  • "Wonderful cottage so relaxing ,comfortable and peaceful."

    lovely to watch the baby rabbits play from the kitchen window every morning . Excellent base to explore the beautiful Yorkshire area . Recommend visiting Studley Royal Park and Fountains Abbey ruin and the beautiful town Ilkley and Skipton. The owners Kath and Mark very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed just relaxing with a cool drink watching equestrian facility and all the hard work evolved looking after the beautiful horses. Hopefully will be visiting again soon Elizabeth and Bob.

    Thank for the great feedback. We are happy that you had a relaxing stay at Baywood and enjoyed exploring the local area. Best wishes, Kath and Mark Property Owner

    A wonderful location with stunning views. The cottage was perfect with modern appliances and immaculate throughout. The hosts were wonderful people and very welcoming.

  • "An excellent stay in this very comfortable and well equipped cottage."

    The fresh flowers, free range eggs and baked goods were delicious and very much appreciated. The views from the cottage were lovely and we enjoyed watching the ponies and seeing how well cared for they were. The cottage is in an enviable position in being able to visit many interesting places. We went to Skipton, East Riddleston Hall, Cliffe Museum and Park and enjoyed walking from Bingley 5 locks to Saltaire along the canal. Many thanks to Kath and Mark, two very friendly and hard working people.

Where you’ll be staying

COWLING

Skipton 7 miles.

The ancient village of Cowling sits across a hillside in the Pennine Hills, just seven miles from the market town of Skipton. A thriving village, built along a main high street with stone-built, terraced houses set alongside the mills of a bygone age. The village was once sparsely populated, the bulk of the population living in Ickornshaw and Middleton, and before that on Cowling Hill, close to water sources they depended on, and the main roads of the day - now used as back roads by locals to avoid the modern day traffic. In the early days, agriculture was the main occupation, with corn being grown and ground within the village. When canal transport boomed, corn became cheaper to buy from elsewhere and so the mills in Cowling turned from grinding corn to weaving during the Industrial Revolution. The village inn was once part of a farmhouse on Cowling Hill, but was sold as changes to the structure of the village began. The son of the landlord later opened the Bay Horse Hotel on the new road, which still stands as a main feature of village life. The nearby Quaker village of Lothersdale was, at one time, home to Charlotte Bronte who modelled Gateshead Hall in Jane Eyre on Stone Gappe House where she was governess. Today many visitors passing through the village are walkers, on their way along the Pennine Way on the stretch from Cowling to Gargrave. There's the large retail outlet of Boundary Mills, just six miles away, a must for lovers of shoping, and Skipton, known as 'The Gateway to the Dales' is nearby. Skipton is a lovely old market town with much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2008 the Academy of Urbanism voted Skipton High Street the best shopping spot in Britain, and The Copper Dragon Brewery, opened in 2002 is highly rated in the CAMRA listings. Steam railways with regular excursions are available at Embsay and Bolton Abbey, and the Leeds to Liverpool Canal passes through Skipton with the one mile long Foulridge Tunnel and the 5-rise locks at Bingley within a short distance away. In 2014 the area hosted the first leg of the Tour De France, bringing in many visitors from far and wide to this wonderful area.
