Property code: OC-85511

Escape to the rolling hills and tranquil valleys of the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, embracing a break characterised by scenic strolls, delicious food and lots of breathtaking walks across this romantic wilderness. You’ll be positioned on the cusp of Masham, a glorious town that attracts foodies in their droves thanks to the abundance of eateries and popular distilleries, perfect for all those adventures you’ll soon be enjoying as a twosome. Having easy access to a shop and cafe on-site is an added bonus, and there’s plenty to discover beyond the grounds of this attractive seasonal caravan site.

Duck through the attractive exterior and be swept off your feet by the marvellous open-plan living space with its high ceilings, wooden beams and stylish floor tiles, shrugging off your coat and perching at the breakfast bar with a soothing brew. The decor is modern-chic with a trendy twist as evidenced by the hanging lights and indoor plants, whilst underfloor heating creates a wonderful sensation of being at home. Grab a snack, switch on the TV and snuggle down into the sofa for an exciting film night, or simply pick up a book and appreciate the solitude.

A day of wandering around Masham will reward you with a whole host of local delicacies including homegrown produce and locally sourced goodies, so be sure to put your culinary skills to the test in your marvellous kitchen area. There’s an electric oven and hob and a microwave for any type of meal you wish to prepare, plus a fridge/freezer for storing your spoils. Relaxation is the key here, so there is even a dishwasher to take care of the washing up. The friendly owners have gone the extra mile and provided a fabulous welcome pack of treats and essentials to kick start your stay too.

At bedtime, the pretty bedroom awaits with its neutral walls and floral details just like a true country-cottage retreat. Gently sloping ceilings and timber beams add to the classic charm, and the crisply-dressed bed can be made up as either a set of twins or as a super-king-size bed. Before you rest your head, the elegant shower room is a sheer treat with its walk-in shower cubicle for long, refreshing showers. Bring along your favourite toiletries from home and fully embrace a night of pampering, easing your tired bones and perhaps rounding off with a nightcap before bed.

After a busy day exploring near and far, return to your cosy abode to bask in the fading sunlight on your private patio. Equipped with a bistro-style table and two chairs, it is a pleasant spot to unwind with a glass of wine in hand, watching the sunset and counting the stars when they come out to play. In terms of practicality, there is a shop and a cafe within the vicinity as well as a handy on-site laundry room. Off-road parking is available for one car, and further parking is available in the main car park if needed.

Our stay at the Claro cottage was lovely.

As for the bathroom, I wish we could have taken the shower with us! It was amazing and really good water pressure! The location is just on the outskirts of Masham, about a 10 minute walk into the village itself, just make sure you have a torch with you if youre walking into the village or back in the dark as the roads arent the best lit. There are some lovely shops, pubs and restaurants in Masham and a trip to Brymor Dairy is thoroughly recommended for delicious food and icecream. We cant wait to return and would definitely stay in the Claro cottage again. Hide
