Property code: OC-84040

Nestled in picturesque countryside, this lovely farmhouse benefits from far-reaching views across rolling farmland towards the Cowling Pinnacle. With walks and cycle routes directly from the field adjoining the property, and the Pennine Way within easy reach, the area is a paradise for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The nearby market town of Skipton boasts a wealth of shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy, as well as a medieval castle. Bronte Country and the village of Haworth are just a short drive away where you can explore the inspiration behind the Bronte sisters' many novels. For family days out, the pretty hamlet of Wycoller, Hardcastle Craggs and the priory ruins at Bolton Abbey are all well worth a visit.

Stepping into this wonderful stone building, you are instantly welcomed. Head into the bright and spacious kitchen/diner which is fully equipped with everything you could need to whip up a home-cooked meal, including an electric range-style oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, a Dolce Gusto coffee machine, and a TV. A beautiful farmhouse table provides the focal point of the room and is the ideal space for all of the family to socialise after a day of exploring. Relax in the beamed lounge adorned with large comfortable sofas and a throne bed for your four-legged friend. Cosy up in front of the wood burner and take advantage of the many games and books on offer to entertain the whole family on a rainy day, or snuggle up in front of the TV/DVD. Moving through the property, you will firstly find the ground-floor shower room and, past here, onto the lovely sunroom with access to the garden and views of the rolling hills beyond. Off from the sunroom is a separate WC. To complete the ground floor is a spacious twin bedroom. Upstairs, on the first floor, you will find a further three bedrooms: one super-king-size with an en-suite shower room and WC, one double and one twin, all with a scenic outlook over the surrounding countryside. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor which benefits from a free-standing bath, a separate shower and a WC.

Outside, you will find a large, enclosed garden with a patio area and garden furniture. Light up the BBQ and enjoy dining outside with your family or relax in the hot tub (only available until 10:30 pm each night) and take in your stunning surroundings. A few steps lead down to another patio area which boasts a gas firepit, ideal for a chilly winter's night, and a delightful pond – this is unfenced so please take care with children and dogs. There is also the added benefit of a large field for children and four-legged friends to run free. There is ample off-road parking and secure bicycle racks.  Please check group bookings, including potential stag and hen dos, as these may not be allowed.

Apart from the weather we had a lovely 3 night stay with family and two dogs. The farmhouse was really good. Well equipped and very comfortable. The welcome pack was great as was the dog bed and treats. Loved the hot tub and walks from the door (in wind & rain!).

Beautiful setting with lovely walks. Cottage was very well equipped with very comfortable beds and sofa. The hot tub was lovely after a walk and the views were stunning.
