    The weather was kind and it is a great centre from which to walk and explore.The only problem was that the bed in the end room(blue) was not very comfortable according to my friend.The cottage is warm and cosy and the welcome cakes and goodies plus milk and water were very welcome.

  • "The property location was great, tranquil, good parking really secure for the dog, great walks form the front door, views amazing,kitchen layout great, beds and bathrooms great, the main problem, was the lack of heating."

    On arriving on the friday, the cottage became cold, on contacting the owners, who controlled the heating from their phone, they tried twice, over the next two days, informing us that the heating was working, but the temperatures was well below what they had set, so for the rest of our holiday,( some nights the outside temperature dropped below -2) we had to use a small oil filled electric radiator, which kept the area around us faily comforatble, as long as your feet where not in contact with the floor, but this left the bedrooms and bathrooms extremly chilly ( 8 degrees). We were not the only couple to state the problem with the heating, as we were informed this by the owner, on our arrival, Due to the heating problem, and the owners not correcting the heating system, we would not visit again, we do not like hot houses, but prefer to be able to increase the heating when arriving back from a walk, and be able to close down once warm, but we had to put up with a cold cottage for 7 dsays.

    I am very sorry that you were cold , we have contacted an electrician to come & check the thermostat. Property Owner

    It has every facility to provide for your needs and we really enjoyed our stay here. The property is located in beautiful countryside looking across Wharfedale and there are plenty of walks for all abilities. The owner provided some nice touches like milk and water in the fridge to get you started. We were met by the owner when we arrived who explained some of the house rules (not many). We felt comfortable immediately and she made us feel at home. Thank you.

The property

Settled amongst the rolling countryside of North Yorkshire, a stone's throw away from the attractive village of Thorpe, rests this charming stone-built barn conversion, Pogles Wood Cottage.

Framing spectacular, unspoilt vistas of the peaks of Upper Wharfedale whilst boasting a homely open-plan interior, Pogles Wood Cottage makes an idyllic base for two couples looking to experience a rural retreat.

Follow the winding country lanes before parking up in the off-road spaces provided and taking in the tranquil setting of your new home-from-home, peacefully nestled amongst the surrounding greenery.

Stepping inside, be charmed by the traditional décor of the open-plan living space, beautifully-appointed with a wooden kitchen housing a range of helpful conveniences, sure to entice any budding chef to prepare delectable dishes throughout your staycation.

Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the elegant breakfast bar to indulge or make the most of your rural surroundings and step outside to sample your culinary delights with a sociable seat in the garden; a truly lovely spot to enjoy a crisp glass of wine as the sun sets in the evening.

As the evening grows darker, retreat indoors and settle down to enjoy a family-favourite on the TV as the elegant underfloor heating gently warms your toes before bed.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor you'll find two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a double, each offering ample storage space to unpack your belongings and make yourself at home whilst each being served by a handy en-suite shower room, ideal for a quick morning rinse to kick-start the new day ahead.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and lace up your walking boots and embark on a two-footed adventure, Pogles Wood cottage is a great base for a walking holiday.

After a day of adventure, make a pit-stop at the local pub to indulge in a crisp pint of ale and a spot of home-cooked fare, or head to the local town of Grassington to add a touch of luxury with an indulgent slice of cake at Retreat Tearoom & Bistro.

For a unique experience, pack up a picnic and join the Huntfun treasure hunt to learn more about the fascinating heritage of the town, or escape the hustle and bustle and soak in the scenery with a visit to Threshfield Quarry.

Jump in the car and journey to Skipton, where avid golfers can test their swing with a trip to Skipton Golf Club or Whitehills Golf Driving Range or if that's not your thing, tour the exhibitions on display at Craven Museum & Gallery, discover the eerie dungeons at Skipton Castle, or stretch your legs with a wander along the banks of the Springs Canal.

Whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure, choose Pogles Wood Cottage as your next destination for a memorable staycation.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
