About this property
Chapel-le-Dale 1.6 miles. This delightful semi-detached barn conversion is surrounded by its own fields in dramatic open countryside, on the owner's working livestock farm near Chapel-le-Dale. Set in a most enviable location in the valley between Ingleborough and Whernside, this lovely cottage provides an ideal location to get away from it all and unwind with family and friends. Fully renovated, this attractive holiday home enjoys a beautiful hillside location with breathtaking views from every room in the house, including exceptional views of the limestone scarring, so evident in this corner of the Yorkshire Dales. Individually styled to make the very best of the existing features of old beams and exposed stonework, there is also a liberal sprinkling of the modern luxuries, such as underfloor heating, walk-in showers and en-suites to all bedrooms. The ground floor kitchen with dining area is a real delight with great views across the meadows and the grazing stock, plus the odd hen. There is a spacious dining area, a modern well-equipped kitchen and a woodburner. The sitting room has ample seating, a flat screen TV, and is a great place to recover after a testing day out on the Three Peaks Challenge. The first floor boasts two double bedrooms, and a third double-height room with a king-size double bedroom and twin beds on a mezzanine floor, and en-suite with shower and bath. One of the double bedrooms also has a Juliet balcony to enjoy the views towards Ingleborough. The top floor has a spacious family room with four single beds and an en-suite shower, an ideal room for the kids to get together and enjoy a little privacy. Outside this lovely cottage are open fields that belong to the property where you can sit, wander, barbecue or laze by the river that runs through the land; relax with a refreshing drink or dine alfresco. Nearby Ingleton offers an excellent range of amenities, including pubs, shops and restaurants, whilst walkers are spoilt for choice with the excellent network of trails in the area. The famous Settle-Carlisle railway line runs across the nearby Ribblehead Viaduct and there is no greater sight than a steam train powering its way across the landscape. Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale and Skipton are all within a short drive, whilst the Forest of Bowland offers a wide range of unspoilt landscapes and visitor facilities. A great location for family and friends to meet up and enjoy country living at its very best!

It was located in between Ingleborough and Whernside. Clean and comfortable.

The property itself was great, more than enough room to comfortably accommodate us all and we were a group of ten adults. The location is lovely, set in a valley of farmland with fantastic views out of all windows and a perfect base to get out hiking from. Would definitely stay here again.
