Stable Cottage Askrigg

Tucked away in a quiet lane, just behind the main street in the popular village of Askrigg in Wensleydale, Stable cottage is an end-terraced, stone-built property and traditional in style. The spacious living/dining room has exposed beams and a warming wood burner for cooler evenings. The kitchen/breakfast room is the perfect place to enjoy a hearty breakfast. Up half a flight of stairs and you will find a separate galleried area, with books, maps and seating. It is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet! French doors open out onto the lawned garden at the rear. Outside the terraced garden is fully enclosed, lawned with picnic table and barbecue to eat alfresco in the warmer weather.
A two-minute stroll takes you into the heart of the village, where you will find a well-stocked village store and next door to the cottage a popular coffee shop serving a selection of delicious cakes and savouries. The three pubs in the village all provide local ales and homely fayre. The Yorkshire Dales offer spectacular scenery and an abundance of walks of all ability levels to explore. From the cottage there are beautiful walks along the banks of the nearby River Ure and the Askrigg Waterfalls Walk, which takes in both Whitfield Force and Mill Gill Force. For the more adventurous, longer walks and climbs in Wensleydale and Swaledale are within easy reach. The Yorkshire Three Peaks can be accessed from Horton-in-Ribblesdale, 40-minute drive away. For more restful days, there is so much to see and do within an easy distance. Picturesque Aysgarth Falls and Castle Bolton are nearby, and the market towns of Leyburn and Hawes are a short drive away. The Forbidden Corner in Middleham, a quirky venue with its labyrinth of caves, folly and underground caverns, is 13 miles away, and is hugely popular with families. The historic town of Richmond, famed for its castle, Georgian theatre, riverside walks and abundance of independent shops and tea rooms, is around a 30-minute drive.
