Initial fuel for wood burner included, remainder by honesty box. Travel cot and highchair available on request. . Enclosed patio with garden furniture. 8-acre grounds (shared with the mill and other cottages). Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: There is a mill race and pond in the grounds, and drops down to the river, 30 yards away.. Set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this semi-detached cottage is situated on the banks of the River Aire between the Malhamdale villages of Kirkby Malham and Hanlith. It enjoys 8 acres of shared grounds in an idyllic setting where you can simply park your car and explore the Dales from the door! Enjoying a quiet location down a private drive, this cottage, originally built in 1792, forms part of an exclusive development of a former cotton mill and workers’ cottages.
The River Aire feeds the mill pond and leat, which adds charm and life to the grounds – a bird spotters’ paradise. The mill pond retains many of its original gates to manage the flow and a small bridge towards the end of the land crosses the head gates to the pond. There is a communal garden to the front of the mill with space to sit and enjoy the river and weir. In addition there is a small private woodland, shared by the residents of Scalegill.
Malham Cove, with its limestone amphitheatre and the gorge of Gordale Scar, are within easy (10-minute) walking distance, as is Malham Tarn, one of the largest natural areas of water in Yorkshire. Alternatively, the market towns of Settle and Skipton are close by and offer a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants. The Settle to Carlisle Railway Line is renowned as one of the most beautiful lines in the country and, on occasion, offers travel by steam train. Skipton enjoys a wide, sweeping High Street with a Norman castle standing guard at the top. The Leeds-Liverpool canal traverses Skipton and outlying villages, with canal day trips from Skipton a great alternative way to view the area. Farm shop 2 miles, pub/restaurant ¾ mile.
Free WiFi

Fabulous relaxing break.
Fabulous location and only a 20 minute walk to Malham across fields. (Lister Arms provided great beer and food) The cottage is excellent and the location was perfect for a peaceful break with wonderful walks on the doorstep. Our terrier refused to get in the car when we were leaving. Definitely recommend.

Cottage too cold - heating needs to be on all day when staying over winter, and as it wasn't we found the lounge far too cold. We can see why they have four blankets in the lounge, they were needed & used! Cleanliness was poor, snail on the inside of lounge window, cobwebs in other areas. Prosecco as a welcome pack was nice, but where is the milk, loaf or cake that normally makes a welcome pack! Could do with a torch and candles - there was a short power cut but no provisions to deal with this, luckily a neighbour came to our aid with candles/matches. We did love the remote location, very peaceful.
