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.

The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the well equipped kitchen was one of the best we have stayed in! The wood burner was put to good use, making the lounge very cosy. A great base for walking and exploring beautiful Wensleydale! There is now WiFi in the house which is a bonus. A big thank you to the owners for all they provide. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We used the cottage as a base for our extended family with a view to visiting relatives living in the area and taking the grandchildren to their favourite fun spots. That said, I could easily have spent the whole stay enjoying the peace and solitude of the cottage and grounds.
