Overview
Property code: G0170

This stylish, cosy cottage on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales makes an ideal retreat for families or friends looking to immerse themselves in the tranquillity and splendour of the area.

This stunning two-bedroom luxury holiday cottage looks directly out onto historic Middleham Castle. With its pretty village location, elegant interiors and handsome sheltered garden, we think you might just fall in love with this gorgeous period property.

Character, elegance and charm, this cottage has all three in abundance. The subject of a recent refurbishment, this beautiful old building has been completely transformed into a stylish and comfortable holiday home.

Let's start in the spacious sitting room with its peaceful tones and classic furnishings. You'll love the heated flagstone flooring underfoot and the wonderful stone fireplace complete with a wood burner for those cosy evenings in. Sink into the comfortable sofa while you choose a movie from the selection on Netflix. Or perhaps dive into one of the coffee table books while you put your feet up with a nice cup of tea. There's also a lovely dining table here by the window; watch the stable boys walking the racehorses up through the village to the gallops over lunch. Wi-Fi is provided as is all the wood for the wood burner.

Step through to the adorable bespoke kitchen with its powder blue units, marble worktop, Belfast sink and breakfast bar. There are plenty of contemporary comforts too including a dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave. Set looking out towards the garden and the castle beyond, it's a great backdrop to breakfast or that pre-dinner glass of bubbly.

Working your way upstairs you'll discover a roomy mezzanine-style landing which offers a quiet space to work or read. Just off here the fabulous master bedroom; this graceful and stylish room looks out to the front of the cottage and over the village. Soft greys, whites and lime-washed stripped floorboards combine to create a calm and relaxed ambience. The super king-size bed is dressed in the finest bed linen and features a top of the range HYPNOS mattress. The en-suite is open plan and sits up a step from the main bedroom. In here you'll find an impressive walk-in shower and WC. Complimentary toiletries and super-soft fluffy bathrobes are provided too.

The second bedroom is on the second floor in the eaves. Another very generous room with a super king-size bed which can also be set up as two singles if preferred. This room is en-suite and features a beautiful roll-top bath just perfect for those indulgent evening soaks. The view from up here is superb, you can see right across the village to the castle and the wonderful Wensleydale countryside beyond.

Step out from the elegant interior into the garden, an immaculate sheltered space with a fantastic view of the castle. Something of a suntrap, there is a pretty patio area complete with a BBQ, chimenea and small lawned garden scented with a lavender border. What better place to enjoy a lazy lunch alfresco in the warmer months.

Please note there is a refundable £150 security deposit for this property payable closer to the start of your holiday.

  • 2 bedrooms – 2 super-king, but 1 can be made up as 2 singles if required
  • 2 bathrooms – both en-suites
  • Dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave
  • TV with Netflix
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Underfloor heating
  • Wood burner - logs and kindling included
  • BBQ provided (charcoal not provided but is available to buy from the village shop)
  • Off-road parking for 1 car
  • Shops and pubs within 0.5 miles
  • Regret no pets
  • Complimentary toiletries and bathrobes
  • A £150 security deposit is required

The cottage is set in the heart of Middleham village in Wensleydale, one of Yorkshire's loveliest villages. Famous for its castle (once home to Richard III) it's also home to several racehorse trainers; you will see and hear the horses being led through the village up to the gallops every day. To top it off, there is a lovely collection of pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops.

Opposite the cottage is a charming tea room if you fancy a treat, and for dinner you can opt for a pub meal or Italian. There's also a village store and a couple of bric-a-brac shops to mooch around. Just a few miles out of the village is the fantastic attraction The Forbidden Corner (3 miles). Regularly voted the best family attraction in Yorkshire, it's also well worth a look even if there are no children in your party.

In the opposite direction you'll find the charming market town of Leyburn (2 miles). Leyburn is an archetypical slice of Dales market town life. You'll find traditional shops, pubs and cafes all gathered around the handsome town square, which hosts a busy market every Friday. Leyburn is also home to the biggest auction centre outside of London if you fancy picking up a bargain. The nearby historic town of Richmond (13 miles) is similar in many ways and has a lovely setting along the River Swale.

