Located at the foot of Buckden Pike, and close to the head of Upper Wharfedale, the idyllic village of Buckden is the perfect place to start exploring the scenery and pretty towns of this magnificent Dale. Renowned for its walking routes, this region is home to the famous Dales Way, which passes close to Buckden Pike. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking areas in the Dales with Lady Anne Clifford way passing through the village plus the well known triangle walk, taking in the villages Cray and Hubberholme; The Millennium Trail to Starbotton, meandering back along the the banks of the river Wharfe. The village itself offers a variety of pubs within walking distance and a village store but there is plenty of scope to explore the local area. Grassington is a short drive away, famed for its Dickensian Christmas celebrations and the summer festival, or Hawes, the home of Wensleydale cheese. A stylish retreat adjoined to the owner's home, ideal for a romantic getaway.

Designed with couples in mind, this is a two storey retreat, featuring a charm-filled open-plan living area. Whether you are settling down in the wingback arm chairs, or enjoying a warm cup of tea at the bistro style table, this layout comprises everything you need to feel right at home. Morning through to night time you will feel truly relaxed in this desirable location. To the left of the entrance, a contemporary shower room introduces a unique feel to the interior, with a pebbled wall bordering the layout, and a rainfall shower situated above. The next floor is equally as wonderful, housing a double bed, bedside tables, and a wardrobe, with a few exposed beams on the ceiling, a peaceful environment to wake up to, guided by oak flooring. A lovely view looks out towards the village pub.

Spend some time in the pretty garden when you find the time, a delightful place to unwind, with a  patio area for enjoying sitting looking across the valley  taking in the wonderful views. Private off street parking next to the cottage.
