Overview
Property code: OC-DS902

This is a cosy stone-built character cottage which is centrally located in the popular village of Askrigg in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Shippon in Askrigg is ideal at any time of the year with a pretty cottage garden for the summer and a log burner for the chilly winter nights. Off road parking a real bonus in such a busy village. Sleeping up to four people in two bedrooms this is perfect for couples, friends and families, a home away from home looking to holiday together in this Dales village. This popular Dales village with its ancient market cross, notable church and cobbled central square was once home to the fictional surgery of Dales vet James Herriot, whilst the Kings Arms became the setting for the Drover’s Arms.  There are many footpaths around the village for a short stroll or if you are looking for more of a challenge can walk further along the valley to Hawes or eastwards to Carperby, Aysgarth Falls, Castle Bolton and Redmire.  Askrigg has excellent places to eat including two pubs, a hotel, tea room, deli and fish and chip van every Wednesday. There is also a general provision shop.  It is a great base for exploring all the Yorkshire Dales has to offer

We had a brilliant holiday in The Shippon, but this was made most special by the landscape of Wensleydale and Swaledale. Although we are in our late 70s, we did several long walks (5 miles x 3) and lots of other exploring as well - favourites - walking up the Swale in Muker meadows, driving over the moors to Swaledale and stopping at the top for a Read morepicnic lunch! We are not bird experts, but were thrilled with how many moorland birds we saw on those two drives over to Swaledale. We loved all the spring wild flowers too - so many primrose banks and the first openings of the bluebell woods. Other highlights - Aysgarth Falls, Asghill force, Castle Bolton, cheese demonstration in Hawes. Enjoyed dinner out at The Kings Arms, AAskrigg ad Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton. Hide

This cottage was presented to a very high standard and we were immediately very comfortable. The location was ideal and quietly located for the delightful village and for cycling aroung the Yorkshire Dales. Also the nice welcoming pack including refreshments and milk was most appreciated. The owners provided ample fuel for the woodburner which happRead moreily wasn't required! The shed was just right for bicycle storage. We definitely plan to return when we can. Hide

We love Askrigg and visit regularly to meet our friends who live here. Enjoyed staying in the Shippon which suited all our needs. Bolton Castle is well worth a visit and the lovely walks and views are worth the hard climbs.
