We dare you to find a traditional Yorkshire Dales cottage more charming than this, folks. Tucked away on the edge of a pretty green in the hamlet of Newby and close to the conservation village of Clapham, the setting is idyllic. Mooch along to the café down the road for hearty breakfasts, or a smidge further, into Clapham (four-minute drive or half-an-hour stroll) with its cheese shop (this is Wensleydale territory), delightful independent gift shops, and a traditional pub for real ale and a warm welcome. When it’s time to dive into the great outdoors, you’re right beneath Ingleborough, one of the famous Three Peaks. Follow the countless bridle paths just moments away, leading to lakeside nature trails, mature woodlands, spectacular limestone caves, and eventually, the summit of Ingleborough. When it’s time to come back down to earth, this elegant home with a pedigree going way back to 1620 delivers all the cottage feels with flagged stone floors, exposed beams, and quirky little nooks. Friends sharing will love how spaced out the bedrooms feel, each on their own floor. And though there’s no enclosed garden to speak of, the lawned sitting-out area at the front of the home is perfect for... evening summer drinks as you watch the lambs and ducks waddle by across the green. In winter months, take things indoors to hunker down for cosy film nights – the wood is stacked by the stove and Netflix is at the ready.

About The Yorkshire Dales
Hillsides turned purple with heather and glacial valleys cutting through the wilderness make up the landscape of the Yorkshire Dales. A National Park since the 1950s, this wild region is where long walks through the countryside are rewarded with a pint of real ale by a crackling fire in pubs that have stood for centuries.
