Beautiful cottage in the heart of Wensleydale

In the heart of the wonderful Wensleydalevillage of Askrigg. Pubs and bakery all excellent. The multifuel burner mean evenings in were cosy. Lovely bathroom and comfortable beds. Had everything we needed although access was a little difficult.

The Property is a lovely big converted stone stable. Flagstone floor throughout the ground floor. Large lounge with TV (digital) and 3 two seater sofas, large oval dining table. Downstairs toilet. Small “reading room” mezanine looking out over the sheltered courtyard garden. 3 large bedrooms upstairs. All rooms (up and downstairs) have wooden beams, including large bathroom set into the eaves where you really have to watch your head on the beams! Access is slightly quirky through a small archway/passage next to “the bake well” tea/cake shop (also does breakfast). Location is great - central to Askrigg village in Wensleydale, 5miles from Hawes. Very Slight negatives: (1) perhaps the cottage downstairs is a bit dark/gloomy. (2) TV is a bit fiddly to setup - everything is accessed via wifi “Ruku” box (including Netflix/Prime etc if you have and account). (3) Gas heating also needs setting on boiler and thermostat, you would probably want to set the fire in mid-winter as stone cottage is naturally a bit cold (4) main double bed is very hard. (5) Parking is on the road, but there was never an issue finding a space nearby. None of these is a major issue though. Overall its a lovely big cottage with lots of character in a great location.

Great time at stable cottage - perfect for 4 adults and 2 children. Only negative was the barbecue, which is not gas (needs coals) and is very rusty, so we didn’t use. However we grilled food in the kitchen and enjoyed eating outdoors in the garden.Would be happy to return!
