Fourstones sits on the edge of Burnmoor, high above the traditional Yorkshire market town of Bentham, with the Great Stone of Fourstones standing on the boundary where Lancashire meets Yorkshire. This large boulder is a relic of the Ice Age and has become a distinctive feature of the landscape, which also includes spectacular views over the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. To the north lies the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the famous Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent, while the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stretches away to the south and offers unspoilt landscapes and a range of visitor facilities. The area boasts limestone pavements, scars, caves and open moors and wonderful cycle tracks and walks. Nearby Bentham has a range of pubs and restaurants serving fine beers and good food, as well as a variety of shops and a post office. This peaceful area is nicely off the beaten track, yet the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving distance.

Previous visitors' comments about Lower Croasdale Farmhouse:
From the moment we walked through the front door we loved the property, the welcome tray and vase of flowers were a lovely touch. It was a freezing cold day and the cottage was always warm and cosy, amazing showers and plenty of hot water. We loved the location in the middle of nowhere, perfect for our family getaway!
Mrs Lee, St. Albans, February 2012
We booked the property for a relaxing week with friends and family and it offered the perfect setting in the middle of nowhere yet close enough to the local villages for days out and shopping. The property itself was stunning, as were the views, and the warmth of the ambiance in the cottage was amazing. There were fresh flowers and a tea tray laid out upon arrival which made us feel immediately welcome. The house itself, an old farm property, was fresh, light and well presented, the furnishings and decor were modern yet sympathetic to the age of the building. The kitchen was well appointed and we enjoyed gathering at the table for breakfasts and evening meals. The lounge was perfect for sitting with a glass of wine, a good read and chatting in front of the log fire. Would we go back? Absolutely!
Mr Broughton, Spennymoor, January 2012
The property has been converted and modernised to a high standard, with effective central heating even for the Pennine winter. The property is situated far from the road, which gives a glorious sense of peace and isolation.
Mr Carter, Birmingham, October 2011
The whole holiday was fantastic and the cottage and surroundings are lovely with the nearest village only 10 minutes away.
