ASKRIGG

Hawes 4 miles; Bainbridge 2 miles.

The picturesque Wensleydale village of Askrigg is situated in truly beautiful countryside and is better known to millions as Darrowby - the village portrayed in TV's James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small". It makes an excellent holiday location for walkers, offering a great base from which to explore both Wensleydale and Swaledale, with beauty spots in the area including Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater, castles at both Bolton and Middleham and of course, Hardraw Force - England's highest single drop waterfall at 99ft! There are also lots of interesting market towns and villages to visit, including Hawes, Leyburn and Bainbridge, to name but a few.

The farm is located betwixt the Dales village of Askrigg and the attractive market town of Hawes - both can be reached via a footpath from the cottage. The cottage is spacious, light, well furnished and extremely comfortable.

Previous Visitors' Comments
West Shaw Cote is one of the cleanest holiday cottages I have ever stayed in. It is second to none. Set in a stunning location,it is somewhere to truly relax. It is a fantastic base for walking and enjoying Wensleydale. The owners welcomed us after after our long journey and were very accommodating. This was our second holiday at West Shaw Cote and certainly not our last to this beautiful cottage.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage, so that should speak for itself. The setting is perfect even in autumn. This time the presence of an open fire made it even more welcoming. The cottage, its location and surrounding scenery tick all the boxes for a perfect break.

Excellent property with very welcoming owners. Also, ideal for walkers as footpaths run through the farm.

Seemingly endless variety of walks (3 - 6 miles) through breathtaking scenery and suitable for parents carrying a small child in a backpack.
