Much like the tea, this home is proper Yorkshire. From the flagstone floors to the original fireplaces and that beautiful purple AGA oven, this home exudes traditional charm. But fear not, a stay here is far from a trip back to the 18th-century; the wooden beams may be antique, but the games room and media system are all thoroughly modern. In the rural wilds of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the legendary Lake District, this four-bedroom home is a perfect escape for a big family or group of friends eager to explore the great outdoors - even if it’s just a stroll around the massive garden, and food and drinks on the patio. The nearest pub is a 5-minute drive away (or a leisurely 40-minute walk through the countryside), making for the ideal pint pitstop after a long day exploring the Dales. Back at the home, head to the garden and follow the sound of the rushing brook. Walk down the steps, and relax on the bank by the Clough River in perfect tranquility.
