Ground yourself at this bolthole cottage squirreled away in the sprawling 3000-acre estate of a sixteenth-century manor house in the Yorkshire countryside. Trotting about the grounds, spotting wildlife and birds along the way, you could feel a million miles from civilisation. Yet the picture-perfect market town of Skipton, lying in the foothills of the Dales, is just an eight-minute drive away. Though you may find you have all you need back at home. Brave the river for a spot of wild swimming. Admire the imposing historic hall lying at the heart of the estate. Or give forest bathing a whirl - just one of many wellbeing events organised on the exclusive estate. Should thoughts turn to food, search out the estate's bistro in the walled garden - also the setting for your complimentary free breakfast each morning. Or follow the woodland path leading to a gastro-pub (seven minutes on foot) for hearty upper-crust grub. When it comes to the evening's end, this cottage is a delight to return home to. Cosy up beside the fire with your loved ones and a good book. Or on balmy evenings, take things outside into the enclosed cottage garden as the birds strike up their evening chorus.... There's plenty of space for little ones and furry friends alike to run amuck, while you kickback with a sundowner.

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. Ramble through woodland to emerge at the reservoir edge where the pin-drop silence...
