About this property
A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle. A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming multi fuel stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm. Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby. Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk! A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
Horton-in-Ribblesdale sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and has a lovely Norman church and two pubs. The surrounding countryside is magnificent, offering the ideal location for fell walking, with the famous Three Peaks Walk, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough offering some of the most challenging walks in the country.

Lovely garden that the dogs enjoyed. Very comfortable bed and cottage nice and warm. Some great walks from the cottage and a short drive away. Loved the Prosecco and homemade flapjack. Appreciated the milk and dog treats. Would stay again and recommend to friends.

The homemade flapjack was delicious and the fizz went down well as welcome gifts The addition of the dog bowl, treats and even a towel for the dog was a lovely touch. The brook at the bottom of the garden you could hear laying in bed at night, so if you want a place to relax and de-stress this place is for you. It is a walking area but even if you don't hike this is a lovely base to explore the dales as we did. 10/10 Will definitely be returning
