Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Hampsthwaite

Accommodation details

Take a journey into the picturesque Yorkshire Dales when you stay at this unique cottage set on the platform of a former railway station. Oozing style, charm and a sense of fun at every turn, the luxurious abode is situated near Hampsthwaite, 6 miles from Harrogate. Just 2 miles from Nidderdale and with views out into ancient woodlands, it benefits from a beautiful garden and decked terrace overlooking the old railway line.

With two bedrooms, the lovely single-storey cottage sleeps four guests. Open the front door and enter to find airy, open-plan living, with underfloor heating. The hub of the sumptuous getaway is its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which has been decorated in an opulent yet eclectic style, exuding comfort and warmth throughout.

Admire the wall decorated with sports memorabilia then play a game or settle on the sofa in front of the TV. Pull the doors open in the summer or light the wood burner on chilly days. Prepare home-cooked meals over in the kitchen then dine up at the breakfast bar or the table. At the end of each day away at this fascinating retreat, head off for a great night's sleep in one of the two bedrooms.

The king-size bedroom is semi-open-plan to the main living space and there is also a twin bedroom. The exquisite family bathroom also has a stylish finish. Make the most of the beautiful garden at this Yorkshire cottage. Take your coffee out to one of the benches on the lawn on sunny mornings or dine on the decking as you gaze out at your surroundings. Plan trips into Harrogate to browse in boutiques, galleries and independent shops.

Have afternoon tea here too in one of its elegant cafes. Keen walkers might like to follow a section of the Nidderdale Way, which passes through Hampsthwaite.
