Property code: OC-G0051

Uncover this stunning two-bedroom luxury holiday cottage tucked away in the vibrant market town of Settle. Dating back to the 19th century, this character stone building has been decorated and styled to create a beautiful and relaxing space for guests. With its fantastic location just a stone's throw from the town square, this gorgeous cottage is perfect for those who enjoy having pubs, cafes and shops within a short stroll of their holiday escape.

 

This handsome building was once home to Dugdales Agricultural Engineers and the original signage now takes pride of place on the kitchen wall. With its exposed beams, dramatic double height living space and upside-down layout, it's bursting with character and quality at every turn.

 

You enter the house via a small entrance porch complete with a church pew and coat rack, perfect if you need to leave muddy boots or coats from walking in the Dales. This opens out into that fabulous light-filled space which is home to a sleek contemporary kitchen and dining area next door while underfloor heating throughout downstairs keeps your toes toasty warm.

 

The shaker-style kitchen is the perfect backdrop to the clean and elegant ambiance in here. There's a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave and ceramic hob for your convenience in addition to cupboards stocked with all the equipment needed to rustle up something good. You can choose to eat at the dining table or perch yourself at the breakfast bar, which also doubles up as a rather good spot for a pre-dinner glass of bubbly.

 

Make your way up the bespoke oak staircase to discover the beautiful and spacious sitting room. With a stunning wood burner at its heart and original beams overhead, retreating to this space is a real delight. For your entertainment there is a TV with Freeview and a DVD player. Wi-Fi is available and there's also a DAB radio and a selection of books and games.

 

There are two gorgeous bedrooms in Dugdales, both of which boast king-size beds, have en-suite shower facilities and have beds dressed in the finest crisp white bed linen. The first of the bedrooms is on ground level, a room with real wow-factor due to its floor-to-ceiling arched window which has venetian blinds as window coverings and handsome sleigh bed. The second bedroom is upstairs next to the sitting room, another charming room with a grown-up stylish appeal. Both bedrooms come equipped with TV/DVD players and hairdryers.

 

Outside the property there is a pleasant stone and cobbled patio area complete with outdoor furniture, a lovely little spot for lunch alfresco or an afternoon tipple. And of course, just a few steps down the path takes you out into Settle's much-loved market square.

 

Lockable storage for bicycles is available next to the cottage if you want to bring your two wheels along. Please Note: This property is accessed by a short, cobbled path. A 24-hour car park is located 50 meters away with week-long parking tickets available.

We are a couple in our early 60s. We loved this property and the location. The house was clean, warm and comfortable. It feels airy and spacious yet cosy at the same time. There is plenty of light from the velux windows. There is no view from the windows in the walls as the glass has a frosted effect but this makes you feel cocooned from the world Read morewhilst only being a few steps away from the town and surrounding area and all it has to offer.

Enjoyed our stay in Dugdales Barn - clean, comfortable and well equipped, with a few grocery essentials to get us started on arrival. Its right in the centre of Settle so you can just roll out of bed and into the town for refreshment, but at the same time feels quite tucked away for privacy. We had some really good food at The Golden Lion.

The cottage is cosy comfortable and very well equipped. A superb winter bolt hole right next to town centre but on a quiet side road. Pubs cafes and restaurants two minutes walk. Food at the Golden Lion was really good. Although no parking at cottage the car park was one minute walk so not a problem. The welcome pack is a lovely thought.

Dugdale's Barn is beautifully designed and presented. During our stay the outside temperature rose to a maximum of 2C during the day. The Barn remained warm and cosy throughout. It is well equipped and ideally situated just off the market place in Settle. James and Amy provided any advice and assistance we needed.

We enjoyed our week at Dugdale Barn. It's spacious, well equipped, warm and centrally located. The 2 bedrooms were nice and showers good. The owners had left wine, bread, biscuits and milk, which was a nice touch. There are no toiletries in the showers. Parking is an issue but there's a carpark nearby. Nevertheless, a nice house.
