With the market town of Leyburn within easy reach, this is an ideal Newbiggin cottage for family and friends to enjoy a break in the country.
The village of Newbiggin nestles close to the valley floor on the south side of Bishopdale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Although Newbiggin means 'New Buildings', the term is relative since here are some of the finest examples of 17th century dwellings in the Dales. This pretty and ancient village in the heart of Wensleydale is situated in truly beautiful countryside, with old stone cottages set out in a long line through a minor road that wends its way through the village. This is a walker's paradise, with wonderful countryside, magnificent views and the Cauldron Falls still delighting visitors. The local pub is set on the outskirts of the village and serves fine ales and excellent homemade cuisine. There is also an excellent range of amenities in the nearby market towns of Hawes and Leyburn.

It was spotless and had everything we needed for our four day stay. The Rayburn heated the cottage, as well as our sausage rolls, really efficiently and made it very cosy. It was lovely to come back to after a day out in the dales. The beds were super comfortable and the two en-suites meant our party each had their own bathroom. I rang the owner for key collection and she was super helpful, giving me all the information I needed for our stay regarding recycling etc. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the dales.

It is in a beautiful setting on a quiet road and for us importantly has an EV charger. Any future visit to the Yorkshire Dales we will aim to stay here.
