About this property
Guys Cottage has spectacular views of lush rolling landscape in the village of Long Preston in North Yorkshire. This charming property has some great features including a coal barbecue, perfect for those summer nights spent outdoors with the family or friends. A homey cottage set out over two floors with stunning countryside views looking out from the first floor twin bedroom. Head into the modern style kitchen to find all the utensils needed to cook a well deserved meal after a long day exploring. The bathroom sits on the ground floor with beautifully detailed hand drawings featured on the walls. Relax comfortably, on the sofa or armchairs, of an evening and enjoy some TV with the woodburner ablaze. Outside on the patio is the place to soak up the sunshine, enjoy the glorious scenery and plan for the day ahead. Skipton is an 11 mile drive from Long Preston, famous for its market town in the Craven district of North Yorkshire. For those who like art and culture there is the Craven museum and gallery held in the town hall. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the area, not to mention the most delicious fish and chips and delightful tea rooms. The town of Settle is only 3 miles away, and the start of the 3 Peaks walk is only 8 miles away. A truly beautiful location with plenty of enjoyment and adventure in the local area.
Known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, Skipton is well placed for visiting all that the Dales has to offer. This market town has much to interest the enthusiastic visitor, boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. Steam railways with regular excursions are availablel. Golf, swimming, squash, tennis and snooker are all available locally and the excellent public transport means the car can be left at home!

Fantastic views from the rear of the property. We ate out at The Maypole in Long Preston and The Talbot Arms in Settle, both excellent meals. Steep stairs to the first floor might hinder the less mobile. Problem with access to the WiFi was resolved the day after our arrival. There wasn't any welcome pack so we were unsure of what procedures to follow at the end of our stay. As mentioned in previous reviews, the only drawback is that the property is on the busy A65, and despite a 30mph speed limit through the village, no-one seems to adhere to it! I didn't pick up on this as I booked last minute, it might be advisable to make this clearer in the property description.
