Bursting with character and style, this charming cottage makes a wonderful base for couples, friends or small families keen to explore the heart of Wensleydale. It’s hidden away on a quiet side street just off Leyburn's bustling market square, putting you just 20 metres from an excellent selection of shops, pubs and eateries. You’ll be right on the edge of the majestic Yorkshire Dales, with superb walking routes throughout the surrounding countryside all ripe for exploration. Leyburn Shawl, with its magnificent views, is a 3-4 minute walk away. When it's time to explore, discover the hidden beauty of Wensley Waterfall (1.5 miles) and wander around the fascinating maze-like world of The Forbidden Corner (5 miles). Historic Bolton Castle (6 miles) makes a fab afternoon out, as does the Georgian market town of Richmond (9 miles), picturesque Askrigg (12 miles), Hawes (16.5 miles) and the impressive Hardraw Force waterfall (17.5 miles).
Inside, this quirky stone cottage boasts original features, including exposed stone walls and beams, sitting alongside high-quality furnishings and luxurious finishing touches. You’ll enter straight into the open-plan living area downstairs, which is ideal for spending quality time with fellow guests. You’ll have everything you need for self-catering in the kitchen and a dining table for sitting down to leisurely meals. When you’re tired after busy days out, unwind in the comfortable lounge area, sparking up the wood burner-effect fire if you’re chilly. The sleeping quarters are upstairs, with two inviting bedrooms – a double and a super-king-size zip-and-link room that can be adapted to a twin if necessary. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary shower room with WC.
To the front of the cottage, a small patio area provides a pleasant spot for sipping morning coffees or evening drinks while planning the next day’s adventures. You’ll also benefit from off-road parking for one car, with additional free parking available approximately 50 metres away, subject to availability.
