About this property

Silsden 2 miles. A cosy stone-built, 16th century, mid-terrace farmhouse offering two delightful bedrooms, shower room and ground floor basin and WC. There is a separate stylish and modern kitchen and the sitting room has a dining area with a woodburner in an inglenook fireplace. This stylish cottage provides the perfect base for couples and small families to get away from it all and enjoy the great outdoors. Note: This cottage is next door to Ref. 915699, together they sleep 8.

The pretty town of Silsden, set on the edge of the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, commands sweeping views of the River Aire and its valley, and has a thriving community with local amenities. Although Silsden was originally an agricultural town, the construction of the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal meant that it later became an important centre for the mill industry, however the local economy is now largely supported by tourism, and it has become a perfect place to stay and explore the local area. Down the Aire Valley lies historic Skipton, known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, a quaint market town boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2008, the Academy of Urbanism voted the high street as the best shopping spot in Britain, and the Copper Dragon Brewery, opened in 2002, is highly rated in the camra listings.

    We have now visited twice, and found the hosts to be generous and helpful, making sure that all we needed was made available in a very timely manner. I would recommend this cottage for anyone able bodied.

    Lovely cottage, beautiful setting & great walks.

  • Edward

    Lounge and bedrooms comfortable. Bathroom and downstairs toilet small but well equipped. My wife is disabled with nurses back, but could manage one return trip per day up the stairs, which worked well - she found the turn at the top of the stairs difficult for her due to only one handrail (standard arrangement). I found no problem.
