“Fountains Cottage was a true delight.”

It had everything we could possibly need inside and the location and view outside were just superb! We would definitely recommend it, and would like to return some day too.

“This stunning cottage is a gem of a find.”

The property is in an idyllic setting and is well equipped. The scenery is simply stunning and the facilities exceptional. The walk to Malham through the private woodland was amazing taking in the river at the front and the millpond behind. The owners couldn't do more to help and answered our emails/phone calls promptly. We wished we could have stayed longer. We have stayed in many holiday lets but this is by far the best in so many ways. We loved it so much we have booked to stay for a week next year. We would highly recommend a stay here.

“Your telephone system leaves everything to be desired, after negotiating the set-up menu, leaving customers hanging with nothing but silence, not even telling them that they are in a que, i'm suprised that you get any bookings at all.”
Mrs Poulton September 2019

“Fountains Cottage is an extremely comfortable and well equipped place to stay, so cosy to return to after a day's walking.”

It is in a lovely setting by the river and walks can be started directly outside the cottage. It is one of the best places we have stayed in.
Mrs Stevens July 2019

“Lovely old cottage with footpaths from the door.”

We had never used an aga before so that was an interesting challenge but there are so many good pubs within a mile that it wouldn’t have mattered if we had failed anyway! Loved it so much have already booked again for next year
Mr Fletcher June 2019

“This was our second stay at the cottage.”

We came back because it’s such a lovely place in a great location. So quiet and with easy access to short & long walks and great sales pubs. The cottage has everything you need. We’ll come again.

The cottage was a perfect way for my parents to have a break away from all the stresses of life and to have a chilled week away

“What a fantastic cottage, the location is wonderful.”

I did not want to leave
Mrs Findlay March 2019

“Fountains Cottage proved to be every bit as good as it’s description and previous holidaymakers comments lead me to believe.”

It was incredibly cosy despite the wild weather outside, the Aga keeping the kitchen constantly toasty. The beds were ultra comfy and we slept well which was great as the cottage is in an ideal position for wonderful drives, walks and shopping venues. Brilliant place which we would like to go back to.
Mr Mellor November 2018

“We had a lovely stay at Fountains Cottage.”

As soon as we walked through the door we felt at home. Thoroughly recommended.
Mr Phillips November 2018

“An excellent holiday cottage in a very beautiful and peaceful location, looking out over a river and a small green hill dotted with sheep.”

While not large, the cottage is very comfortable and warm, and extremely well-equipped. A perfect base for walking and motor trips in the southern Yorkshire Dales.
Mr Buck September 2018

“The cottage was one of the best we had ever stayed at.”

The location was perfect for us. And Malamdale was stunning. Everything was perfect. 10 out of 10.
Mr Barnard July 2018

“Very peaceful and quiet in a beautiful location.”

Lovely walking country straight from the door. Excellent holiday especially with the perfect weather.
Thompson June 2018

“Could have done with lighter duvets but exceptional location and the cottage was short of nothing.”
Mr Davies June 2018

“A lovely cottage, down a very narrow road.”

In quite an isolated place. Would not like to drive far in the dark as roads too narrow. More of a walking holiday, which was ideal for us. Lovely and warm though, and a good bed which was very comfortable. We had a lovely time.
Mr Fletcher June 2018

“Absolutely fanstastic - we’ll equipped, cosy, lots of instructions on how to use things, and in a great location for exploring the dales.”

A lovely property. We didn’t want to leave. Couldn’t fault it and would recommend it to anyone.

“Perfect Cottage - Truly in the country”

We stayed for a week whilst visiting family in the UK and doing some walking. The cottage is ideally located for access to main roads and towns, yet close enough to the dales and excellent walking country. The cottage is fantastically equipped just as you would if it was your own home. It has an Aga which is great fun to cook on, the whole cottage was spotless, with modern ‘everything’. Genuinely couldn’t fault it. There are lots of pubs around and very easy to pick up supplies at any of the towns and villages around the area. The cottage is part of a very nice mill conversion, up a quiet lane alongside the river, with lovely grounds and immediate access to the public footpaths to Malham & Airton. Definitely recommend it - I can’t say enough to praise the cottage and it’s quiet backwater location.
Mrs Dean June 2018

“The cottage is in a delightful setting although quite remote.”

We really enjoyed walking the mile through the private grounds and fields into Malham where there are several places to eat but no shops. Generally you need to go by car for any requirements. There are lovely walks from the door. The cottage is well equipped and furnished. Cooking on an Aga is quite a challenge, but it was 30 degrees outside! Some people would love it. We will definitely be going back.
Mrs Sadler April 2018

“The cottage is in a perfect location for walking and the surrounding views are amazing, we are already planning our next visit.”
Mr Lowe April 2018

“THE KITCHEN WINDOWS HAD THERE SECURITY LOCKS REMOVED AND SO THE HOUSE WAS NOT SECURE.”

