About this property

Idle for walking. In the centre of the 3peaks

  • The cottage is situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the heart of the famous Three Peaks Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, offering some of the finest walking country in the UK . Settle to Carlisle railway runs near the cottages, station being only 10 minutes walk away. The attractive town on Settle, 6 miles away and the picturesque Dales town on Hawes 15 miles away. The area is also well known for its Pot Holing, Alum Pot being 3 miles. White Scar Caves and Ingleton Waterfalls being a shot car journey. The village has two puiblic houses, The Crown and The Golden Lion both within walking distance. The beautiful St. Oswald church is at the south end of the village and is well worth a visit

Perfect Location

Fantastic location with great views from every window. Morning coffee on the patio with views over sheep in the fields, stone walls and a nearby stream, topped off by the mountains, was a great way to get the day started.

Lovely farmhouse property.

View of Pen-y-Ghent from the bedroom window is stunning to see. The owners are next door but only around if you need them. Thanks for the lovely stay, the biscuits and tea, coffee were a thoughtful touch too. Will stay again. Thanks again

Characterful cottage in beautiful surroundings

Property is on the edge of the village with a great view of Peny-gent. The cottage was clean, warm, spacious and ideal for two couples. The decoration was dated but suited the style of the cottage. The hosts were friendly and available but not obtrusive. We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage enhanced our holiday.
