Description

Resting on a quiet country lane, two miles from the centre of Skipton, is Foxstones Cottage, a stone built, semi-detached barn conversion, tucked inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and boasting picturesque countryside views.

This one-bedroom cottage is ideal for a couple's retreat for those wanting to explore the magnificent countryside of the Yorkshire Dales.

The large gravel driveway offers parking for two cars, as well as an enclosed garden with a patio area and outdoor seating, where you can enjoy an alfresco breakfast in your peaceful setting.

Step inside the property and discover a contemporary, open-plan living room with underfloor heating throughout the ground-floor level of the home, with a cosy sitting room offering a sofa and a Smart TV with Netflix, which you can enjoy beside the warmth of the woodburning stove, enjoying the garden view.

The well-equipped kitchen makes excellent use of the space, with an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, as well as plenty of worktop space for preparing ingredients, while the dining table offers the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic meal together.

The convenient cloakroom offers a basin and WC, as well as a washing machine, should you need to clean any muddy clothes, while up the staircase, you will discover the characterful, spacious bedroom with a king-size double bed, high ceilings with A-frame and lovely wooden beams, a feature exposed stone wall, engineered wooden flooring, a lovely countryside view, wall-mounted TV and a lovely en-suite bathroom, with a choice of bath and walk-in shower to start each day.

There is a shop and restaurant less than a mile away, while an array of independent shops, great bars, cafes and restaurants can be found in the centre of Skipton, just over two miles away.

The market town boasts a medieval castle with its own dungeon, close to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which can be accessed within a five-minute walk of the property and is excellent for walking and cycling.

Skipton is also home to a golf club, a park and the renowned Skipton Market, a tradition that has been upheld since medieval times, with stalls set up on the cobbled high street four times a week, where you can pick up a range of fantastic produce.

A ten-minute drive away from the cottage is the Coniston Hotel, which features a restaurant, luxury spa, shooting and 4 x 4 off-road experience, making for a fantastic day out.

Take a break from driving and enjoy the views with a journey along the Settle to Carlisle railway or the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.

Head further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park to discover rugged moors, valleys, hills and quaint villages, as well as attractions like Malham Cove, a unique rock formation with a waterfall and picturesque valley views, Janet's Foss waterfall and natural pool, accessed via a scenic woodland trail, Stainforth Force waterfall on the River Ribble and for keen walkers and cyclists who enjoy a challenge, the Yorkshire three peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside.

The spa town of Harrogate and the Forest of Bowland AONB are both within a short drive, while the picturesque Dales villages of Malham, Bolton Abbey, Settle, Gargrave, Grassington and Kettlewell are all within a 30-minute drive.

We were very impressed with our hosts Caroline & Alan.

Alan (& we suspect Caroline as well) have done an amazing job on the cottage. It’s situation is ideal for exploring the southern area of The Dales.

Foxstones Cottage was very clean on arrival.

Bed very comfortable but needed to use the steps as bed is set up very high. WiFi very hit and miss but location is very rural so expected. Great location for visiting the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas.
