Eclectic nick-nacks, exposed stonework and original beams make this country retreat a real character cottage to escape to as a couple or small family. Sitting in the shadow of mighty Ingleborough, just 3.5 miles from the village of Ingleton with its captivating waterfalls, this picture-perfect property benefits from an exceptional location for those eager to explore Yorkshire’s ever-changing landscapes. One attraction is the famed Three Peaks Walk, a 24-mile round trip encompassing Ingleborough (1 mile), Whernside (10 miles) and Pen-y-ghent (9 miles), a rewarding hike for keen outdoor explorers.
Wander up to this stone cottage and first notice a grassy garden out front, complete with a table and chairs for enjoying your morning coffee with a view of the village green. Once inside, the farmhouse kitchen welcomes you with everything you need to whip up holiday feasts. Moving further in, find a delightful lounge/diner with an L-shaped sofa for you to sink into opposite a traditional wood burner and a more modern Smart TV – all you need for a cosy evening in. When slumber calls, two delightful bedrooms await over the first and second floors, one king-size room and a cosy twin, both served by the well-appointed family bathroom.
Ingleton is a chocolate box village with walking trails looping around it, the River Greta running through and a local pub and bakery for you to patronise. Explore the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (4 miles) to capture the scenes that put this village on the map. Similarly stunning, the Ribblehead Viaduct is a spectacular landscape to admire just 9 miles away. This feat of Victorian engineering is a vital part of the Settle to Carlisle railway route, a heritage journey offering regular steam train rides from Settle nearby (9 miles).
