This modern one-bedroom cottage is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the pretty town of Settle. It''s a good base for a couple plus one hound wanting comfort, access to amenities, and countryside walks from the doorstep.

Leave coats and muddy boots in the entrance hall then take the stairs to the first floor and relax in the living area. It''s an attractive space with a good-size sofa that invites you to sit and chat about your day, or cosy up with a film on the TV. Come dinnertime, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance but if you prefer to dine in, a well-equipped kitchen is at your disposal. There''s also a lovely dining table, perfect for a romantic meal with your loved one. When it''s time to retire, head downstairs to the king-size bedroom. The neutral tones and natural finishes create a soothing atmosphere while luxurious linens and a plush mattress ensure a good night''s sleep. A shower room is also located on this floor. To the front of the cottage, a small patio area is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink. Pull up a chair, take it easy, and watch the world go by.

Settle is an ancient market town with a bustling weekly market and plenty of pubs, restaurants, and cafes. Hikers can explore the surrounding Dales or tackle the Yorkshire Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent (6 miles), Whernside (17 miles), and Ingleborough (7 miles). Alternatively, jump on the Ribble Way footpath and enjoy a 3-mile walk to the dramatic waterfall at Stainforth.
