Set within the small village of Darley in North Yorkshire, this country escape offers nature lovers and walkers, in particular, a haven of natural beauty and scenic routes to discover. As you enter the cottage, the home's warmth welcomes you to feel at home almost immediately. Presenting an authentic stay, the walls are decorated with local photographs that lend themselves to the history of Darley – a mini-exhibition, if you will. Curl up in front of the living area's electric fireplace with a cup of Yorkshire Tea in hand. The bathtub upstairs is just inviting following a long country walk in the great outdoors. On sunny days open up the kitchen door and sit out on the small decked area with outdoor seating. Breathing in the beautifully fresh air around here offers a sense of clarity – refreshing the mind – ready for a return back to reality at the end of your stay. The perfect spot for exploring the hidden treasures of Yorkshire, not only will you be just a stone's throw away from the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty here, but the likes of Harrogate and York are also just a short drive away.
