About this property

Coverdale Cottage is a charming country cottage, situated next to the owner's home nestled in the picturesque village of Carlton-in-Coverdale near West Witton, looking out over a beautiful garden with views across fields to the hills beyond.

Perfect for couples on a romantic weekend away or a longer stay with family and friends. The traditional cottage is comfortably furnished and spacious.

The dining table in the bright, homely and well-equipped kitchen is ideal for enjoying breakfast before an adventure-filled day.

Old Carlton-in-Coverdale is a charming village in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled in a tiny valley bordered by towering fells, and is one of the best kept secrets in the region. In the past, Coverdale was a popular route for packhorses to go between Wharfedale and Skipton. Traditional ancient stone-built cottages, a few farms, guest houses, and the village tavern, The Foresters, make up the settlement. In the valley below, the river Cover flows. Penhill and Roova may be seen on either side of Carlton. With its adventure gardens and eateries, the Forbidden Corner is a terrific place to take the whole family.
