About this property
A delightful stone-built terraced cottage, situated on the banks of the River Wharfe just outside Linton, one of the prettiest villages in the Dales. Fully restored to an exceptionally high standard, this Linton cottage provides a first-class holiday retreat in a beautiful location and is just 400 yards from Linton's 12th century church. This Linton cottage has been completely refurbished to provide an open plan living area with a fabulous three-sided woodburning stove as the central attraction, a beautiful designer kitchen and a cosy sitting area all complemented with stylish fixtures and fittings including oak flooring and modern contemporary furnishings. Upstairs, the two spacious bedrooms boast cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, super king-size beds and contemporary en-suite facilities. The balcony area overlooks the falls and the River Wharfe as it weaves its majestic way through the Dales countryside. Combine the facilities with the exposed beams, stonework and the lovely bi-fold windows overlooking the river and visitors have a Linton cottage of considerable merit. Outside this delightful Linton cottage, there is a large timber decked area, with views over the River Wharfe and Linton falls - the perfect place to relax and unwind in the summer sun. Centrally located in this beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, there are lovely walks from the doorstep, including a ten minute walk over the bridge at Linton Falls to popular Grassington with its wide range of shops, pubs and art galleries, summer festival and Dickensian Festival, which delights visitors with its traditional Christmas market and entertainment. A beautiful Linton holiday cottage, ideal for a romantic break or sharing with friends.
Set along the Linton Beck, the village of Linton itself is home to packhorse bridges, stepping-stones and fords, as well as multiple stone houses clustered around the central green, all dating from the 17th and 18th Century. The Fountaine Hospital, founded in 1721 is also located in the village and is one of the regions most renowned landmarks. Close by are the Linton Falls on the River Wharfe and a variety of paths and bridleways through the picturesque countryside. Down dale are the haunting Abbey ruins and Priory at Bolton Abbey, whilst the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor, is within easy driving distance. Kettlewell and Buckden, with spectacular limestone scenery are also worth visiting.

The weather was wet but we squelched our way through the rain and mud assisted by stops for coffee and cake. The scenery is always lovely whatever the weather although one or two rays of sunshine might have been nice. Visited Bolton Abbey and if you like history the medieval castle at Skipton is worth a visit. On the second night at the cottage we booked to visit again in November so I thinks that says it all about how we feel about the place.

The view of the river from the living room is stunning. The bed was probably the comfiest bed Iâve slept in and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. We hope to return.
