Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Kettlewell

Accommodation details

This traditional cottage is located in a convenient spot in Starbotton, a quintessentially Yorkshire village located on the banks of the River Wharfe. This area is a haven for walkers and cyclists, with wonderful trails offering Wharfe Valley views, suitable for dogs and children. You'll have a welcoming family pub less than 100 metres away, serving up hot meals for when you don't fancy cooking.

With space for six guests over four bedrooms, this accommodation is perfect for a family holiday or gathering among outdoorsy friends. This beautifully restored 17th-century property is full of character and charm, with its exposed interior stone walls and oak beams. In the cosy lounge, it's a joy to light the wood burner on a chilly night and settle into this charming space filled with antique furniture and elegant wood panelling.

The sweet kitchen has been completely modernised in a white-and-grey cottage style – as you boil the kettle for a cuppa, be sure to absorb those soothing views through the low windows. Another wood burner features in the atmospheric dining room, along with a grand dining table for candlelit dinners.

There's also a second reception room ensuring your group has plenty of space to spread out, while the games room will be popular with children. Outside, a pretty, south-facing garden with a generous lawn and patio area sets the scene for BBQs on warm evenings. Nearby, the neighbouring villages of Kettlewell, Arncliffe and Grassington (all within 9 miles) are all fantastic options for exploration.

This part of England has plenty of potential for adventures, whether you fancy day hikes to popular spots like Malham Moor (15 miles), sailing on Grimwith Reservoir (13 miles) or a historical experience at historical Bolton Abbey (17 miles).
