Oozing character and charm, this countryside cottage makes for the perfect romantic getaway for two dog parents who want to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park. You’ll be within easy reach of waterfalls, riverside walking trails and towering peaks while benefiting from village amenities on your doorstep.
Step inside this traditional Yorkshire stone cottage to find yourself in the welcoming lounge/kitchen/diner with a flagstone floor, a white-washed wooden beamed ceiling, wooden furnishings and a cracking wood burner. The pale walls and kitchen cabinets keep the space bright and airy, while the subtle blue decor creates a laid-back atmosphere. To one side of the room is a farmhouse-style ‘U’-shaped kitchen with a peninsula where you can enjoy a home cooked meal for two. Climb the stairs to reach a comfy king-size bedroom with nature views, plus a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Outside is a seating area at the front of the cottage.
Explore the village of Askrigg during your stay and stop for a bite to eat at one of the local pubs (within 0.5 miles). Lead the way to adventure with a trip to the nearby Aysgarth Falls (5 miles) and stroll along the River Ure. Visit the Cotter Force nature reserve (6.5 miles) and follow a hiking trail through the Great Shunner Fell (7.5 miles). Take a picnic on an adventure to the Pennine Way (13 miles), where you can walk along the rugged and oldest national trail, which stretches all the way to the Scottish Borders. Practise your photography skills at the 19th-century Ribblehead Viaduct (16 miles).
