Lark Rise Cottage is a traditional stone-built listed property which was built in the 1700’s and restored in 1801. The property is located in Horton in Ribblesdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is ideal for groups of friends or family who are looking to holiday together in this beautiful part of Yorkshire.  The village pub is a short stroll away from the front of the cottage, whilst to the rear there is a furnished patio area and a garden which leads down to the river.  This cottage is ideal for those of you looking to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks which starts from Horton or Pennine Way as the walks are from the doorstep.  The kitchen has Victorian wall tiles which enhance the traditional country feel.

The local market towns of Hawes and Settle are a short drive away and have many traditional Dales pubs, quirky shops and friendly tea rooms, the Wensleydale Creamery is worth a visit, here you can sample the locally produced cheeses and the café is an ideal place to stop for homemade cake.

Great location for walking the Three Peaks. Next to the pub and a short walk from the railway station too. Cosy kitchen and master bedroom, lots of hot water. A disappointment was the level of cleanliness on arrival.

Stunning cottage in a stunning area. We had a great time. It was a shame there were the pub benches right outside our front door which caused a bit of noise and a lack of privacy. Otherwise, absolutely fab! Thanks!

A very spacious and comfortable cottage with a lovely garden. But somewhat spoiled by insufficient parking and an email from the company half way through our holiday saying that someone had accused us of parking a large vehicle outside the cottage. This had, in fact, nothing to do with us!

We have throughly enjoyed our three night stay in this lovely cottage. Perfectly situated in the heart of Yorkshire Dale, loved being woken up the nature sounds, beautiful garden to sit at and admire the beauty of nature, lots of things to do around. We would definitely be back to stay for longer to explore the more of Yorkshire.

Well equipped, spacious, warm & cosy in February. We have stayed in quite a few cottages in the Dales over the years and this is as good as any of the others. Being a Listed Building with character features is also a bonus for those who live the rest of the time in modern dwellings.

This is a warm, comfortable and spacious cottage, very nicely decorated and furnished. It is convenient for the station and one of the local pubs (where we had a decent meal). There is a lovely garden ending at a delightful stream, and the local scenery and walks are fantastic. We enjoyed our short stay and would definitely return to this cottage.

The cottage is amazing - a real tardis with plenty of room for six people not to be on top of one another. We loved the garden and the river, and the fact that so many walks were available without having to drive. Our two dogs were also well catered for with beds and bowls!! If you decide to sell, let us know!!

We had a brilliant time in the cottage and it is perfectly placed for the three peaks and other amazing walks. It is wonderful and clean and comfy. The cottage garden is a total delight. Highly recommended. With a few tweaks, it would get full marks. Note that the pub is across the courtyard and all their tables are right outside the house, but theRead more crowds dispersed before we went to bed luckily. Hide
