About this property
Skipton 1.8 miles. Katie's Cottage is a delightful, stone-built cottage that can be found burrowed in the charming village of Embsay. Beautifully renovated whilst maintaining character through its original exposed beams and traditional woodburning stove, this cottage offers an idyllic romantic retreat for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Step inside the open-plan living area and instantly feel the warm and welcoming ambiance as you fall into the plush leather sofas around the woodburning stove, turning on the flat-screen TV in search of an entertaining movie to enjoy on a quiet night indoors. Wander over to the pretty country kitchen where you can grab ingredients from the fridge as you work as a team to prepare a mouth-watering feast, making use of the handy appliances and utensils. Raise a glass to quality time in the countryside as you delight in your magnificent meal, all whilst mapping out your plans for the action-packed days to come. As the evening draws to a close, pick yourself up from the sofa and climb the staircase to the first floor where you will be greeted into a homey super-king-size bedroom benefiting from a stylish en-suite bathroom, perfect for indulging in a relaxing soak in the tub at the end of an exciting day. Outside your cottage, discover a lovely patio area to sit out and enjoy lunch alfresco-style as you bask in the warm summer sunshine. Embark on one of the outstanding scenic walks lying right on your doorstep, including the popular stroll down to the nearby reservoir before moving on to the Embsay Cragg. Spend your evenings wining and dining in the local pub sitting just a short walk away, where you can devour some tasty pub grub before washing it all down with a quirky real ale from the wide selection available. Explore the great outdoors with a hike through the Yorkshire Dales or Forrest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, before visiting the market town of Skipton or the popular Wharfedale villages of Bolton Abbey. The well-loved village of Malham and its dramatic cove can be found just a scenic drive away, and Harrogate, York and Bronte Country are also nearby. Katie's Cottage makes a fabulous setting for a couples retreat to the magnificent Yorkshire countryside.

We have stayed in this property previously. We thought the cleanliness was outstanding couldn't fault that at all. We do feel that the cottage could do with a new sofa, as we thought this had lost all support and was difficult to get out of. Having said this we would book again for this cottage because it is very well kept and very clean. Central for all areas around that part of the dales.

Ideal for two people. There was everything in the cottage to make your stay comfortable but not cluttered.The location of the cottage was superb. Beautiful scenery and plenty of places to visit. Two very good pubs on the doorstep which served good food. Local people were very friendly and helpful. Would love to return especially when the steam train is running. Jennifer Clelland

Excellent location for exploring the whole area, the village Post Office is 3 mins and a pub is 1 min walk away. The pub is very nice with a good selection of food and beers. The cottage is in very good condition and is a credit to Claire the owner, it has it's own parking place which is always a bonus. We had the log fire going for a couple of nights which was really nice. The really large King bed upstairs was massive and really comfortable, in fact as good as ours at home and I couldn't fault the immaculate bathroom. It was our first time in the area but I have no hesitation in recommending this great/lovely cottage and will be back. Thank you Claire
