Accommodation details

Steal away for a romantic retreat in the vibrant North Yorkshire countryside, staying in this exceptional cottage on the edge of Masham. Located on a family-run, seasonal caravan site with a cafe and shop on hand, you'll love embracing the slow, peaceful pace of life throughout a long or short stay here.

The cottage itself has been perfectly appointed for two guests, complete with bespoke finishing touches and features such as underfloor heating to elevate your experience. Embrace hikes, bike riding, rock climbing, fishing and every other outdoor activity within the Yorkshire Dales National Park (2 miles), touring local villages and spectacular beauty spots in Wensleydale and beyond.

Before stepping inside, notice the sweet bistro set positioned outside the property, a spot to sit with a morning coffee or your first drink of the evening. The single-storey property is centred around an open-plan lounge/kitchen with a double-height ceiling, handsome beams and skylights letting light flood in.

The bespoke kitchen with a breakfast bar for dining is on one side, complete with a coffee machine to get you going each morning. Next door, a super-king-size bedroom with a zip-and-link bed is a versatile choice and an ultra-modern shower room invites you to get ready to take on every adventure. Take the gentle 0.5-mile stroll into Masham town centre, crossing the River Ure as you go.

This splendid market town is typically Yorkshire with quaint architecture, fascinating local businesses, foodie spots and two famous breweries to tour and taste the local produce. Exploring the Nidderdale National Landscape close by, drive to beautiful destinations including Fountains Abbey (10.5 miles), Gouthwaite Reservoir (12 miles), Coldstones Cut (16 miles) and Stump Cross Caverns (18.5 miles) to discover the almighty splendour of the Dales.

A trip to the traditional village of Pateley Bridge is a must (13.5 miles), allowing you to visit England's oldest sweet shop before or after a rewarding hike.
