East Paddock Cottage

Relax amidst spectacular vistas of rolling greenery with a stay at this stunning stone cottage. Sleeping six in three bedrooms, it suits families or friends looking for a rural escape with walking and cycling all around.

The property boasts fabulous facilities and is set in a pretty village, just metres from a traditional pub. Converted from a stone barn, this detached cottage has laid-back character, with muted colours, beautiful furnishings and lovely original features.

The tranquil lounge is a sumptuous space with a wooden floor and huge brick fireplace. Enjoy the superb views and, when night draws in, you can close the curtains, light the fire and get cosy with a show on the Smart TV.

The kitchen/diner has been impeccably designed to provide a lovely space in which to concoct meals and enjoy them together. Head upstairs to find the games room with another Smart TV and a table for pool, air hockey and table tennis.

The three elegant bedrooms, a super-king, king-size and double, have been decorated with style, and they''re complemented by a bathroom with a gorgeous roll-top bath, plus a charming shower room. For a bubbling soak after a day outdoors, head to the hot tub in your private garden.

Here, there are two further areas to enjoy: an enclosed, south-facing garden with a lawn and raised patio - where you can BBQ and dine alfresco, and a small front terrace with further outdoor seating. From here you can embark on walks or bike rides straight from your door, while in the market town of Leyburn, 10 miles, you can visit family-run shops and cafes or sample local produce at the Friday farmers'' market.

The lovely villages of Aysgarth, Kettlewell, Buckden, and Grassington are all less than 15 miles away, Bolton Castle is 11 miles and the impressive Aysgarth Falls are 10 miles.
