This beautifully renovated farmhouse with high-end quality furnishings and interiors makes this property a rare find. Combining rustic charm and modern design, it’s the perfect family-friendly home from home. The property is in the peaceful hamlet of Newbiggin, just a 0.5-mile drive or walk through the fields to Askrigg, home to several pubs, Wensleydale Brewery, a tearoom, bakery and shops. There are also numerous walks and cycle routes right from the door. Visit dramatic Aysgarth Falls, 4.5 miles away, or nearby Mill Gill waterfalls, a hidden gem less than a mile from Askrigg. Got a taste for wild swimming, watersports or wildlife watching? Enjoy them all at Lake Semerwater, 5 miles from the house. For local attractions, learn the fascinating history of Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes 6.5 miles away, or visit spectacular Bolton Castle, one of the country’s best preserved medieval castles, also 6.5 miles away.

The spacious living room is brimming with country charm and thoughtful touches, with a wooden ceiling and beams, a wood burner, games cupboard, and local artwork. The kitchen too has the wow factor with stylish units, an attractive dining area and its own sofa and TV. If you like a long, muddy walk you’ll appreciate the handy utility cupboard and drying cupboard with all you need to do your washing. There are three large, beautifully decorated bedrooms upstairs, two are king-size and one can be set up as a super-king or twin, and all of them have plenty of storage. There are also two lovely bathrooms – one with a bath and the other with a large shower.

There is also a splendid outside space to complement the lovely interior. A large lawn and a patio terrace with a dining table and chairs, a parasol, gas BBQ and two sun loungers complete this perfect holiday house.

Howgate Farm is in a great location; a short walk from Askrigg and makes a great base for walks and bike rides from the door. Plus easy reach of nearby attractions. The cottage is pristine and fairly spacious for six. Although we didnt need any assistance, the very friendly owners are just next door and seemed very happy to help.

A home away from home, great attention to detail with the childrens needs, high chair was up and ready at the table, night lights in the room. A cosy home that honestly was a wonderful base for the week. We will definitely be coming back next year!
