This idyllic stone cottage sleeps four and provides an unforgettable escape just a stone’s throw from the village of Ingleton. A paradise for walkers and cyclists alike, don a pair of walking boots and set off along one of the many tracks and trails that start directly from the doorstep. Nestling under Ingleborough, one of the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks, Ingleton boasts a variety of independent shops and cafes just waiting to be explored. The village is surrounded by magnificent countryside with caves, waterfalls, and mountains, making it perfect for a whole host of outdoor pursuits. Set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the picturesque Forest of Bowland can be reached in just 7 miles and the Lake District is only 20 miles away.
Once you have finished admiring the climbing wisteria and traditional brickwork of this period stone cottage, wander along the path leading to the porch and cast your boots to one side. You will immediately be wowed by the original features and stunning beams that adorn each room. Stylishly renovated with an added touch of luxury, yet still bursting with character and charm, the property is ideal for couples or friends to come together and make some unforgettable memories.
You will want to spend your downtime reclining on the sofas in the cosy lounge/diner. Settle down in front of the roaring wood burner on an evening and enjoy a glass of wine, read a book or watch a movie on the Smart TV. For those who can’t resist a spot of healthy competition, the table is an ideal perch for playing card games and board games. At mealtimes, light candles and make dinner a glamorous affair, and in the morning, you can tuck into a hearty breakfast whilst natural light pours into the room. Two steps lead up to the kitchen, where you’ll be able to whip up your favourite snacks and rummage through the thoughtful welcome pack left for you by the friendly owners.
The country-cottage kitchen is superbly finished with everything you could need to rustle up a hearty meal and boasts another dining table for a morning coffee or lazy brunches. There is an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher to make cooking and washing up a breeze, plus a handy washing machine for any laundry needs. With a farm shop less than 0.5 miles away, you’ll be able to craft fabulous feasts to surprise and delight your entire party. Completing the ground floor is a useful downstairs WC.
Retiring for the night, climb the stairs to the first floor to find two bedrooms, both beautifully styled with comfort in mind and equipped with comfortable king-size beds as well as ample storage. Completing the interior is a family bathroom with a shower over bath and WC, a sight that will prove very tempting for pamper sessions.
Outside, you will find a small enclosed tranquil garden to the front and a beautifully designed tiered garden at the rear. Grab a drink and relax on the patio area, taking in the views over towards Ingleborough. Take some time to revel in your surroundings and enjoy a refreshing drink or BBQ with loved ones whilst the children play on the lawn. On the nights you feel like a break from cooking, the pub is a 0.5-mile stroll away, but you also have bicycle storage if you would like to venture further afield.
