Temple House is in West Burton, which is a proper Yorkshire Dales village. It's a big stone house on the green. The garden is enclosed and private, which is good if you've got kids or a dog. There's on-site parking and an electric vehicle charger.
It sleeps eight people. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms. That's the main thing. One bedroom and a shower room are on the ground floor, which is handy. The other three bedrooms are upstairs. One has a zip-link bed, so you can have it as a twin or a super king. The mattresses are good. The bedding is all included.
The stairs are fine, but the top floor bathroom is in the eaves. There are two steps down into it and the ceiling is low in parts. It's got a nice slipper bath though. That floor also has a big open area with a desk and a printer, if anyone needs to work.
Downstairs is all very open. The kitchen, dining and living areas flow together. The kitchen has a big SMEG range cooker and a coffee machine. There's a utility room with the washing machine. The living room has a wood burner and a Smart TV. Bi-folding doors open from the kitchen seating area onto the patio.
West Burton itself has a shop, a butcher, a tearoom and a pub, all about a five-minute walk away. The pub does food. The village green is nice. There's a hidden waterfall in the village you can walk to.
You're right in the middle of Wensleydale. Aysgarth Falls is about a mile away. It's a series of waterfalls on the River Ure. The Forbidden Corner is a strange garden with follies and tunnels, less than five miles away. You need to book that in advance. Leyburn and Hawes are both within about ten miles. They're proper market towns with shops and cafes. Hawes has the Wensleydale Creamery.
For a longer day out, you can get to the Yorkshire Dales National Park visitor centres, or historic places like Jervaulx Abbey, within half an hour. The coast at Whitby or the city of York are about an hour and a half's drive.
In terms of what's here: all the towels are provided, there's a cot and a highchair, a dishwasher, WiFi, and that EV charger. No pets, sorry. It's a 5 Star property, which means it's well-equipped and finished to a high standard.
