Families looking for a cosy home from home in the heart of the countryside will love this characterful cottage. There is plenty of relaxing space, from the designed-for-comfort living room to the enclosed garden with its furniture for al fresco dining. You’ll be located in charming Askrigg: walk through the cobbled main square and enjoy a pint in the countryside pub. More Dales highlights await nearby including market town Hawes (5.5 miles) and historic fortress Bolton Castle, which you’ll find in the rural village of Castle Bolton, 7 miles away.

Up a couple of steps, pass through the wooden door, hang your coats and boots in the porch and make yourself at home in the living room with its traditional furnishings, chequered rug, framed artwork and overhead beam. Fire up the multi-fuel wood burner in the feature fireplace and lounge on the plush sofa or armchairs to watch TV. Prepare dinner for all in the kitchen that’s fully equipped with everything you could possibly need to whip up a hearty meal. Up 13 steps, relish a relaxing soak in the bathroom’s tub before settling into the two double bedrooms with their wrought-iron bed frames and homely accessories like bedside lamps and cushions.

In the garden, you’ll find a bench, table and chairs for you to enjoy some sunshine or al fresco dining. The garden shed is a handy place to keep bikes after your cycling adventures.Off road parking to the side of the property for one car.

The Shippon was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The parking space is a real bonus. If we visit the area again we would definitely book the property again. The wood burner was very easy to use and a real bonus.
