“This was our second stay at Harber ...”

This was our second stay at Harber Scar and we loved it as much as we did the first time. great location, everything we needed and very warm and cosey. Lovely , clean and welcoming with a fire all ready made. The cookies and pint of milk was great. Last time we had muffins and everything was tasty and such a thoughtful touch. We had extra family with us this time who also loved it and they are thinking of booking it sometime for them selves. We will definatley be back, it felt like coming home!! We loved it.

“Lovely cosy cottage with everything ...”

Lovely cosy cottage with everything you need for a home from home. Great location for walking & visiting the lovely Dales towns. The Crown Hotel, opposite Harber Scar, doesn't allow dogs in the bar which rules it out of evening meals (leaving dogs in cottage alone not permitted) but the Golden Lion, 5 minutes walk down the road, welcomed them (beware of Saturday evenings though- bar will be packed with walkers & their kit until @8pm!!). I think the only downside were the huge quarry lorries that thunder past the cottage from @5.45am but they were noisiest in the two front(?) bedrooms.

“Fantastic base for exploring the ...”

Fantastic base for exploring the Three Peaks. Cottage was clean and welcoming with a lovely log fire for the wetter and colder evenings. Surrounding scenery was beautiful and plenty to do for anyone that loves the outdoors. The kids loved playing in the stream although getting to it was tricky with the speed some cars came round the corners and over the bridges.

“Miss”

As one of Kayla's party of 5, i can say this cottage is great. It is very quaint but very warm and we loved the wood burner. There was cake left for us which was delicious. The location was excellent. The local pub was only steps away and although they didnt allow dogs in, they took our meal order and delivered it to the cottage. Very good service. Would definately book again. Anne.

“Lovely well equipped dog friendly cottage!”

Just arrived home after spending three nights at this lovely cottage in Horten in Ribblesdale. I would highly recommend it especially to those taking their dogs to the dales. Everything you could want in a home from home! We loved it!

“This was a wonderfully comfortable ...”

This was a wonderfully comfortable cottage - warm, with a lovely garden and incredibly close to the local pub. We were using the cottage as our base to walk the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and it couldn't have been in a better location. Lovely that they allowed dogs too.

- Mrs George, May 2016
“A homely cottage with a lovely ...”

A homely cottage with a lovely atmosphere and walks available from the front door. We felt at home from the minute we walked through the door. After hard days walking, the pub 19.5 steps away was very welcoming, and then into a very comfortable bed for a great nights sleep. Highly recommended.

- Mr Limon, March 2016
“Chilled to Perfection”

Had a lovely 3 days here , very homely spacious cottage in a superb location. The milk and cookies mentioned in other reviews and made up log fire were all waiting for us on arrival and are a lovely touch.We managed the full 3 days of walking with a rewarding drink in the pub opposite , I made it 19.5 steps from front door to front door ,There was absolutely no noise from the pub and couple running it are very friendly. The garden is great as well and in warm weather your own private beer garden

“Great place, super facilities”

This is a wonderful three bedroom cottage with a large lounge, garden and great kitchen. The lounge has a wood burning stove in it. The cottage is exactly 12 steps from a great pub and has amble parking. The owner had milk in the fridge, cookies and had laid a fire in the stove. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom and shower are great. The garden is lovely and at the end is a nice creek. There are facilities for BBQ and lawn chairs. The only fault I have is there is no Wifi and the mobile service is limited in the village. The pub also does not have Wifi which I find very strange in this day and age. I really do think the owner must install Wifi as it is so necessary in this day and age to plan you outings. The village is nice with two pubs both with excellent food. There is a super old church and the location is central to exploring the entire area.

“Beautiful homely family cottage”

First class. We stayed here on a last minute break for 3 days. We had some lovely walks here. Cottage is situated just a; few minutes walk from the railway station and directly opposite the local pub which serves excellent food. Enjoyed the log burner fire on cooler nights - logs and coal were supplied for us - also had homemade raspberry muffins left for us on arrival - bliss. Ideal base for walking the dales. Would love to stay here again.

“Comfortable, warm and homely holiday cottage.”

The cottage is very comfortable, warm and all the conveniences you need. Dog friendly. Home from home. In a lovely position 1 minute from an excellent pub with friendly, dog friendly people. The cottage owners are very accommodating and welcoming of guests. The tea, coffee, sugar and milk and homemade biscuits was most welcome. We arrived by train, the cottage 10 minutes walk from train and the bus service is excellent. Lots of good walking from the door.

“Home from home”

Wonderful cottage which was very clean and comfortable. Pleasant little surprise on arrival - chocolate in any form is always a winner. Harber Scar is situated in an ideal location for exploring the Dales, walking holidays or, if you are really enthusiastic, climbing the Three Peaks. Cottage is 5 minute walk from the Settle - Carlisle railway which is well worth the trip even on a diesel train. The views are magnificent. Pub opposite the cottage is friendly and serves good food and ale. Although it is dog friendly they do not allow dogs anywhere inside the pub when they are serving food. Pub at other end of village is dog friendly all day except in restaurant.

“Lovely cozy cottage”

Really lovely cottage in a very nice village. Situated opposite a pub and near to the train station for easy access. Ideal for people that like walking as it is right on the Penine Way. Perfect base for doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks too. Cottage was very good value for money and we hope to return in the future.

The property

A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle.

A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming woodburning stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm.

Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby.

Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk!

A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
