With a charming bistro table and chairs provided and the use of a BBQ, it's a heavenly spot for lunch or dinner al fresco in the warmer months.

Miller's Croft is located in Little Crakehall just outside the market town of Bedale. The cottage is set in a unique heritage site with an historic working watermill featured in various TV and film, including the BBC's Countryfile series. The village itself is very pretty, a large village green is overlooked by the manor house and the village pub, the local cricket ground is right in the middle of the village as is a lovely children's park. The walk to the village green from the cottage is a pleasant five minute stroll across the river.
Beyond the village the handsome town of Bedale is worth a visit. Stop for a coffee before making your way around the town's antique shops. In the opposite direction you'll find the charming market town of Leyburn. Leyburn is an archetypical slice of Dales market town life. You'll find lovely 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 town of Richmond 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 Miller's Croft. Asygarth Falls and Bolton Castle are just a few miles away and the gorgeous villages of West Burton and Askrigg are within easy driving distance, so 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. Our concierge will be more than happy to recommend some walks for you if required.
And when you need to refuel stop at one of the areas many excellent gastro pubs. Our favourites include the Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton, the Blue Lion at East Witton and the Wyvill Arms Arms in Constable Burton.
