About this property

This fine cottage is on the edge of the village of Burnsall, arguably the prettiest village in Wharfedale. It enjoys views of the adjacent beck and fell beyond and is perfectly situated for exploring the Dales and their many attractions.

Fell Beck is perfectly located in the village of Burnsall, arguably the prettiest village in Wharfedale. The cottage nestles at the edge of the village and enjoys dual aspect views of the adjacent beck and fell beyond and the village green with its handsome 16th century stone bridge straddling the River Wharfe. The river shallows and widens here and, in Summer, is a tempting place for a cooling paddle after a day's walking.

There is a small paved sitting out area at the front of the cottage with garden furniture where you can enjoy breakfast in the sun while listening to the babbling beck in front of you and gazing at the sheep on the fell beyond.

Enjoy the large village green with its maypole and, next to the bridge, is the famous Red Lion pub, which offers a fantastic pint by the river and extremely good food, largely locally produced.

The village also boasts the ancient St Wilfred's church, a 16th century primary school and, unusually nowadays, a village shop and extremely good tea room. The village is on the Dales Way and there are many lovely walks from the doorstep, including river walks in both directions to Grassington via Hebden or to Appletreewick, which has two pubs to choose from.

Additional Information:

Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).

An infant is welcome. A travel cot, high chair and stair gate are available on request.

Guests are welcome to park in the garage (suitable for small/medium cars). Otherwise free parking is available along the village green, across the bridge or further up in the village towards the church and paid parking in the car park opposite. On busy days the field next door may also be open for paid parking. Guests are welcome to stop outside to unload but are requested not to park on the patch of grass directly opposite, which belongs to the neighbouring property.

    The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well equipped including excellent wi-fi (though the dryer part of the washer-dryer doesn't work). Burnsall is normally a delightful and tranquil location, its inhabitants are friendly and it is a great place from which to explore a beautiful and interesting area. But on hot days the whole of the surrounding area descends on Burnsall and its river and because the cottage is so central you cannot avoid the feeling that your peace has been disrupted. There are cars everywhere and if you look out of the window you can see lots and lots of people. If you open the window you hear lots of noise sometimes quite late into the night. Local volunteers clear up the appalling rubbish people leave behind them. In conclusion this should have been a five star review. But on warm/hot days in summer the cottage doesn't live up to its description as a rural retreat. So best to come in spring or autumn and you will have a wonderful holiday.

    Accommodation and location perfect

    Burnsall is lovely and the only reason we have not awarded the cottage 5 stars is because the cottage could have been cleaner! The oven was not very clean and we didn't think the chair in the bedroom had been moved to clean behind it for a long time! It would also be great if the large number of items stored in the garage could be rearranged as the only reason an average car cannot fit in the garage is because too many items are stored at the end of the garage considerably reducing the space available.
