About this property
This stone-built cottage rests in the delightful village of Giggleswick, North Yorkshire. Boasting character features over two floors, Rose Cottage welcomes families and couples looking to escape everyday life and explore the wonders of North Yorkshire. After a day of fell walking, retire to the charming sitting room to catch up on your rest, appointed with plush seating and a cosy woodburning stove which is sure to be used in the winter months. The kitchen is compact but comes well-equipped with all the essentials for home-cooking, including an electric double oven, halogen hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a dishwasher, so you won’t have to raise a finger when cleaning up! Move upstairs and discover the bedrooms; the master houses a king-size bed whilst the second room has a single, each neutrally presented and featuring ample storage, both beds filled with cosy feather duvets. The cottage has no designated parking however there is ample street parking opposite. Get to know the picturesque Dales village of Giggleswick, home to two fantastic pubs where you can refuel with a pint and pie, or head to Settle to find the nearest convenience store if you fancy cooking yourself. With a myriad of paths, lanes and bridleways from the doorstep, guests can experience walking and cycling through some of the most scenic countryside in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst for the more experienced and energetic guests there is plenty of the famous Three Peaks challenge. Other attractions in the area include the wonderful Falconry Centre and the stunning Carlisle Railway line, recognised as being one of the most scenic railway routes in Britain. Rose Cottage is a welcoming escape, whatever time of year.
This charming Ribblesdale village is located just across the river from the vibrant market town of Settle and beneath a limestone scar that is a component of the Craven fault. The 'date stones' over their doorways will indicate that many of the robust homes and cottages in this extremely picturesque location date to the 17th century. The picturesque St. Alkelda's church, which dates to the 12th century, and the iconic domed chapel of the illustrious Giggleswick School, which dominates the local skyline, remain the focal points of the village today. There are two pubs in Giggleswick, and Settle, a small market town, is close by and offers a wide range of services. The village of Ingleton is further away and has a beautiful waterfall trek, and the Three Peaks are nearby (for serious walkers, of course).

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms that are warm, with cozy beds and a bathroom with shower. Downstairs is a well equipped kitchen. The living room is large with a wood burning stove, you are asked to remove your shoes at the door, the floors are however stone meaning your feet freeze, if we had been advised about this we could have brought house shoes or slippers. I donât believe anyone had been into the cottage in a while, a large pile of mail at the back door, no starter kit for the fire, and no welcome package. Conclusion ; missing a pair of kitchen scissors, a larger saucepan, mirror in the bedroom, Instructions on how to use things, a warmer throw for watching tv, and Rugs for the stone floor. Best thing was sharing the home with the very friendly ghosts. Parking is a problem, but thatâs true of the whole village. Would recommend this cottage but minor improvements would be greatly appreciated.

The stove was used in the evenings to dry out wet boots and clothing. The bathroom was well finished and decorated. The area was nice and quiet and perfect for checking out the Three Peaks area, with two lovely local pubs. All I would mention is that on road parking was not feasible during the New Year period. I was fortunate to park at the side two days and then reverse round the back near the school gate. A designated parking spot when the cottage is in use round the back would be a big bonus. Maybe out of holiday season this is not such an issue. Also, maybe a 'mind your head' sign by the front door as we both banged out heads. But this is minor, the cottage is beautiful and is well recommended.

Log burner and location a bonus. Great range of walks. We struggled to get the TV to work - could have done with instructions. Similarly with the heating.
