Proudly positioned right on the green in the sleepy village of East Witton, Pear Tree Cottage is the perfect destination for guests wanting to enjoy a real family get-together in a fabulous home-from-home. Ideal for extended families, friends who enjoy holidaying together and celebrations, this end-terraced property that dates back to the 1820s has the added bonus of a converted annex called The Granary, which offers separate sleeping accommodation for 2 guests, as well as a games room, laundry area and a large, enclosed country garden.
Right in the heart of Wensleydale in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park, this Grade II listed building is surrounded by miles upon miles of established public footpaths, cycle tracks and bridleways that pass through the village leading on to nearby towns and villages, which include Middleham, Leyburn, Harmby, Carlton, West Witton and more, with many fine places to eat and drink along the way. East Witton boasts an award-winning gastro pub, and a 16th-century inn famous for its real ale, Yorkshire gammon and eggs.
The Yorkshire Dales makes for a most scenic walk or bike ride, with its rolling hills, tranquil woodland, open countryside and tumbling streams. Aysgarth Falls, Moor Cote, Cover Bridge, Ellingstring and Masham Bank are certainly worth seeing. History buffs are often drawn to the former Cistercian monastery of Jervaulx Abbey, which was founded in 1156 and is now open to visitors all year round with an on-site tea room and a wide range of events. Middleham should also be high on the agenda – this famous horse racing town was once home to Richard III and Middleham Castle is steeped in history. Spend a day at the horse racing links and watch world class racehorses gallop down the track.
Guests will find an abundance of top quality local pubs and restaurants offering fresh local produce in the area. Visitors of all ages will love The Forbidden Corner which is just a few miles away, a folly-turned family attraction that has surprises waiting around every corner. The popular market town of Leyburn is only 4 miles away, with its weekly farmers’ market, along with a variety of quaint shops, tea rooms and restaurants for an evening out. All within an hour’s drive are many popular destinations including Ripon, Catterick Racecourse, York, Thirsk, Barnard Castle, Richmond and Durham. Shop 2 miles, pub and restaurant 110 yards.

Nice comfortable property.
Nice comfortable property. Generally well served with equipment however some barbecue tools would be helpful as we couldn't find any. The patio area is lovely if the weather is good but the remainder of the large garden is wild in places. Sadly we had a problem with the bi-fold door which prevented us from opening the living area to connect it with the outside. The village has a pub and a part time Post Office otherwise you have to travel for everything. There are some lovely walks from the cottage. One word of warning that being out in the country near farm animals we experienced a lot of flies in the property. Some sort of fly deterrent would possibly help.

The cottage and granary was excellent.
The cottage and granary was excellent. Very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The welcome pack was a real treat. Loved the space in the cottage - we saw the photos of the place before it was renovated, the owners have done an amazing job and really brought it to life. We loved the social space in the kitchen and spent most of our time in there enjoying the underfloor heating! The location was lovely and so peaceful and quiet. We are hoping to return next year as it was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 1 child.
