Nestled within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this peaceful getaway offers a tranquil retreat where you can relax and unwind. Tucked away in the quintessential village of Otterburn, the cottage is surrounded by rolling hills, verdant meadows, and babbling brooks. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the scenic trails that wind through the dales starting directly from the doorstep, including a 4-mile trail that leads to Malham. Here, you can explore the impressive natural formations at Malham Cove and marvel at the picturesque Janet's Foss waterfall. Explore the majestic Bolton Castle, a medieval fortress with a rich history, or venture to the Aysgarth Falls, both within 30 miles. The fantastic market town of Skipton is only 8 miles away with its cobbled streets, range of shops, cafes and ancient castle.

Step into this charming and rustic cottage, thoughtfully designed in an upside-down style to maximise the breathtaking countryside views. As you ascend the stairs, you'll find yourself in a cosy lounge adorned with comfortable seating and a Smart TV, perfect for enjoying your favourite shows after a day of exploration. Adjacent to the lounge, the well-equipped kitchen/diner invites you to prepare delightful meals using the provided essentials. Just off the kitchen, a small reading room beckons bookworms to curl up with a good book and lose themselves in literary adventures. Heading downstairs, you'll discover two inviting bedrooms awaiting your restful slumber. The first bedroom features a snug double bed, offering a peaceful haven for a good night's sleep. The second bedroom, adorned with comfortable twin beds, is perfect for children or friends sharing the cottage. Nearby, a family bathroom awaits. Additionally, a practical utility room is available, providing convenient facilities for laundry and storage.

Outside, a delightful, enclosed patio garden awaits, where you can revel in the fresh country air and enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings. On summer evenings, make use of the charcoal BBQ and prepare a delicious al fresco meal amongst the beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside.

Lovely, comfortable, well equipped cottage. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. Good base from which to explore the spectacular countryside, plenty of good walks close by. Not sure you could get 2 cars parked as stated in the description though.

Comfortable and spacious cottage in a lovely quiet and rural location. Handy for the Southern Dales, with lots of great (and quiet) walks from the doorstep.

A well-equipped spacious cottage in a very pretty location and with good walks from the door. It was very handy for Malham and its Cove and Tarn, and other places along the Pennine Way.

The cottage is modern clean and comfortable. The cooking utensils were numerous. There was also books games and fantastic WiFi. The Tv had a firestick so we had enough to programmes. The patio was brilliant. Everything was perfect.

A good value for money cottage in a lovely little hamlet. We could watch the comings and goings from the kitchen window on the first floor. Enjoyed evening strolls around the village with beautiful pink skies.A good base from which to enjoy the western Dales.
