Description

Settle 0.7 miles. Lychgate Cottage is a delightful cottage resting just outside the popular market town of Settle in Giggleswick, Yorkshire close to the Three peaks area of the Dales. Ideal for two couples or a small family, this charming dwelling offers a quirky layout and warming woodburning stove making it a perfect base all year round. Arriving at the property, parking is located just outside near the quaint church, before stepping into your home away from home for the trip. Enter into the living/dining room and settle in for the evening to watch TV while the woodburning stove crackles in the background. From here, make your way to the kitchen to whip up a delicious meal for your group to enjoy as a family at the dining table; the kitchen hosts an electric oven and gas hob, as well as a handy dishwasher to assist with the cleanup. As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to rest your eyes in one of two double bedrooms. The first bedroom is mezzanine-style and accessed via a separate set of stairs, allowing plenty of privacy for couples. The second bedroom is located up the second set of stairs where you will also find a sleek bathroom so you can freshen up between activities or indulge in a long soak with a good book. Outside, you can enjoy a coffee on the patio in the crisp morning sun before the rest of your group rises. If you want to venture out for the evening, a 5 minute walk takes you to the Harts Head Hotel, why not treat your group to a pint or two? The area and surrounding villages will not leave you short for activities and attractions, with the plenty of shops including Booths supermarket, pubs and eateries to fuel your excursions. Settle railway station is 0.9 miles from the cottage for trips on the historic Settle-Carlisle railway over the impressive Ribblehead viaduct. Additionally, hikers can plan walks from local stations on this line as well as Giggleswick station being 1.1 miles from the cottage with services to historic Lancaster. Likewise, hikers can plan walks from local stations on this line. Heading into Settle town centre, you will happen upon Sydney's a contemporary yet characterful restaurant offering tradtitonal mains, along with small plates and pizzas so there is something for every taste. Embrace the local culture and spend an afternoon at the Museum of North Craven Life with its cosy cafe, which is within walking distance of the cottage in Settle. If you prefer to do your exploring by foot, head to Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail and follow the varying wooded trails which lead to Ingleborough Cave. The caves can be toured and boast lit pathways and fossils, or you can venture slightly further to the UK's longest cave, White Scar Cave.

The stunning Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are only 8 miles away. Lovers of wild swimming can swim at Stainforth Force, which is 2.5 miles away, about an hours walk on the Ribble way or a few minutes drive, park at Stainforth village. Branching further afield, take a day drip to the picturesque Lake District and relish in the stunning views of the lakes and peaks, or head north and explore even more of the Yorkshire Dales National Park where there is an abundance of walking and cycling opportunities. Lychgate Cottage is a wonderful base for a relaxing break to the Yorkshire Dales.

Lovely cosy little cottage.

A lovely comfy, clean cottage with all the amenities you could want.

The only thing I would have liked would be a pint of milk as a welcome (even long life in case not wanted) so I could have made a cup of tea before going to the supermarket (I came by train). The TV instructions were essential although I never managed to stop the TV automatically turning off late in the evening (I just had to turn it back on again). A shortish walk into Settle (along the river to avoid the hill).

Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We found the beds to be comfortable and the bathroom to be adequate. As described, the bedroom at the rear is accessed directly from a starircase leading from the kitchen and doesn't have its own door. Because we do not have a large car, we had no problems parking directly outside the front door. The Black Horse is almost next door and served us well.
