About this property

Within the charming village of Threshfield, sat within the wonderful Yorkshire Dales National Park, is this Grade II listed detached cottage, Monks Cottage. Resting within its own grounds behind the Old Hall Inn, a longstanding pub, in the heart of this quaint village, it is suitable for a couple’s break. The history of the property can be traced back to its construction by monks in the 13th century, it is reputedly the oldest habitable building in Upper Wharfdale. Now lovingly renovated to provide beautiful holiday accommodation, the ground floor is set out in an open-plan layout, a great way to enjoy the company of your loved one while you wind down in your own way. Light the woodburning stove, which rests in the inglenook fireplace on a cold evening and relax on the sofa, while your partner begins to prepare the evening meal for a quiet and romantic night in, surrounded by a host of original features including exposed beams, stone flooring and stone walls. Relish in this rustic and traditional environment as you sit at the dining table to eat, afterwards sitting down to plan the rest of your trip. Rest in the king-size bed up in the galleried bedroom on the first floor, with a bathroom located half way up the stairs offering conveniences within this older exterior. Centrally located in this beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, there are superb walks from the doorstep, including a short walk along the river to Linton Falls and the ever popular Grassington with its wide range of shops, pubs and art galleries, as well as the Dickensian Festival, which delights visitors with its traditional Christmas market and entertainment. A beautiful Threshfield holiday cottage, ideal for a romantic break, whatever the time of year.

    Nice enclosed garden, perfect for sitting in the sun with the dog and a good book! Lovely country pub just across the garden, ended up eating with them most evenings and the food was excellent.

    With a little effort, it could be so much more. It felt rather tired & neglected. It was clean & tidy but has many dusty areas, filthy windows & really sad hanging baskets/pots. The photos implied lots of light & pretty flowers. In reality, the cottage needs better lighting and it would be much more attractive if it felt that the crockery matched, was more plentiful & generally a little more generous. Maybe more than one tea towel? It's literally the first cottage we've stayed in that hasn't had a few tea bags & some washing up liquid. That said, the people in the pub were very nice, though I'd recommend booking a table rather than wandering in, hoping for a meal!
