You'll find this Grade II-listed stone cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, surrounded by lush, rolling scenery. With a myriad of walking paths straight out the front door, simply lace up your boots and hit the trails, rewarding yourself with a delicious bite to eat and a refreshing pint at the gastropub down the road. After a busy day exploring the local area – and trust us, there's plenty to see – come back to a cosy, peaceful homestead that's bursting with character. Beamed ceilings, original stone stairs and a traditional hearth are just a few of the features we love. If you're in the mood to rustle up dinner, the kitchen has everything you'll need, and thanks to the DVD player and smart TV, rainy days can be spent watching your favourite films. When the chill sets in, snuggle up by the wood-burning stove or plop down in the window seat and admire the views. Better yet, take in the sprawling Swaledale scenery from the summerhouse – you'll never get tired of watching the sunsets over the dales, glass of wine in hand.

About Lancashire
From Blackpool’s swirl of neon lights to the Forest of Bowland’s wind-whipped fells, Lancashire’s sights span the extremes of what Britain has to offer. Follow drystone walls along the Pendle Hill walk; slip through kissing-gates in fields of grazing sheep, over old wooden footbridges, eventually cresting the summit to humbling views across Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales.
