Reviews

A very good spacious cottage in a great local and central location for the Yorkshire Dales. Plenty of excellent walks form the door or not too far to travel further in the Dales.

Mr M,

Really enjoyed our stay at Thornsgill Cottage. Nice town with access to great countryside and walks. Nice pubs in the town and local store. Cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Mr B,

Mr S,

A comfortable and well situated property.Peaceful at night with just the sound of a bubbling beck.

Mr A,

Loved our trip to this great cottage in Askrigg. Very comfortable and fully equipped with all you need and in a wonderful spot in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Fab pub, The Kings Arms, in the village and stunning walks all around. Rolling hills and beautiful waterfalls, Aysgarth Falls and Castle Bolton near by. We even had the most wonderful weather at Easter. Would highly recommend. Family Holmes - Easter 2015

We have stayed at Thornsgill Cottage many times and our stay is never long enough. The cottage itself is warm, cosy and comfortable, ideal for us to return to with the dogs after a long day out walking in the spectacular scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. The lock up garage enables us to store our bikes safely so that we can enjoy cycling too. The village of Askrigg is friendly and has everything we’ve needed - a shop, a cake shop - and several great pubs of course. We will definitely be back!

We stayed as 2 families and a dog at Thornsgill Cottage for Easter and had the most wonderful and cosy time, walking, chilling and entertaining ourselves in the close-by pubs of Askrigg. The cottage itself is perfectly equipped with everything you could wish for in a Yorkshire retreat. It’s warm, loads of hot water, an awesome real fire and very comfortable bedrooms - You really can kick back and switch off here. We did some fantastic walking by the river or up on the hills, with great pubs in nearby villages to use as destinations or fuel stops Fantastic stay, we’ll be back there in a heartbeat.

I have been a repeat visitor to the gorgeous Thornsgill Cottage. The log burner makes it cosy in winter, just perfect for retreating to a comfy sofa with a large glass of wine after a long walk in the hills. It has everything you need if you want to cook but frankly it would be a shame to miss out on the wonderful local pubs which are only a hop, skip and a jump away. It’s also been brilliant to be able to bring my dog to the cottage - the only downside to this is you then have absolutely no excuse not get get up and get out onto the hills - a hard prospect to contemplate when tucked up all snug in one of the extremely comfortable beds.

A fantastic cottage. Was very cosy and had everything we could possibly need. Food in The Crown was delicious.

Location

Askrigg
The small Wensleydale village of Askrigg is an idyllic location to enjoy a self-catering break. The sights of the Yorkshire Dales National Park surround you, with the bustling market towns of Hawes, Leyburn and Northallerton being just a short drive away where you'll find lovely independent shops, cafes and restaurants. The village is famous for being the setting of fictional Darrowby in tv's All Creatures Great and Small, though in the 18th century was hive of industry when it became a centre for the textiles and knitting trade. It is also thought that Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in Askrigg's Nappa Hall before being moved further down the dale to Castle Bolton. Today in the village you'll find three pubs, The Crown Inn (which dates back to 1850), The White Rose Hotel and the Kings Arms. The village also is home to some great tea rooms such as The Bakewell Cafe and The Corn Mill Tea Room (Bainbridge), a village bakery with a delicatessen, a village store and newsagents. In nearby Leyburn, you will find the Wensleydale Brewery & shop, which runs open days.
