This charming, terraced Dales cottage is set in the picturesque village of Redmire near Leyburn. Tastefully decorated with country charm, the cosy living room has traditional beams and a warming wood burner. A modern shaker style kitchen/dining room is extremely well equipped with everything you will need to rustle up a hearty breakfast or warming supper. Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms, a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, ideal for a couple or small family. To the rear is an enclosed patio area furnished with table and chairs, and with views across to Penhill, a lovely spot for early breakfast or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Access to the patio is from the cottage or via shared access across the neighbouring cottage.
Just 4 miles west of Leyburn, and in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the village of Redmire is like a picture postcard, with country walks and some spectacular views over Lower Wensleydale.
For getting out and about it even has its own station on the Wensleydale Railway. The line runs for 16 miles and links the village with Leyburn and Leeming in the Vale of York, and is serviced by diesel and occasionally steam engines making several return trips daily.
Redmire provides a perfect base from which to explore the pretty Dales villages. Try the circular walk from Redmire to Aysgarth taking in both the Redmire Falls and spectacular Aysgarth Falls. Visit Castle Bolton where Mary Queen of Scots was held in the 16th century. Explore Preston under Scar, the River Ure and Penhill, passing through the beautiful Dales countryside, and at the end of the walk head back to the village where you will find a local pub offering food and hand pulled ales just a stone’s throw away from the cottage.
Scenes for ’All Creatures Great and Small’ were filmed here and elsewhere in the village.
Nearby are the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn with their many shops, pubs, restaurants and craft workshops, where craftsmen display their skills and sell hand made products. Historical castles and ruins are numerous with Bolton Castle almost on the doorstep and Middleham Castle a few miles away. The Forbidden Corner is just down the road with its labyrinth of tunnels and underground caves to explore with an excellent on-site restaurant for lunch or supper. There is so much to do and see you will certainly want to come back. Shop and restaurant 5 miles, pub 100 yards
Spoilt for choice - gate lodge or cottage near the sea? Yorkshire is tourists heaven. There is plenty of cottages with dogs allowed in Bronte Country, Yorkshire Dales or North Yorkshire Moors - some have fishing nearby.
