In Settle, Tuesday is market day, when the square is crowded with stalls selling a wide range of goods and crafts. Local stores line the market square, which is dominated by The Shambles, a historic three-story structure with shops on the first two floors and houses above, and the Town Hall. A public pool and a good selection of eateries and bars are available. Throughout the year, the Victoria Hall hosts entertainment and various events including folk nights. The renowned Settle-Carlisle Railway travels through some of the nation's most breathtaking and inspiring upland landscapes. The surrounding Dales towns of Skipton and Malham, as well as natural wonders like Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, are both easily accessible.

    My friends and I completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge so location ideal too. The welcome package was a lovely touch too, thanks very much.

    In fact, the rooms were all larger in real life than they appeared in the photo gallery! Andy and Tracey, the owners, are very approachable and lived only 5 minutes drive away. A lovely touch was the basket of goodies, plus more in the fridge, and the vase of tulips on the table.

    Well situated for public transport and for walking into Settle. We appreciated the welcome basket.
