This stone-clad cottage offers character and charm by the bucketload. Inside, it’s all flagstone floors, timber beams and homely floral textiles. Wake up in plush beds to views that stretch all the way across the Dale to Middleham Castle. Throw open the windows and fill your lungs with fresh country air or enjoy a cup of milky tea on the patio. Your garden is south facing, so you’ll get the sun all day long, perfect for alfresco elevenses and mouth-watering barbecues in the late afternoon. Nearby, you have Harmby Waterfall and a traditional pub, both within a minute’s walk from your doorstep. Take a leisurely twenty-minute stroll to the small town of Leyburn for indie shops, quaint cafes and a weekly market, where you can pick up an obligatory block of Wensleydale cheese. It’s best enjoyed with chutney and a glass of wine in your cosy living room.