There are lots of other pretty villages and stunning natural sights all within close range of the cottage. Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle are within 10 miles and the gorgeous villages of West Burton (10 miles) and Askrigg (14 miles) are within easy driving distance, so there’s lots of choice for things to do if you want to get out and about. If walking is your thing, the Yorkshire Dales are something of a walker's paradise. And there are plenty of options for cycling too in this Tour De France country.

This property is personally managed by Phil.

We had a wonderful stay at Warwick Cottage and didn't want to leave. The cottage was beautifully presented, cosy, clean and well equipped.In a previous review someone has mentioned that the kitchen layout is poor - I disagree and we found it perfect for what the four of us needed and loved the way that it led onto the beautiful garden, which the cRead morehildren loved playing in.I thought the open plan ensuite bathrooms worked very well and very useful that both bedrooms had one.The only one comment I would make, is that the pillows were quite uncomfortable, as they were very hard - when we come again, we will probably bring our own.We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and made some lovely family memories.We would love to come and stay again in the future.

The lounge was cosy. Kitchen layout poor,difficult for 2 people to work at once. Open plan bathrooms not ideal. We had to request wine glasses as only 3 mismatched provided.Similarly the bath robes which arrived after 2 days. We requested them as we were told we would be charged for them if we didntRead more leave them!King size luxury pillows were crammed into very small pillow cases making them too thick & rock hard. We resolved the problem ourselves. We suggest the house keeper needs training as she is letting down a very well appointed and presented cottage.Further examples - the milk had a use by date of the day we arrived!The upstairs bath had to be cleaned as had numerous dark hairs left in it.The main bin hadnt been emptied nor had the glass recycling.However we had a lovely time and we are sure that with a little more attention to detail, Warwick Cottage can live up to Gorgeous Cottages high standards.

Response from Gorgeous Cottages:

Hi Hilary, I am pleased that you had a lovely time. New Jamie Oliver glasses and dressing gowns had been ordered prior to your stay and were delivered to you as soon as they arrived, apologies that they were not there for your arrival. Pillows are a personal preference and havent been mentioned before. The bath does have some marks which may have looked like hairs. All of your comments have been passed on to the owner and housekeeper for their attention. We do hope that you will visit again for another stay in Yorkshire. Take care, Maureen. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at Warwick cottage, it was well equipped and quite quaint, however we only gave it an 8 rating as we found the pillows very solid and uncomfortable, and like many users before us did not like the loo open to the bedroom, as we were only two in the cottage we were able to use the Read morebathroom in the second bedroom, which we had considered before we booked. We enjoyed Middleham and loved watching the racehorses pass the window.

Location

Note: As the postcode is used to identify the general area of the property, it may not always reflect its precise location, therefore please only use this map as a guide.

With a varied landscape of windswept dales, heather-clad moors and dramatic coast, interspersed with picturesque towns and villages, vibrant cities and a rich historical heritage, Yorkshire is rightly considered one of Britain's premier holiday destinations. Known as 'God's Own County', Yorkshire has nearly one-third of England's National Parkland, two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and three sections of coastline designated as Heritage Coast.

Offering infinite opportunities for lovers of the great outdoors, the wild expanse of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North and West Yorkshire is a glorious mix of awe-inspiring scenery, imposing castles, characterful Dales' villages and drystone walls. While to the east, the North York Moors National Park offers atmospheric moorland, fragrant pine forests and charming towns tucked away within steep-sloped valleys. Extending all the way to the Yorkshire Coast, you can even experience a traditional day at the seaside at popular resorts including Whitby, Flamborough and Scarborough. It's a beautiful terrain to explore.

A visit to the historical city of York is a must. Renowned for its medieval architecture, the magnificent York Minster and a myriad of museums, independent shops and exceptional eateries, you will not be disappointed. Then there's the chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds, known to have inspired David Hockney. And with a packed calendar of events and festivals each year, including the Malton Food Festival, the Tour de Yorkshire and the Great Yorkshire Show, there's always something exciting to enjoy.

Our holiday cottages in Yorkshire are handpicked to ensure a luxurious and uniquely memorable experience. From dog-friendly cottages in the country to large family houses by the sea and romantic retreats in the city, we have a holiday in Yorkshire to suit everyone.
