About this property
Perched in the picturesque village of Austwick, North Yorkshire, at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is this superb four-bedroom dwelling, The Farmhouse . This delightful retreat combines traditional charm with contemporary amenities, offering a memorable stay amidst the stunning Yorkshire countryside. Upon entering your new abode, be immediately struck by its warm and inviting ambience; the spacious open-plan living space features a woodburning stove, plenty of dining seating for eight guests and a well-equipped kitchen with all the mod cons required to whip up culinary delights for the whole family. Venture out the pristine enclosed garden, perfect for alfresco dining or delighting a morning coffee before sinking into the bubbling waters of the hot tub, letting your cares melt away as you take in the breathtaking views of the rolling hills. On chillier evenings, escape to the sitting area and light the woodburning stove, curling up in its warmth as your delight a movie marathon on the Smart TV before treating yourself to a warm shower in the sleek shower room. When sleep calls, choose from four wonderfully-presented bedrooms including a ground-floor super-king-size and three further king-sizes on the first floor, two of which benefit from their own en-suite facilities so you can get ready or wind down for the day in style. Beyond your lovely base, Austwick offers a wealth of things to see and do, lace up your walking boots and explore the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, with its charming villages and scenic walking trails. For history enthusiasts, the nearby Ingleborough Cave and Clapham Village offer fascinating insights into the area’s geological and cultural heritage, while the bustling market town of Settle resides only a short drive away, featuring the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway. The majestic Malham Cove and the awe-inspiring Ribblehead Viaduct are also within easy reach, showcasing pretty backdrops for outdoor adventures and memorable photography. However you choose to spend your days here in North Yorkshire, do it from the fantastic base of The Farmhouse.
Situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is arguably one of the finest areas for walking in the region. With limestone pavements and scars, caves and open moors, the area has a wealth of natural interest and there are wonderful cycle tracks and walks on the doorstep. Austwick boasts a local pub serving excellent home cooked meals and a country hotel for something a little more special, as well as a shop and Post Office for visitors’ daily requirements. This quiet village is nicely off the beaten track, yet the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving distance.

We all had a fantastic time celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Owners let you get on with your holiday but were there if you needed anything. This was the first holiday home where there are not ârulesâ everywhere, all the owner said to us was â have fun and enjoy yourselvesâ The house is beautiful and the hot tub and garden is perfect. Thank you, Brian & Lesley

Very well equipped. Excellent bedding and towels. Excellent base for walking, waterfalls and caves. The property is in a "terrace" of four similar properties with the owners caravan site opposite. The first rental property that didn't have a local welcome pack or a folder with property information and emergency contact details. A great stay was had by all and wouldn't hesitate to return on a future occasion. Thank you.

We were shown around the property and Gaynor told us to see her if we had any needs at all . The property is very well furnished and comfortable with no expense spared We found that it stayed very warm so didn't need to leave the heat on very much , bedroom en suite showers and shared shower room were amazing. The hot tub was very welcome and had plenty of use , luckily we had great weather over our stay which made our time even more enjoyable . We can highly recommend staying here at Orcaber Farmhouse and will be booking another visit early next year hopefully . Thank you Gaynor ands Neil .