“Fabulous Cottage”

Only got here yesterday as part of a weeks stay and needed to write this. Everything is perfect. Everything oozes quality and attention to detail. Kitchen has an AGA cooker. Now I want one back at home. Dishwasher/washing machine/fridge/Belfast sink and all the bits and bobs you need. Lovely touch with milk and beer in the fridge and fresh flowers on the table. Everything is there without the need to go shopping on your first day. Large breakfast table at one of kitchen. Constant surprises and delights with the thought and quality of the kit in the cottage. Coal fire in the living room with plenty of stuff to get it going. WiFi/sky tv/books/latest dvds/games/maps and guidebooks. Comfy couches and beautiful decor. Bedrooms are the same. Bedding fresh and soft. Nice fluffy soft towels. Underfloor heating in both kitchen and bathroom. Shower is fab. There are even heated mirrors. Located next to a river on the site of an old Mill it is 20 minutes walk up to Kirkby Mallum and a great pub The Lister Arms which has amazing food and glorious real ales. Perfect location for all the beautiful walks and near towns like Skipton. What an amazing find this is. Thankyou

“Idyllic cottage in an idyllic location.”

Our family of 4 (children aged 10 & 6) have just spent the perfect week in this beautiful cottage. It was immaculately presented with every home comfort you could possibly need. There was plenty of living and storage space. The cottage itself was warm and extremely comfortable in an idyllic setting. It was the perfect base to explore the stunning Yorkshire Dales. A particular treat was being able to walk from the cottage along the river and into Malham itself - just a 15 minute stroll. We couldn't have asked for more from the cottage or the location. We would very highly recommend.

“Fantastic cottage”

We have just returned from a week in this gorgeous cottage. It is part of an old converted Mill and is set in lovely peaceful grounds. It is walking distance (across fields) from a great pub in Malham and there are lots of walks that can be done directly from the cottage. It has fitted out to a really high spec, with a lovely warm Aga, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher etc. I would highly recommend this as a base for exploring the area.

The property

An exclusive and imaginative conversion of Scalegill Mill, originally an historic cotton mill dating back to 1792, with even earlier origins; this delightful stone-built, end-terrace cottage is situated on the banks of the River Aire between the Malhamdale villages of Kirkby Malham and Hanlith.

Styled and furnished by the current owners, this Malhamdale cottage provides a first-class holiday retreat alongside the river and the Pennine Way, perfect for small groups of friends and family exploring this beautiful location.

This Malhamdale cottage offers two delightful bedrooms and a first-class shower room with a marble worktop.

There is a lovely kitchen with a dining area featuring cream, hand-painted wall units and contrasting granite worktop surfaces, a Belfast sink and an AGA, as well as beautiful multi-coloured slate flooring.

Relax and unwind after a day exploring the area in the cosy sitting room, with its roaring open fire and French doors leading out into a shared courtyard.

There is a stone-flagged patio set above the river and the waterfall, an ideal spot for sitting out and enjoying the fabulous views, as you bask in the warm summer sunshine.

This Malhamdale cottage is set amongst several acres of communal gardens, why not take a stroll through the formal grounds and around the original Mill pond, before exploring the small woodland.

Possibly one of the prettiest walks in the Yorkshire Dales, a ten minute walk down the river brings you to Malham itself.

This Malhamdale cottage is centrally located in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, with wonderful walks leading straight from the doorstep.

Venture through Malham Tarn, along the shores of Malham Cove and discover Janet’s Foss, a spectacular waterfall.

About the location

KIRKBY MALHAM

Settle 9 miles; Skipton 10 miles.

The picturesque Dales village of Kirkby Malham is situated in beautiful Malhamdale amidst superb open limestone countryside. The village is made up of the Parish Church, a lovely old village pub, a scattering of dwellings and farmsteads. Kirkby Malham is a great starting point for walkers, with a route along the Pennine Way down to the river and a beautiful walk to Malham, its more famous cousin. More energetic walkers should explore Calton over Calton Moor to Weets Top and Gordale, or head eastwards towards Hetton. Nearby, Malham is a magnet for visitors to the Dales who flock to see Malham Cove, one of Britain's most impressive natural features. The Cove consists of a natural cavern or 'amphitheatre' of limestone rock, stretching 75 metres in height and 300 metres around the perimeter. A steep walk up man-made steps is rewarded with a superb view across the moors and limestone pavements to Malham Tarn, the Pennines' highest natural lake. Kirkby Malham is a wonderful central location with Skipton, Settle, Grassington all within easy reach of this Yorkshire Dales village.
