Exuding character and charm through exposed stone walls and decorative beams, this picture-perfect holiday cottage offers a tranquil retreat for families or groups of up to six who seek a relaxing escape to the Yorkshire Dales. Feel the warmth of this traditional country cottage, as you step inside the inviting snug and take two steps up to the pretty cream shaker-style kitchen, and discover a plethora of appliances to help you throughout your stay. Rest and recuperate from a long morning stroll in the homely sitting room, as you place another log on the eye-catching woodburning stove and allow yourself to sink into one of the plush cream sofas that surround a contemporary flat-screen TV. Continuing through the ground-floor, the dining room provides a convivial space to entertain your nearest and dearest, with the beautiful antique grandfather clock sure to strike up a conversation, whilst a handy cloakroom lies just a few steps away.

Pour yourself a large glass of wine and delight in a long soak in the bathtub that rests in the family bathroom across the way, also home to a spacious walk-in shower where you can get ready for the day ahead. Embrace the fresh countryside air and awe-inspiring views with a picnic on the lawn in the back garden, or escape the excitement with your favourite book as you sit out front on loungers or at the lovely garden table on the front lawn.
