“The Friendly Room is brilliant.”

It's a great place to relax and it has everything you need. The owners add those few extra touches that makes it special.

“Friendly, helpful hosts.”

Comfortable, clean studio flat. Lovely village. Lovely area. Had a great time. Incidentally, I was also impressed with Skyes' advisors whenI needed to contact them. Excellent all round.
Mrs Bettany August 2018

“Excellent property in beautiful location situated at the edge of the village.”

Ideal location for walking and climbing the three peaks of Yorkshire.
Mrs Wardle August 2018

“The friendly room was so comfortable and the owners were very welcoming and hospitable.”

This part of Yorkshire is beautiful wonderful scenery. We would definitely recommend the friendly room.

“No, the information provided was spot on and the Rights could not have been more welcoming, helpful and informative.”

“Very comfortable place to stay and ideal location.”

The owners were very helpful. The noise from the fridge turning on may be a nuisance to light sleepers but it wasn't much of a problem for us. Small point, could do with another saucepan (only one there) if you were going to do a lot of self-catering. Really a great place to stay if you are aiming to eat out most of the time. We would certainly stay there again.

“Hi this was a lovely, bespoke studio with well thought out features and fittings and very friendly, helpful owners.”

I wouldn't book it again due to the fact I am a very light sleeper and the storage heaters resulted in the fridge being very noisy at night as it tried to maintain it's temperature and the meter in the kitchen cupboard emitting a very loud 'clunk' every few seconds! The storage heaters made it quite difficult to control the temperature too. A real shame as the area has a couple of nice walks, useful local amenities including a gastro pub which served delicious and inexpensive fare. It's also just 90 mins drive to The Lakes.
Mr Robinson September 2017

“Lovely spot in a lovely village with very friendly hosts.”

Nothing was any bother for them and went out of their way to make us welcome. One niggle was the noise the fridge made on a night, but easily resolved, turn it off until the morning ! Ha ha ! Very pleased.
Mr Adie September 2017

“A lovely studio cottage in a beautiful location.”

Friendly and helpful owners.
Miss Hatt August 2017

“Beautiful place in the middle of the Yorkshire dales.”

The owners were fantastic and couldn't do enough. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.
Ms Hayes August 2017

“The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the location was a perfect base for exploring the dales.”

We particularly enjoyed the village and the fact that it was 'off the beaten track' for tourists compared to some others in the area.
Mrs Maynard July 2017

“The property was ideally situated for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and the owners of the property were very helpful and friendly.”

Excellent holiday.
Ms Pope April 2017

“A small but very well thought out studio property.”

The hosts are very welcoming, the bed and lounge area very. Comfortable. We loved it, and it had everything we could need.

“Perfect for a couple”

We had a lovely long weekend in this perfectly appointed studio accomodation. An ideal location for walking from the door, and in a great village location with everything you could need. Including a fabulous "gastro" pub.

“Perfect accomodation in a superb location”

Every bit as good and more than the description. Very friendly and helpful owners who have thought of everything in creating this very attractive and comfortable accommodation. Ideal village location with easy access to explore all the many features of this beautiful locality.

“Good Base for Three Peaks Country”

The Friendly Room is a studio apartment of above average quality well suited for a couple. The interior is quite modern with plenty of light and room. The location is just off the main road through the village, but as the village is itself off the a65, it remains pretty quiet all the time. Austwick is well situated for walks in Three Peaks country either straight from the cottage, or as a base for other places such as Settle, Horton, Clapham, and Ingleton. There is a pub and general store in the village, and a restaurant across the road. A walk of a mile takes you to a super café/bistro in the hamlet of Feizor. I would recommend this property to a couple who enjoy walking and wish to explore the area.

“A lovely place to stay.”

The Friendly Room was just that. We felt welcome and warm after some wet walks in the hills. A marvellous walking centre for Ingleborough area with fine walks starting from the front door without using a car. The owners are discreet and friendly offering a cream tea welcome and all the local advice you need. The studio room is practical and stylish - the oven is a complete microwave/grill/convection appliance - much better than the advertising suggests! Perfect for a romantic stay.

“One of the best and all on the doorstep”

Comfortable, warm, clean, etc. friendly owners and scenic. Fantastic area for walking and cycling and geocaching. We would like to return sometime and we would recommend The Friendly Room to everybody.

“Bijou accommodation with everything you could wish for”

Although it is literally one room, this accommmodation has been extremely well designed. The bespoke kitchen has everything you need in a compact space and the living/bedroom area is very comfortable. The village is unspoilt with a shop, pub and hotel/restaurant and there are lovely walks from the door.

The property

A beautiful ground floor studio property, attached to the owners' 17th century house, on the edge of Austwick, one of the most popular villages in the Dales.

Thoughtfully restored and individually styled, this Austwick cottage has been elegantly furnished to provide quality accommodation in a wonderful location.

This cottage in Austwick offers superb facilities on one floor with level access.

The open-plan living area has a king-size bed, small modern kitchen and sitting and dining areas.

Add to this a separate shower room and guests have a perfect romantic retreat, somewhere to get away from it all and enjoy a Dales visit at its finest.

This cottage in Austwick is only a minute's walk from the village green and excellent local pub, and just twenty yards from the front door is The Traddock, an award-winning hotel and restaurant.

Ideally situated in this beautiful part of the National Park, this Austwick cottage is in an excellent location for exploring on foot or by bike.

The market towns of Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale are nearby and the impressive Three Peaks and Malham Cove are not far away.

Take a trip on the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

A fabulous Austwick cottage holiday location.

About the location

AUSTWICK

Settle 5 miles; Ingleton 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.
