A lovely, former railway cottage with Victorian charm and gorgeous views over the Dales, just 5 miles from Hawes. And it's dog-friendly!
While you can experience the peace and quiet that the cottage offers, there is so much to do on the doorstep. The recently restored Pennine Bridleway is across the road, the Settle-Carlisle railway stops at Garsdale Head Station, which is just under a mile away, giving links to the main line at Leeds or Carlisle and the local rural bus even runs past the bottom of the drive! So whether it is biking, hiking, sight-seeing or tea room-ing, you will be spoiled for choice all year round.
The property has a great feel to it. With a touch of the outside-in and beautiful scenery through every window, this inviting cottage is great for family or friends get-togethers. There are 3 bedrooms sleeping 5 guests: a king and a double and one single. Enjoy a morning brew while listening to the birds, dine alfresco at the picnic bench in the front garden or cosy up round the log burner for those cooler evenings. The cottage even has a laundry room and handy back yard to wash the rain and Dales mud off and for storing bikes.
You can pull up directly outside of the front door for unloading and parking for the railway cottages is just off the road in a shared layby, in front of the houses.
