Stay in this lovely retreat, set in a rural location with views of the valley. Near to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale, this is the perfect base for an active and fun-filled holiday.
This delightful cottage on the outskirts of the pretty village of Dacre Banks is the perfect property for friends to soak up the rural tranquillity, relax into a slower pace of life and enjoy quality time together. Surrounded by the stunning countryside of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the opportunities for walking and/or cycling are almost endless, with a number of formally recognised trails and routes nearby as well as those that are off the beaten track. Despite the idyllic, peaceful location of the property, the village shop and pub are only within a few hundred metres. The property is also ideally located to explore a number of picturesque market towns and villages, which all have something different to offer in terms of shops, eateries, historic interest and views. There are also a number of attractions nearby to suit a range of interests, such as castles, gardens and natural wonders.
This cottage has been lovingly decorated with close attention to detail; it is full of contrasts which work in harmony together to create the feel of a modern stately home. An eclectic mix of bold patterns and colours blend seamlessly with elaborate, statement pieces of furniture which in turn sit comfortably alongside more contemporary pieces with their smooth, clean lines.
Downstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers a large space perfect for socialising and relaxing. The well-equipped kitchen is light, bright and airy with seating available around the island and the dining table. Although it’s open plan, the lounge still feels separate, which creates a sense of cosiness. During the day, light floods in through the large window, but of an evening, you can sink into the comfy sofas and warm up in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire.
Upstairs, there are two well-presented bedrooms (one super king-size and one king-size) with their own unique style. Bespoke, designer headboards and interesting furnishings add a touch of glamour and luxury to both rooms. The first bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower; there’s also another shower room. Completing this floor is the snug/cinema room, which offers an alternative place to retire to at the end of a busy day.
Outside, there is a lovely garden where you can sit, have a BBQ and enjoy the views down the valley.
