About this property
Enjoying a wonderful position within the famous Dales village of Arncliffe with picturesque countryside views of the surrounding National Park is this quaint, stone-built dwelling, Croft Cottage. This romantic hideaway is ideally positioned within the village made famous by Emmerdale and for exploring the rolling countryside, offering a magnitude of opportunities for walking and cycling. Step into the characterful sitting room, where the exposed beams frame the plush L-shape sofa and the charming exposed stone fireplace with a flame effect electric fire offering a gentle warmth as you get cosy during a winter’s evening. Joining this space is a dining area, offering a space for tucking into a home-cooked meal or planning the next day’s hike with a glass of wine in hand.
The contemporary kitchen invites you in to pack up a picnic or rustle up a tasty treat after an action-packed afternoon. If the weather is on your side, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining within the rear patio garden, whilst admiring the beauty of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales National Park. Once the sun has set, retire to the plush bedroom, where you will find a super-king-size bed, as well as a dressing table, allowing you to prepare for your day in style. If you can bring yourself to leave this hideaway, head to the famous Falcon Inn, which doubles up as the original Woolpack in Emmerdale Farm and offers a delicious dining menu for you and your partner to enjoy.
Here, you will be spoilt for choice by the walking and cycling opportunities that await you amidst the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The walks to Malham and Kettlewell are highly recommended, as well as visiting nearby Grassington and the ever popular Skipton to find the ancient charm of the castle and an award-wining high street with shops, pubs and eateries. Croft Cottage is a wonderful retreat for a getaway with your loved one.
Arncliffe is a small village resting within the civil parish of Littondale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, just 10.5 miles away from Skipton.

Cleanliness is exceptional and everything you need is provided. The weather was cold and wet but we were warm and cosy and the wood burner just adds extra warmth and a lovely glow to the lounge. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

Beautiful scenery and picturesque towns and hamlets surround the location. Quality fixtures and fittings abound and I particularly enjoyed the king sized bed. The only improvements relate to information on how to use the tv system, the heating and precise parking locations near the cottage.

Croft Cottage had been on our "must do" list for a long while and it fully lived up to our expectations. Owners are very friendly and helpful and obviously take great pride in their rental property. It is very well equipped with all that one could require and sitting outside with a cuppa on a sunny day (we had 3!!) was a joy. Croft Cottage is certainly a property to recommend without reservation. The eating out tip for The Queens Arms in nearby Litton was very worthwhile - the best pub food we have had in a very long time!? Apart from at home(had to say this as my wife will read it!), the roast beef Sunday lunch is probably the best ever! B&A C
