The Shambles, an old three-story building with stores on two floors and houses above, and the Town Hall dominate the market area, which is bordered by local businesses.

This is a well equipped and comfortable cottage The outlook isnât great as it looks onto the back of a fish and chip shop and a Chinese takeaway with all their industrial sized bins but the smells are divine That said it is well positioned for the centre of Settle and I wouldnât hesitate to stay there again The owner communicates in a friendly manner offering to help if any problems arise which they didnât
