The Sett on the Wharfe

About this property

The Sett on the Wharfe offers a peaceful hideaway in Threshfield, just on the edge of the much-loved village of Grassington, making it a great choice for couples wanting a quiet break with the Yorkshire Dales right outside the door. Set on one level, this charming little lodge keeps things simple and inviting, with everything arranged to create an easy, relaxed retreat. Inside, the studio-style layout gives you a king-size bed to stretch out in, a comfortable sitting area for slow mornings or late-night chats, and a compact kitchenette with the bits you need for putting together breakfasts, light lunches, or a simple supper.

A neatly finished shower room adds all the practical comfort you’ll want after a day exploring the area. Step outside onto the enclosed decked terrace and you’ll find a spot made for taking things steady, perfect for sipping your first cup of the day or enjoying an evening drink while you look out over the peaceful surroundings. With roadside parking nearby and local amenities within walking distance, you’ll find it easy to settle into the rhythm of village life. Threshfield itself sits in a beautiful part of Wharfedale, and a short walk brings you to Grassington, known for its stone cottages, independent shops, friendly pubs, and lively village square.

Scenic riverside walks start practically from the doorstep, with the River Wharfe offering everything from gentle rambles to longer routes through classic Dales scenery. If you fancy exploring a little further, Skipton is easily reached by car and comes with its impressive medieval castle and bustling high street, while Ilkley offers handsome architecture, boutique shopping, and the famous moor. Whether you’re here to walk, unwind, or simply enjoy a change of pace, The Sett on the Wharfe gives you a calm, characterful base for discovering one of Yorkshire’s most scenic and welcoming regions.

Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmer’s market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous “Strid Walk”. A little further is the elegant town of Ilkley, overlooked by the famous Ilkley Moor. Up dale are Kettlewell and Buckden boasting spectacularly beautiful limestone scenery. With many other beauty spots scattered throughout Wharfedale, Grassington provides a great base for exploring the local area and all that the Dales have to offer, with Brontë Country and York also being within easy motoring distance.
