Description

Leyburn 3.5 miles.

Located in Preston under Scar near the amenities of Leyburn in North Yorkshire is Sunshine Cottage, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling.

Enjoying a stylish, open-plan living space, an enclosed garden with a private driveway, and a prime position near the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Sunshine Cottage makes the ideal base for a countryside escape, for couples, friends or families and their four-legged companion.

Park up on the driveway or to the roadside, before ascending the steps and reaching the light-flooded living space.

Be welcomed into the contemporary sitting area, with plush seating to relax upon with the Smart TV with Sky Glass on in the backdrop.

Continue through to the well-equipped kitchen, complete with state-of-the-art appliances, where you can rustle up tasty dishes to enjoy around the table for four.

For some peace and quiet or to box off any work, climb the spiral staircase to locate the snug/study, also featuring a handy sofa bed.

As the night unfolds, venture out to the enclosed patio, offering the ideal place to watch the sun set and enjoy a glass of wine or two.

Return indoors to catch some rest in either of the bedrooms, which can be set up as doubles or twins, both well-appointed and serviced by a sleek shower room.

Prepare for your coming days before kickstarting your itinerary, with hikes to Wensley Waterfall and Harmby Waterfall, before following the tunnels and chambers through The Forbidden Corner, ending in it's pretty 4-acre garden.

Traverse into the national park to visit the breath-taking landscapes of Aysgarth Falls and Cauldron Falls, whilst the Dales Countryside Museum is the ideal place to brush up on your local knowledge.

The market town of Richmond is within driving distance, also home to an immersive museum, the Richmond Falls, and the remains of Richmond Castle, recommended to tour for an activity steep in history.

Round off your break by travelling through the Nidderdale AONB, visiting the Nidderdale Museum, and hiking up to the Brimham Rocks, following the many nature-filled walking trails in the area.

Take to the countryside by booking Sunshine Cottage.

This was our fourth visit to Sunshine Cottage and, as always before, it was clean, warm and comfortable.

We always feel welcome and well looked after, which is a great feeling for any holiday accommodation, especially for a November break, when the weather can be so variable. The cottage is an ideal location for exploring Wensleydale, Coverdale and Bishopdale by car and on foot, with interesting walks going in all directions from the front door or a short drive away. Good food is available in four locations within walking distance Leyburn, Wensley, West Witton and Redmire with Sunday lunch in the Community Pub in Redmire being exceptionally good. Thanks again to Bev for looking after us so well. Highly recommended.

We loved the cottage.

Spotlessly clean and welcoming. Everything we could wish for was there. Lovely village. The welcome pack was good and we will be back.

Wonderful cottage.

Cleaned and equipped to a high standard. Everything you could need is provided including a great welcome basket of goodies. Lovely peaceful location and a great base for exploring all that the Yorkshire Dales have to offer. We will certainly be back for another visit.
