Self catering holiday cottage in Dacre Banks, North Yorkshire

Accommodation details

Vintage design details and statement furnishings add an air of indulgence to this high-end home, one of a small cluster of holiday cottages near Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Pet-friendly, it features a fabulous living space, a separate cinema room and a bathroom for each of its two beautiful bedrooms, plus a garden with far-reaching valley views.

Indulge your taste for the high life with a trip to Harrogate – the spa town is just over 12 miles away. Surrounded by a patchwork of fields, this deluxe residence is one of a small group of holiday retreats above Nidderdale's riverside village of Dacre Banks. Inside, its bold patterns and colour palettes accentuate a skilfully curated blend of period and contemporary furnishings and design details.

At the heart of the home is a semi-open-plan living space, featuring an on-trend kitchen/diner complete with a traditional dining suite plus bar-style seating at a central island unit. Adjacent, the lounge has an altogether different feel – in the daytime, light floods in through the large window, but close the curtains at night and you can sink into the sofas and warm your toes before the wood burner-effect electric fire as you watch TV.

A handy cloakroom/utility area completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs, you'll find a fabulous snug/cinema room with a Smart TV and a large sofa plus two dreamy bedrooms – the first is a super-king-size featuring a walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, the second a king-size.

A separate shower room ensures convenience for all. For fresh air and stunning country views, step out to the front of the property where there's a lawned garden and gravelled patio area complete with a BBQ and outdoor furniture. Wander half a mile into the village for vital supplies and traditional pub fare, or drive to Harrogate for the ultimate in upmarket retail, dining and indulgent experiences Рthe elegant town is home to the famous Betty's Caf̩ Tea Rooms and the Turkish Baths.

If immersion in nature is more to your liking, Nidderdale is just to the north – head 3 miles for a walk around the dramatic Brimham Rocks, or 5 miles to Pateley Bridge, a picture-postcard town at the heart of the AONB.
