Perfectly positioned for seeking Yorkshire Dales adventures, this sensational stone cottage makes a superb base for four guests hoping to explore the region on foot or two wheels. The former weaver’s cottage, which is also dog-friendly, has comfort at its core with space to unwind together both indoors and out - an ideal end to any excursion-packed afternoon. Cowling, a delightful village offering a slow pace of life, is just 1 mile away, while the livelier towns of Keighley (8 miles), Ilkley (12.5 miles) or Skipton (7 miles) can all be reached by car. The latter is lovingly known as ‘the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’, inviting visitors to park up here before walking into the mighty national park.
On entry to this rural retreat, feel instantly at home in the warm embrace of the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, an inviting living space with room to cook, dine and unwind after days of adventure. Set yourselves down on sofas around a central coffee table to enjoy a board game late at night, or simply pick a favourite film to watch when dinner is done. As you begin to nod off, find a king-size room and bunk bedroom calling your name from the first floor, both served by a refreshing shower room. Outside, unwind on the shared, south-facing patio with its breathtaking views and outdoor furniture – the perfect spot for a quiet and scenic morning coffee.
Once you’ve crossed over into the Yorkshire Dales, you’ll never fall short of a variety of beauty spots to explore each day. Highlights include Malham Cove (18 miles), a filming destination for one of the later Harry Potter movies, Bolton Abbey (15 miles) with its historic priory ruins and the Stump Cross Caverns (22 miles) on the outskirts of the heritage village of Pateley Bridge (27 miles). This latter destination can be found in the Nidderdale AONB, surrounded by endless beauty and verdant rolling hills.
