Idyllic country cottages converted from a 17th-century farmhouse. These two holiday cottages (ND51 and B5065) have been created from a lovely old stone farmhouse, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. In a quiet village near Skipton, with beautiful views across the valley to Bolton Abbey, with its ruined priory and woodland walks. Both the cottages are beautifully appointed and well equipped, with individual character, original features, pine furniture and pretty fabrics all enhance their old-world charm. Grange Farm House is an end of row house with beams aplenty, recessed panelled and shuttered windows and old stone work. Delph House forms the left hand side of Grange Farm Cottages and enjoys exposed beams. Enjoy a visit to the home of the Brontës at Haworth, 12 miles. Or go back in time and ride on the steam trains of the Yorkshire Dales Railway, 3 miles, or the Worth Valley Railway, 12 miles. Skipton is home to a medieval castle, a choice of shops, pubs and restaurants and boat trips down the 200-year-old Leeds and Liverpool Canal. There is some excellent walking to be enjoyed locally, just a few miles from the Pennine Way.
Please remember to request a cot, if required.

A beautiful, spacious cottage which was perfect for our needs for two nights. Close to Bolton Abbey where our son was getting married! Sadly no tea towels and a few toiletries would have been a nice touch. Overall we had a very pleasant stay!
