Located in the sleepy village of Little Crakehall, just outside the market town of Bedale, you can enjoy a truly peaceful getaway with the benefit of a welcoming pub and handy shop within walking distance. You are perfectly situated to discover the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales' rolling hills, with walking trails and cycling routes right on your doorstep. Make the most of your riverside location and strike out for a walk along the picturesque river. If you're looking for a little more hustle and bustle, the charming market town of Leyburn is home to many independent shops and eateries that surround the town square and is just 8.5 miles away. The wonderful town of Bedale is just 2.5 miles from you.

Step inside this romantic single-story retreat to find the open-plan living space made up of the lounge, kitchen and dining area. Following a day of exploring the great outdoors, fire up the living flame fire and cosy up in front of the Smart TV in the comfortable lounge. The compact kitchen comes complete with all the mod cons you'll need to prep some hearty home cooking before sitting at the dining table to enjoy a meal with your partner. The restful bedroom is home to a cast iron king-size bed, with the solid oak furniture and soft furnishings creating a homely space to recharge. The bathroom sits right next door and houses a shower cubicle and underfloor heating for those colder months. 

There's much to be appreciated outside also, step through the French doors from the lounge into a private patio complete with bistro furniture and a BBQ; perfect for some al fresco dining during the warmer months or you could throw out a picnic blanket on the well-maintained lawn area. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or an afternoon in the sun as you read your favourite book, the tranquillity of the garden is truly wonderful. Off-road parking is available.

The cottage is lovely and in a lovely location. Unfortunately the grass had not been cut for some time, so sitting outside wasn't as nice as it could have been. We were visiting the top of the dale, and it is quite a drive from Crakehall, so not ideal for us.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. So peaceful and yet within easy reach of many pubs restaurants shops etc. The cottage had absolutely everything we could possibly need. The garden was very well kept and our dog loved it. We hope to return next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful relaxing break.
