Alternatively, why not step out to the outdoor sitting area to delight in an alfresco affair, with a late-night tipple in hand? When the sky grows dark, wash away the day in a spacious shower room before clambering into a sumptuous four-poster bed with direct views over the River Aire, to catch your sleep.

A charming community with a stunning limestone cove and scar, located about 7 miles from Malham on the banks of the River Aire. There are several dining options in the hamlet, including an excellent Indian restaurant, as well as a few bars, cafes, and retail establishments. Gargrave is an excellent starting point for visiting this region of Yorkshire because it is traversed by the Pennine Way, the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, and bicycle route 68. The legendary high street and old castle of Skipton, often known as "The Gateway to the Dales," are located four miles away in this historic market town. This location, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is great for touring, biking, and walking.

  • Simon

    Owners very friendly and helpful. Brilliant location for walking and cycling. Did not use the car at all and walked to Malham (via Pennine Way) and Skipton (via Pennine Way and Leeds/Liverpool canal), as well as cycling around the lovely area. Highly recommended!

  • Rob
