Nestled in a tranquil position, down a private drive, this charming cottage is a romantic retreat and ideal for cosy nights in. A delightful cottage that provides homely accommodation for two people within the most northernly dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and only a short distance from the Arkle Beck Meadows, a 21-acre site of Special Scientific Interest.

Outside, the front of the cottage is the perfect seating area to take in the countryside as there is an abundance of wildlife and birds to admire, let alone the breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside. This dales cottage is also within the boundaries of an official Dark Skies Reserve due to the area having some of the darkest and unpolluted night skies in the country.
