retreat. With a beautiful finish and plenty of character oozing through the interior, choose to bring your loved one for a romantic getaway in this fascinating part of the country. Head into the lounge, on return from a long walk through heather-clad moors and windswept valleys and relax on the sumptuous sofa in front of the fabulous woodburning stove, taking centre stage on one side of the room. This open-plan living space also showcases a modern, well-equipped kitchen for you to prepare home-cooked meals together and dine at the table for two over a delicious bottle of wine. The décor is light and neutral and there are picture frames to brighten up your day, with images of the local area. Catch up on your day and make the most of an evening in before retiring to the super king-size double bedroom. Indulge with a hot soak in the stunning, freestanding bath tub, tucked into one corner of the room, or head into the en-suite for a refreshing shower before heading to bed. You also have plenty of storage to stow away your belongings and a dressing table to get ready at each morning, as well as bedside tables and considered lighting. Sit out on a balmy afternoon in the enclosed garden and watch the world go by with a refreshing drink in hand, as a horse greets you at the fence from the stable opposite. Head into the cosy village of Austwick and enjoy a night off from the cooking for a change by paying a visit to the local pub, serving home-cooked food. Set off the beaten track, you have access to many rural corners hosting a wealth of walking and cycling trails enveloped by stunning landscape scenery. Other attractions in the area include Ingleborough Cave, close to the village of Clapham with guided tours, the well-known, circular Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, along with Malham Cove, Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar. A wonderful retreat for two in a fine region of North Yorkshire.

Situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is the delightful village of Austwick, with a local pub as well as a shop and Post Office for visitors’ daily requirements. You are within reach of the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal, while the Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland beckon with plenty of walking and cycling routes.
