Turret Cottage At Hanlith Hall

Have a fairy-tale stay at this cottage set within a splendid, 17th-century hall. With a castle-like style, complete with a tower and castellations, the three-bedroom retreat sleeps five guests.

It offers single-storey accommodation, welcomes four-legged friends and has a small garden for basking in the sunshine. It is well located for anyone wishing to walk the Pennine Way or explore the southern swathes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Let yourselves in at ground-floor level, hang your coats in the entrance then follow three steps down to the impressive reception hall. The lounge/kitchen/diner will quickly become the heart of the holiday home during your stay.

Here you can prepare delicious meals in the kitchen area, using the fresh Yorkshire produce you have bought. Dine together at the table then make fresh coffee and carry it over to the lounge area to enjoy in front of the TV.

As night falls, bid your friends and family good night and make your way through to the king-size bedroom, with en-suite bathroom and TV, the twin bedroom, with en-suite shower room and TV, or the single bedroom. Venturing outside, stone steps lead to a shared lawned garden with picnic benches for al fresco dining on a summer’s evening.

With its own private undercover hot tub pod, complete with fairy lights, table and chair and coat hooks creating a private space to enjoy a relaxing soak come rain or shine. There is private parking for 2 small/ medium cars with this property.

Walk just under 1 mile to reach the pretty village of Malham, where you can have lunch or perhaps afternoon tea. There are a number of renowned beauty spots close to the village.

See the magical waterfall of Janet’s Foss, for example, a 2.5-mile drive or 2 mile walk from your cottage. Visit Malham Cove, a curved rock formation, the same distance away, and Malham Tarn, a glacial lake, 4.5 miles away.
