AUSTWICK

Settle 5 miles; Skipton 20 miles.

Situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is arguably one of the finest areas for walking in the region. With limestone pavements and scars, caves and open moors, the area has a wealth of natural interest and there are wonderful cycle tracks and walks on the doorstep. Austwick boasts a local pub serving excellent home cooked meals and a country hotel for something a little more special, as well as a shop and post office for visitors' daily requirements. This quiet village 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
Excellent location for walking and touring the national park - particularly the three peaks. Owners of property were helpful and friendly. Wonderful gardens/woodland to explore.

So peaceful and quiet, the woods were loved by our kids and dog. Plenty of good walks from the doorstep, hardly used the car.

The cottage benefits from the quiet surroundings. We found the domestic and heating systems were very good.

We had initially wondered if the coach house might be located a little too near the Hall but our concerns were completely unfounded as the position is superb. The garden and grounds of the Hall are wonderful - and to have unlimited access to these was a delight and a bonus. The immediate area is a walkers paradise. We went on a local walk the first day and thought we had died and gone to heaven when we saw literally masses of bluebells, primrose, cowslip, wild garlic and the jewel in the crown - bee orchids. The coach house was the ideal base for a very memorable holiday.

Excellent accommodation. Very good and friendly owners. Gardens were superb for a stroll and house faced south west so we even managed 2 early evening BBQs, not bad for April!

The cottage exceeded my expectations. It was extremely comfortable and very peaceful. The owner was helpful and welcoming: it was lovely to be able to walk in the extensive grounds. The location was excellent - we walked from the cottage in different directions; as keen walkers, there were many good walks to choose from of varying lengths. Also the pub in the village served very good food and was also within walking distance. We would definitely like to return!

The cottage is very comfortable and in a lovely location. The village of Austwick is very pleasant and the Game Cock Inn serves excellent food. The owners are very helpful and made us feel very welcome.

The location of this cottage is excellent. Stacks to do locally and fantastic walking. A great place for children and/or dogs and just a quiet time away. First class.
