Previously a standalone stable constructed in the late 1800’s, this characterful first-floor apartment is an ideal property for small groups of friends or families all year round. Situated in the heart of the Dales’ popular walking areas amongst market towns and unspoilt villages, there are ample local attractions to enjoy. Less than 6 miles away is the charming market town of Hawes, home to the world-famous Wensleydale Cheese and boasting an array of traditional shops and cafes. For a spot of history, visit the National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum or the restored Gayle Mill. For those looking to explore the breathtakingly beautiful surrounding countryside, there is an abundance of walks to be enjoyed, including the stunning Pennine Way, whilst plenty of quiet backroads offer ideal cycling routes.

As you step into this delightful cottage you will be able to discard boots and coats in the hallway after a busy day exploring. There is also a handy utility area complete with an overflow freezer and a washer/dryer. Stairs lead to the upper floor and into the beautifully appointed living room/ diner. The exposed stone walls and beams make this a wonderfully atmospheric room to retire to and relax with a glass of wine. Curl up on the luxurious leather sofas by the cosy wood burner whilst watching the Smart TV or simply take in the magnificent views of the Dales. Enjoy a meal together at the oak dining table which can be prepared in the well-appointed and stylish kitchen. The master bedroom is a tastefully decorated and well laid out room with a double bed and there are also two well-appointed and comfortably furnished single bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom.

Excellent stay here, the cottage is immaculately clean, absolutely everything you need. The pub is a 2 minute walk, with fields and a public footpath at the rear of the school, to walk your dog.

Absolutely fabulous, wonderful location in the very quiet village of Bainbridge overlooking village green with spectacular views of Wensleydale from the cottage. Extremely well equipped nothing was needed with many extras not expected: i.e. toilet roll, cling film, kitchen foil, kitchen paper towel, tea bags, coffee bags, sugar, dishwashing liquid,Read more air freshener, welcome pack of dishwasher tablets and laundry liquid, etc. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds, very cosy and warm. Cottage is ideally centrally located for travelling in all directions being close enough to an A road, (No noise is heard from the road in the distance). Plenty of very good pubs/restaurants in Askrigg and Caperby. Many walks from the property. Perfect. Hide
