About this property

Threshfield 3 miles. Anglers Barn is a beautifully appointed, dog-friendly cottage in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled in the small village of Kilnsey near Threshfield. With nearby lakes to fish, crags to climb, and footpaths to trek, this family-friendly abode sleeps up to 10 guests for an unforgettable holiday in the great outdoors. Three off-road parking spaces ensure a fuss-free arrival to get your holiday started inside this stone-built, terraced cottage. An enclosed porch is ideal for leaving muddy boots and drying off the dog, before stepping through the rustic stable door and into the bright hallway. The spacious kitchen/diner features an AGA, electric oven and hob, a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and traditional dressers; everything you need for celebrating special occasions and hosting family dinners around the table for 10! After busy days exploring the Dales, chuck walking gear into the utility's washing machine and freshen up in the ground-floor bathroom, whether that's among the bubbles in the freestanding bath or in the walk-in shower. Climb the stairs to find the first-floor living/dining room, start the woodburning stove, and sink into the enticing sofas while your favourite film plays on the Smart TV; why not grab a book from the shelf and relax? The dining table for four overlooks the surrounding countryside to admire the view with your morning coffee. As night falls, choose between five lovingly furnished bedrooms, each with patterned cushions, wallpaper and bedside lamps to remind you of your rural surroundings; the ground floor hosts a bunk bed, while the first floor has two king-size, another bunk, and a single with a truckle under. Start your morning in the enclosed back garden to plan the day's adventures at the picnic table, while your canine companion stretches their legs on the lawn. Trout Farm is sure to be on your agenda; just around the corner, the farm has fishing lakes, and Kilnsey Trekking & Riding Centre offers horse riding through the countryside. When you fancy a break from cooking, The Tennants Arms is nearby, while the village of Threshfield hosts a convenience store and The Old Hall Inn. Venture into the Yorkshire Dales with plenty of walking and cycling routes to explore, such as Tour de Yorkshire, but for the experienced thrill seekers of the group, Kilnsey Crag is sure to please avid climbers! Spend the day in Grassington to wander the River Wharfe to Linton Falls and discover local history at the Folk Museum, or head to Malham to visit Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Cove, a limestone amphitheatre with valley views. Pack your clubs to play a game at Skipton Golf Club, but if that's not for you, the market town is home to the impressive Skipton Castle and plenty of traditional inns to stop for lunch. If you want to see more of the Dales, why not hop on the vintage steam train at Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway? However you plan to spend your holiday, gather your loved ones for a family-friendly holiday at Anglers Barn.

Threshfield is a small village in Upper Wharfedale that is bordered by the surrounding settlements of Grassington, Linton, Hetton, Cracoe, and Rylstone, which is home to the famed 'Calendar Girls.' Threshfield is a bustling neighbourhood. Grassington, one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is a short drive away, where you'll find traditional stone cottages, galleries, restaurants, and shops clustered around the cobbled market place, as well as a monthly farmers' market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce.
