About this property
West Burton 3 miles.
A magnificent, detached listed farmhouse, with panoramic views over seventeen acres of private grounds, with its own babbling brook, in the picturesque Walden Valley, 3 miles from the village of West Burton. Full of immense character and charm, with a range cooker, exposed beams and antique furnishings, underfloor heating and fires in the sitting and dining rooms make this property a fabulous cosy retreat. Enjoy beautiful walks through the grounds, down the valley to West Burton, or go on a sightseeing tour of the famous Dales villages of Buckden, Kettlewell, Hawes and Leyburn to name but a few. An ideal base for a traditional Dales holiday.
The lovely town of West Burton, nestled in a hollow of the little-known Walden Valley, is a wonderful location for a peaceful holiday. This charming, ancient village is situated in beautiful countryside in the heart of Wensleydale. Composed of old stone cottages surrounding the famous broad village green, this is a popular retreat amongst walkers looking to enjoy the Dales with their wonderful views and small but spectacular Cauldron Falls - a feature that was captured about by the artist, J M W Turner. Also fringing the green is a traditional village pub which serves good food, whilst there is an excellent range of amenities in the nearby market towns of Hawes and Leyburn.

For those seeking peace and quiet, comfort and cleanliness it is perfect. If you like walking or hiking you can go right from the front door whilst also being situated in the middle of the dales for alternative routes. Hope we'll be back again one day!

If you want to get away from it all this is the place. Maybe more mention should be made about the roughness of the approach from the road to the cottage.
