About this property

Nestled in the picturesque village of Muker, opposite the River Swale, is this traditional cottage, Wayside Farm. Perched amidst the delightful Yorkshire Dales National Park, Wayside Farm offers a splendid escape for families seeking exploration of this idyllic region. Upon entering, you are immediately charmed by the high quality finish; to one side rests an open-plan kitchen and living area. Here, you can rest at the armchair and keep the designated chef company whilst they prepare a feast in the kitchen that provides all the amenities needed for a short stay. A walk through to the adjacent side provides a delightful sitting area, home to a spacious corner sofa, woodburning stove and Smart TV, creating a homely ambiance, ideal for enjoying your down time. Serve a home-cooked dish at the dining table, toasting to a much-needed break with your group, before loading up the dishwasher and planning for tomorrow's adventure. Whisk yourself upstairs and retire to the bedrooms, offering two double rooms with en-suite showers and a pretty bunk room for the little ones. There's also a sumptuous family bathroom with bath and shower over, so you can best decide how to prepare for the day. When you’d rather not cook, just a moment’s stroll away lies a welcoming pub, Farmers Arms, where you can enjoy some delicious grub and sample a range of ales. Muker is also home to a tea room, crafts shop and village store, handy for grabbing any essentials. Those looking to get their steps in, can find the beautiful Pennine Way path running through the village; taking you along miles of charming landscapes steeped with history and spectacular scenery. While in the area, be sure to visit two of the area’s most popular waterfalls, Kisdon Force and Wain Wath Force, which make for a sight not to be missed. Take your exploration further afield and spend an afternoon wandering the market town of Richmond, home to many independent shops and an impressive Norman Castle. Wayside Farm promises a splendid escape, whatever time of year.

Muker is a settlement and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, at the western end of Swaledale, one of the Yorkshire Dales. It is located within the Richmondshire district. Muker has seen an increase in visitors and holidaymakers since the late 1800s, and today the village offers a variety of walking possibilities, including a network of public footpaths in Upper Swaledale. Muker also has a village shop, a tavern (The Farmers Arms), an art gallery, a craft shop, and a café housed in an old school building. The Muker village tea store, which was formerly the Vicarage, was erected in 1680 and retains much of its 'Olde worlde beauty' today. The Muker Village shop has a Park Information Point for the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Parish Church of Saint Mary, a Grade II* listed building, is the only church in the settlement. The River Swale runs alongside the settlement, with Kisden Hill providing a lovely backdrop.

    All of the facilities are really good. Very close to an excellent pub which has real ale and good food for lunch or dinner. Would recommend and we would return.

  • Samantha

    Wonderful walks incredibly close by, falling asleep to the sound of the waterfall outside the cottage, incredible internet speed if you wanting to connect or work while away, great for any family plenty of rooms to put your feet up after a long walk or out in the dales and catch up on your favourite tv show. great working washing/dryer and dishwasher to help your stay be as laid back as possible. we happened to leave an item behind and contacted the owner who was incredibly kind and send our item immediately back the next day, thank you Chris and thanks for a wonderful stay! highly recommend and look forward to staying again very soon.
