Welcome to this quite magnificent six-bedroom and five-bathroom large luxury holiday home tucked away in a picture-postcard Yorkshire Dales village. With its handsome double-fronted exterior, generously proportioned bedrooms and hot tub to enjoy, this property is just perfect for those magical family celebrations and special get-togethers.

 

Set over 3 elegant floors, the stunning Georgian facade of this holiday home gives way to a contemporary and comfortable home. Downstairs you'll find a large sitting room where peacock blue sofas gather around a roaring open fire. The house is extremely well equipped with underfloor heating as well as the latest technology including an LCD TV, a DVD Player and Wi-Fi, but who wants to be online when you have this gorgeous place to enjoy!

 

The sitting rooms leads through to a fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room with original Yorkshire flagstone floors & upcycled church pews. The perfect spot for those laughter-filled family breakfasts each morning, or a few glasses of bubbly later on! The contemporary kitchen boasts a sleek black granite work-top, glossy white units, a dishwasher and an AGA to keep everyone warm and toasty. The cupboards are well stocked with everything you need to rustle up a family-sized dinner, and the open aspect allows you to enjoy a little company while you do so. Attached to the kitchen is a fabulous orangery providing a further formal dining space. Watch the stars twinkle above you as you settle down to a candlelit dinner stretching long into the night.

 

All six of the generous bedrooms in Willow House enjoy views over the village and each has been individually styled with feature beds. The first bedroom is on ground level; a double room with an en-suite wet room, ideally suited to anyone with reduced mobility. Bedrooms two, three and four are on the first floor, all doubles, with two and three sharing a family bathroom and bedroom four enjoying another en-suite wet room. The top floor of the house is home to bedrooms five and six - two fabulous master bedrooms with luxurious open-plan bathrooms featuring either a free standing bath or a large walk-in shower.

 

Back downstairs, throw open the double patio doors and step into the beautiful enclosed gardens. There's a sheltered patio area available for al fresco dining and to your right, the wonderful hot tub is just waiting to be enjoyed. Take a dip under the moonlight and catch up with those you haven't seen for far too long.

 

This property is a truly unique and luxurious large holiday home with every modern comfort thrown in. Its central village location and gorgeous interiors make it one of Yorkshire's most sought-after properties, so why not make it your choice for that next big get-together?

This is a beautiful house with large bedrooms and good size bathrooms. It has sufficient seating for everyone either in the kitchen/diner or conservatory and has nice outdoor space. It is in a good location and apart from the on site parking has ample parking on the road outside. We did not use the hot tub so cannot comment on that.

An amazing example. A wonderful comfortable and beautifully set cottage with every facility you could need. We had wonderful sunshine throughout the afternoon so enjoyed the garden, before a lovely hot tub. We spent the rest of the night in the conservatory and the living room!

First Impression looked very neglected but initially ok once inside. Beds very comfortable and bed linen/towels lovely quality.

Fantastic house accommodating 4 small families for the week. All rooms very spacious and clean. An ideal house for large family gatherings. Our only criticism would be the parking area that needs to be addressed to make the space better accessible for the average mid SUV and hot summer spells the bedrooms could do with tower fans as the rooms do geRead moret hot. That aside we loved our stay and would use it again. Hide

We did enjoy our stay at Willow Cottage. It was comfortable, quiet, and parking wasn't a problem. Two of the bedrooms are 'open plan' with loos etc. in the same room as the bed. The hot tub was well used, and dinner in the Orangery was a pleasant end to the day. We did have one or two 'maintenance 'problems, especially with the dishwasher,, but on Read morethe whole the house suited us suited us perfectly. The Angel pub, just along the road is also worth a mention. All in all a very good week. Hide

A lovely house for our family group of mixed ages, in a great location. We also had to endure a very strong unpleasant oil smell coming from the Aga for the entire week. Top bedrooms are completely open plan including toilet, which was not described on the website, and would not be to everyone's taste. Overall we had a great week, just a few niggleRead mores with maintenance that could easily be fixed. Hide
