Several miles from Hawes, this delightful two-storey cottage, part of an old chapel dating back to the 1830s, is ideally placed to offer a small group a comfortable base from which to explore picturesque Wensleydale. With footpaths, trails and renowned natural and historic sites within easy reach, it is perfect for walkers, nature lovers and cyclists. Tastefully furnished, this cottage offers spacious, well-appointed living areas, an outside seating area, a hand-crafted kitchen and arched windows offering fantastic views over the village.
On the ground floor, a drying room and shower room with integrated speakers sit close to a double bedroom with an iron bed frame. On the first floor, the lounge/diner, is a welcoming space where guests on two and four paws can enjoy cosy nights in by the fire, afternoon snoozes and well-earned meals after a long day exploring the Dales, with a fully equipped kitchen next door. The third floor is home to a bathroom with a double-ended bath, a Velux window and integrated speakers, as well as three bedrooms: a king-size bedroom with a Velux window, a twin and a single bedroom, both with wooden bed frames and matching furniture. Take a table and chairs out onto the adjacent village green to enjoy a picnic or just to take in the view.
The remains of a Roman fort, Verosidum, sits within 1 mile of Bainbridge, with the village itself offering greens, dog-friendly amenities, and a range of footpaths and trails leading to the surrounding fells. A more comprehensive selection of dog-friendly amenities is available in the bustling market towns of Hawes (4.5 miles) and Leyburn (13 miles). The tiered waterfall at Aysgarth Falls lies 6 miles from the cottage. Bainbridge was once at the centre of Wensleydale Forest and villagers retain the tradition of blowing an ox horn three times at sunset to call foresters and travellers back home.
