Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the cottage's spotless condition, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The property's idyllic setting in the Yorkshire Dales is frequently highlighted, with its proximity to a local pub and scenic walks adding to its charm. However, its remoteness and access via single track roads are noted, which may not suit everyone.
Guests frequently commend the comfortable furnishings, cosy atmosphere, and quality bedding, suggesting a very comfortable stay. One mention of an uncomfortable bed in the balcony room slightly affects the score.
The cottage is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, and overall high-quality facilities. Some minor maintenance issues and comments about the dishwasher's performance slightly lower the score.
The presence of a welcome basket and other attentive details are well-received, although it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Hidden deep within the magnificent landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is this traditional stone dwelling, Litton Hall Barn Cottage. Exuding character and charm through exposed stone walls and decorative beams, this picture-perfect holiday cottage offers a tranquil retreat for families or groups of up to six who seek a relaxing escape to the Yorkshire Dales. Feel the warmth of this traditional country cottage, as you step inside the inviting snug and take two steps up to the pretty cream shaker-style kitchen, and discover a plethora of appliances to help you throughout your stay. Rest and recuperate from a long morning stroll in the homely sitting room, as you place another log on the eye-catching woodburning stove and allow yourself to sink into one of the plush cream sofas that surround a contemporary flat-screen TV. Continuing through the ground-floor, the dining room provides a convivial space to entertain your nearest and dearest, with the beautiful antique grandfather clock sure to strike up a conversation, whilst a handy cloakroom lies just a few steps away. Climb the wooden staircase up to the first floor and be greeted by a gorgeous south facing bedroom adorned with classical furnishings and a king-size iron-framed bed, as well as a sophisticated en-suite shower room with chic tiling. There is a further bedroom with a king-size iron bed, featuring an idyllic covered balcony with a quaint table for two, overlooking the well-manicured lawns of the rear garden. Completing the bedrooms is an elegant double bedroom with windows to the south and west. Pour yourself a large glass of wine and delight in a long soak in the bathtub that rests in the family bathroom across the way, also home to a spacious walk-in shower where you can get ready for the day ahead. Embrace the fresh countryside air and awe-inspiring views with a picnic on the lawn in the back garden, or escape the excitement with your favourite book as you sit out front on loungers or at the lovely garden table on the front lawn. Find the historic Queens Arms pub, with its renowned friendly atmosphere, just a 100 metre stroll away, providing tasty lunch and evening meals and takeaways and complete with its very own brewery. Resting at the foothills of Birks Fell, there are many breath-taking hiking routes and walking trails right on your doorstep. Be sure to explore the vast terrain of Malham Tarn Estate and see the limestone ravine of Gordale Scar, or wander beside Clapham Beck as you travel along Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail. Climb Polver Hill and visit Hull Pot, or watch the cascading waters of Stainforth and Catrigg Force. Head underground at Victoria and Jubilee Cave, or visit the imposing geological formation of Malham Cove and the 12th century ruins of Middleham Castle. Find the market town of Grassington just 10 miles away and the village of Settle 14 miles away, both with a selection of great shops and friendly pubs, or hop in the car and head for Skipton, home to the medieval fortress of Skipton Castle and the Cavern Museum and Gallery, as well as an abundance of bars and restaurants to wine and dine in.

The welcome pack was much appreciated too! The owners were welcoming and helpful but unobtrusive and had thoughtfully even provided laminated maps of walking routes.

The dale is a quiet with plenty of choices of walks directly from the cottage and a great pub situated just a few yards away. The cottage is beautifully decorated, homely and comfortable - and very well equipped. We had a fantastic week and will definitely be looking to return next year.
