About this property
Squirrel is a delightful studio-style cabin perched on a working rare breeds farm in Kildwick, near Cross Hills in North Yorkshire. Squirrel enjoys an idyllic location with rural, wildlife-rich surroundings, and easy access to the popular destinations of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland AONB. Step into the charming open-plan living space, where you can look forward to evenings cosied up on the sofa in front of your favourite film on the TV. When dinner calls, rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, or make dinner an alfresco affair out on the private decking where you can fire up the barbecue and soak up the breath-taking views over the valley and canal. As your eyes grow heavy, retire to the double bed to catch your rest in ahead of a day of exploring your exceptional surroundings. In the morning, wake-up tired eyes with a refreshing rinse in the shower, as you prepare for the day in style over a steaming cup of coffee. For a memorable romantic stay in the Yorkshire Dales, be sure to choose Squirrel as your home-from-home. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 978909, 1094775, 1094777, 1094779, together sleeping up to 15 guests.
For those looking to get away from it all yet still be close enough to the bustling city of Leeds and Haworth, Cross Hills is the place to be. Shopping, dining, and a variety of small businesses abound in the village's bustling centre, which is home to a variety of locals' favourite spots. Skipton, located a little further out, is known as the "Gateway to the Dales,". The town of Keighley, which was made famous by the 1970s film "The Railway Children," is located in the opposite direction. Haworth, the literary hotspot and birthplace of the Brontë sisters, and the surrounding moorland that inspired their works are also easily accessible.

Sorry for the slow feedback. We staying in your lovely cosy cabin at the start of August with our two Sausage Dogs. We had an amazing 4 nights and we will hopefully be back in the future and will definitely recommend you to friends and family. We were concerned about the slight drop off the decking to the grass as one of our dogs had recently had a back op. Nina was very helpful and put some Sheep hurdles in for us which was great, very much appreciated. Cabin was very clean and tidy and we couldnât think of anything that you guys hadnât thought of. We had to leave on the Thursday but wished we could have stayed for the full week. Great location, really enjoyed staying on a working farm with all the animals. Lovely walk along the canal to the pub. Could go on and on, but thank you so much. Hopefully see you again soon. Love the Coopers.
