The perfect base for a big-group getaway, this quirky holiday home has much to impress, including its location on the southern tip of the Nidderdale National Landscape. Enjoy scenic walks from the doorstep. Nearby Chevin Forest Park is a nature reserve on the slopes overlooking market town Otley (1.5 miles) where you’ll find quaint cobbled streets and a fine choice of independent shops, historic inns and eateries. For a true taste of local life, a landmark pub on the edge of the park dates from the 18th century and serves up locally sourced food. For a more cosmopolitan vibe, the city of Leeds is 11 miles distant, while Haworth – famous for its association with the literary Brontë sisters and the preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway – is another must-see and only 13 miles away.
