In the midst of some of North Yorkshire's most magnificent countryside, the bustling market town of Settle is located at the south-western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, next to the largest outcrop of limestone in the country. In Settle, Tuesday is market day, when the plaza 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.

For order people it needed another hand rail on the stairs. Didn't say there was no outside space. Very difficult dropping off and loading car up. All in all a very nice cottage.

All mod cons provided. Evenings were drawing in and heating kicked in to take the chill off. Easy walk into Settle town centre where there are plenty of places to eat and drink
