Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep of this Horton-in-Ribblesdale cottage, on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk! A wonderful Horton-in-Ribblesdale cottage for a much-deserved break in the Yorkshire Dales.

Photos absolutely donât do this cottage justice - itâs beautiful, so cute and cozy! Itâs very well equipped, we have everything we need. The flapjacks, milk and Prosecco were a lovely treat. The flapjacks were perfect for our Three Peaks Challenge. Amazing location for the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Our only issue, which was no fault of the cottage whatsoever, was our neighbour. One of us parked in the parking space for next door, it was an honest mistake, we genuinely didnât realise. As soon as we pulled up, the man next door came out straight away and was quite rude to us, after having just done a 11.5 hour hike. There was no need for it at all, he could have politely advised weâd parked in the wrong place. We of course apologised and moved the car straight away, but it just caused unnecessary upset. Other than that, we had an amazing stay, and would definitely stay again when we do the challenge again!
