Dean Head

Set in a spectacular location with sweeping views over Nidderdale, this impressive stone-built farmhouse is a wonderful place for families or friends to escape to the countryside. Despite its peaceful rural setting, you’re less than 3 miles from Ilkley, a vibrant spa town boasting independent shops, brilliant eateries and Ilkley Moor.

Walk up to the Cow and Calf Rocks (4 miles), boasting spectacular views over Yorkshire’s dramatic scenery. The farmhouse sits near the border of both the Nidderdale National Landscape and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, giving you endless opportunities for walking, cycling, wildlife spotting and scenic drives.

Visit Bolton Abbey (5 miles), where you can explore riverside trails, woodland paths and the majestic priory ruins. Skipton (9 miles) is another favourite, with its impressive castle, bustling market and canal-side walks.

Further afield, the elegant town of Harrogate (19 miles) offers beautiful parks, boutique shopping and its famous Victorian spa heritage. Step inside and discover a wonderful blend of rustic character and contemporary comfort, where exposed wooden beams run throughout and every space feels warm and inviting.

Enter through the handy boot/utility room – ideal for shedding muddy boots after adventures – where you’ll also find a convenient WC. Head downstairs to two fantastic games rooms that promise hours of fun.

One is set up with a TV/DVD player, XBOX, pool table and mini fridge; the other has table football, a darts board and table tennis, providing fun for all ages. Back upstairs, the open-plan living area features a well-equipped kitchen with a classic AGA, a welcoming dining area, and a cosy lounge warmed by an Esse wood burner and complete with a Smart TV.

Enjoy expansive views from here, framed by charming timber beams. A separate dining room awaits for shared meals, while the main lounge – with its Smart TV/DVD player and wood burner – is perfect for relaxed evenings in.
