This charming one-bedroom stone cottage is set in an idyllic riverside location in Wensleydale. Nestling within a pretty village complete with a village green and pub, it's the perfect escape for couples looking for a peaceful country retreat.

Immaculately presented, the accommodation in this romantic Yorkshire cottage is all on one level. The open-plan living area is home to the lounge, kitchen and dining area, and features French doors leading out to a quiet and sheltered stone patio. The lounge has a comfy sofa to cosy up on and a living-flame stove to warm your toes by. Curl up here after a day's sightseeing and enjoy a movie with your loved one or pull up a chair by the fire and start that book you've been looking forward to for ages. There's a LCD TV with DVD and Wi-Fi is provided too. 

The kitchen has shaker-style units giving this area a bright and warm appeal. Adding to the cosy and welcoming vibe of this cottage, expect to find some delicious home-baked goodies on your arrival. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and the cupboards are well-stocked with all of the utensils needed to rustle up a romantic dinner for two. The dining area sits next to the kitchen and is a relaxing spot to settle down and eat, whatever the time of day. Guests also have access to a larger freezer, washing machine and dryer if needed. The bedroom comes complete with a cast iron king-size bed and chunky solid oak furniture. Two windows let in streams of light and the crisp cotton bedding is a joy to wake up in each morning. The bathroom sits right next door and houses a  shower cubicle. It's also got underfloor heating and a heated towel rail, always welcome additions. 

Outside, there's a lovely private patio just outside the lounge French doors. With a charming bistro table and chairs provided and the use of a BBQ, it's a heavenly spot for lunch or dinner alfresco in the warmer months. There's also a well-maintained lawn which is the perfect sun trap in the warmer months. And just down the lane within the grounds, there are plenty of places to throw down a rug by the river and enjoy a picnic with a bottle of bubbly or two.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. So peaceful and yet within easy reach of many pubs restaurants shops etc. The cottage had absolutely everything we could possibly need. The garden was very well kept and our dog loved it. We hope to return next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful relaxing break.
