The cottage is perfect for walkers and cyclists exploring the Yorkshire Dales and the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (both 5 miles), or you could enjoy a day at the races in Ripon (19 miles). Stepping inside this lovely cottage, be welcomed into an open-plan living space that the owners have carefully considered with comfort and relaxation in mind.

With attention to detail to retain much of the traditional features including a stone chimney, exposed stone and ceiling beams but upgraded with a contemporary and stylish interior. The kitchen is generously equipped with top-of-the-range appliances and everything you need to cook up a feast.

Congregate at the dining table with your party and share stories from your day's travels. Explore the couches after dinner and curl up in front of the wood burner and watch a film on the Smart TV or play a board game.

There is a handy utility room with a washer/dryer for those holiday practicalities and a downstairs separate WC. When it's time for bed, go upstairs to the bedroom, here, you'll discover two king-size bedrooms and a double bedroom with stunning exposed iron beams.

The bathroom comes complete with a bath, separate shower and WC. Enjoy lazy breakfasts in the front cottage garden or there is a small courtyard at the rear of the cottage.
