Overview
Property code: OC-DS1067

Sitting at the end of a quiet lane amid stunning countryside is this traditional stone cottage; with ample space for three guests, a lovely garden and wonderful views, it’s the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy the Dales. Known for its natural beauty, the Dales is very popular with walkers, pot-holers and cavers. Pick up the Pennine Way, which runs close to the cottage, or challenge yourself to summit one or more of the Three Peaks during your stay - Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside are all within 20 miles of the cottage. If all that exercise makes you hungry, pop out to the two village pubs, one of which is on the Pennine Way (4 miles away). Discover the incredible intricate maze of caves at Clapham, 7.5 miles away, or the White Scar caves, 6 miles away. Enjoy a leisurely trip to the café and shop in the centre of Horton (8 miles away), and for more country pubs and tearooms visit Settle (6 miles away) and Ingleton (11.5 miles). For a more leisurely way to take in the dramatic scenery, catch a train at Horton (0.5 miles away) or Ribblehead (6 miles) and explore the area on the Settle to Carlisle railway line.

The cottage features a spacious open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge. The cosy living space features an exposed stone wall, a TV and DVD player, comfy sofas to lounge on, and a warming wood burner set in a cute brick fireplace. The kitchen/dining space has a more contemporary feel, with wooden flooring, stylish units and an attractive arched window. On the first floor are the two lovely bedrooms. First up is the spacious king-size room with chic, monochrome décor and an armchair where you can sit and admire the views. The light and comfy single room features another arched window and innovative storage solutions. Both bedrooms use the tasteful, contemporary shower room with a double walk-in shower and underfloor heating.

To the front of the cottage, there is a gated private paved/gravelled area with a bistro table and chairs, perfect to sit and relax with a drink in the sunshine. At the back is an enclosed pretty lawned garden with a bench and incredible views of the Settle to Carlisle railway towards Pen-Y-Ghent and the stunning countryside.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well equipped cottage. We found plenty to do despite the weather. The dog enjoyed the ducks! Took the drive to Hawes well worth it and Skipton and the Lakes all worth the effort.

Great holiday - we did more than some of us expected too! Refreshed old memories of a time more than 50years ago when we spent most weekends here above and below the ground and made new ones (Wild swim was wonderfully refreshing on a v.quiet day in Stainforth) The people we've met have made it v special.

We had a lovely holiday, were very pleased with the property which is beautiful and it's location. We do have a couple of suggestions - longer non-slip mat in the shower would be useful, particularly for those not so steady on their feet, as you have to step off the shower mat onto the shower base to exit the shower. The directions given are to leRead moreave the M6 at junction 34 and follow the signs to Ingleton, however there is no signage for Ingleton initially - perhaps "follow the signs to Kirkby Lonsdale", then to Ingleton as you are some miles from the M6 before there is a sign for Ingleton Hide

We have enjoyed a glorious week- so lucky with the dry weather and sun most days. We booked the week to conincide with the Appleby Horse Fair and choose to travel on the train - well worth it on both counts. The cottage is well cared for and so well equipped. Also perfectly placed for so much in the area, thank you.

The biggest issue we had was the property was described as having an enclosed garden and this was not correct . As we have a dog we always tick the box for enclosed garden The issue could be resolved by adding a gate Apart from this the property was excellent

Nice week, lovely cottage-well equipped to high standard. Good location for walks. Weather was variable but mostly wet. Stunning scenery when sun came out! Great walks at Malham, Whernside, Clapham to Ingleborough, Ingleton Waterfalls. Settle to Carlisle train worth it, but didn`t stay in Carlisle long! Great stay. Thanks.

We have had a lovely stay at "No 2". The Cottage is a lovely location and a very relaxed place. We highly recommend the Himalayan Gardens. A must is to go to the viaduct and watch the steam train go over "Magical". We also took the train up to Carlisle. It hakes about a hour and a half. The views are stunning. Best fish and chips , Hawes.
