    Beautiful far reaching views from the reception rooms. Just a short walk to the village centre and pubs. Walks into to the countryside from the property with other dales walks nearby.

  • "This is a lovely property situated in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire and with breathtaking views of green fields, sheep and horses."

    The house is spacious and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need in the well appointed kitchen. It was good to meet the owner who lives nearby and is extremely obliging. We enjoyed some lovely walks from the village and would highly recommend this property.

  • "The owner was most helpful both before and during our stay."

    The house was warm and welcoming with excellent facilities. An ensuite bathroom for each bedroom was an added bonus. The downstairs utility was perfect for drying muddy boots and wet walking gear. There was ample parking space and the views from the living and dining rooms were incredible. Middleham was so interesting with the beautiful race horses, the nearby gallops, the castle and great walks in every direction.

    The owners were welcoming and easy to contact. It was well equipped and we had everything we needed. We used the downstairs room as a playroom for the children and loved the views from the sitting room. Middleham was a great base to visit Wensleydale from. All in all a fantastic holiday!

    It was perfect for our family get together and slept 10 comfortably. We went for walks in the Dales every day, which were outstanding and also found plenty of places for wild swimming. Will definitely be going back!

  • "The pictures on the website do not do this house justice."

    All equipment provided in the kitchen which made for an easy stay for eight people. Fantastic location with incredible views. Middleham is a great location and the house is minutes from the main square with the constant stream of racehorses as well as really good pubs. Very helpful owners all added to the positive experience.

  • "Beninborough Cottage is in a quiet corner of a delightful village, Middleham, which is nonetheless well served with pubs, restaurants and an excellent all purpose shop/newsagent and off-licence."

    For a party of six with ages ranging from 9 to 77, it proved to be an excellent base for a holiday; easy access to the Lightwater Valley and the Forbidden Corner, pleasant and easy pottering opportunities for the older members, not to mention Middleham Castle [childhood home of Richard III] in the village itself, Jervaulx Abbey a few miles away, and excellent shopping in Leyburn. The cottage itself has a stunning view across the dales and is far enough from the roads to be utterly peaceful. Watch out, too, for the grey squirrels in the garden. The cottage is a splendid facility; four large and comfortable bedrooms, all ensuite, all with tv sets, a very large lounge with a marvellous picture window, a dining area with the same view, and another lounge area in the very well-equipped kitchen. The induction hob on the oven was a novelty, but the instructions got us past that potential difficulty; and there is a laundry room with a freezer on the ground floor. It is simply not possible to fault the facilities on any score. More than that, the proprietors, Hilary and Roger, were very helpful and kind. Hilary waited in for us for over an hour when we got lost on the way there; we needed a blender for use in the kitchen and they loaned us one, and they were understanding about an accidental breakage as well. We take cottage holidays because they suit our circumstances, in particular the widely differing needs of a very extended family. Beninborough Cottage met those needs perfectly and we had a wonderful time. Christopher [aged 9} says: "I thought it was a lovely cottage, and I would love to stay there for years."

  • "Great views from a lovely cottage."

    We had a fabulous holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cottage. There is lots to do in the area and a warm cottage to go back to, that had plenty of room. The only downside was the drive being quite narrow with quite a hump to go over at the start, but a slow drive at the right angle was all that was necessary.

  • "Beningborough was extremely well equipped and comfortable."

    Just a few minutes from the centre of the village and ideal for touring the Dales. The owners were very helpful in giving us places to visit and eat. Our party of 8 adults really enjoyed the week we stayed there.

  • "I really liked the search facility at Sykes which allowed me to use a filter for pet free holiday homes; a lot of companies only allow you to filter for pet friendly homes."

    Communication with Sykes was also good. The property we stayed in was excellent. It is, as described, an outstanding barn conversion on the edge of the pretty village of Middleham, with beautiful views of the Yorkshire Dales. The location was perfect for walking in the dales. The village has a good village store and good pubs, as well as the attractive castle ruins. The house was clean, modern and spacious and the owners, next door, were friendly and welcoming. Our three teenage children loved having their own double beds and en-suite bathrooms and were pleased we had wifi. We highly recommend the holiday house.

About the location

MIDDLEHAM

Leyburn 2.5 miles; Richmond 12 miles.

The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a castle keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The horses are a great sight as they make their way to the gallops every morning. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a range of shops, pubs and places to eat. The bustling market town of Leyburn is just a short drive away offering a variety of great shops and pubs, or why not take some time to explore The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises set amidst 4 acres of grounds, providing a fun day out for all the family? All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.
