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 wide 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.

Cottage was immaculate with plenty of room. Log fire was tremendous. Faultless, very comfortable home from home.

Jade Cottage was a great place and a perfect base from which to tour the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage itself was extremely pleasant - well located, well kept and quite comfortable.

The cottage is very nicely furnished and comfortable, with everything we needed. We really enjoyed having it as a base for our daily trips around the Dales.

Middleham is a perfect base for a Dales holiday - quiet (mind it was May) but with all the basic facilities - small supermarket and a choice of eating establishments. Interesting castle, lovely walk along the river and a horse fanciers heaven with all the racing stables. Jade Cottage is a little haven hidden away from the main street and very pretty. Nearby Leyburn has just about everything you might need. But be careful of the Teashop Pottery - I spent a small fortune there. The Throstlenest Tours are a must - well organised with a very pleasant and knowledgeable driver. You see so much more than you would by car. I'm a frequent visitor to the Dales and the tour covered many routes and places that I had already visited but I learnt loads and saw things that I'd not noticed before.

Middleham is a lovely village with great walks etc. Fires in the open fire in the evening were lovely. The bed was really comfortable and the bedrooms had nice windows and were light. The owners and their dalmation were really nice and very welcoming, and the decor in the cottage was charming.

Jade Cottage is an excellent bolt hole. It was in a private corner and the village has everything you need.
