About this property

Nestled in the heart of the charming market town of Bedale in North Yorkshire is Firkin Cottage. This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a fantastic location, just paces away from the town’s amenities and the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park, as well as a welcoming interior with two well-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for small families, friends or even couples looking to explore the wonders of North Yorkshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen, where you can rustle up tasty meals that the whole family can enjoy around the spacious dining table. A wonderful place to raise a toast to your getaway and reminisce on the memories you have created before stepping into the sitting room, sinking into the plush sofa, and flicking on the Smart TV, an idyllic end to a day full of exploration. When the evening draws to a close, head to the first floor to wash off the day’s adventures in the bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either the double or twin bedroom. Firkin Cottage lies steps away from local convenience stores where you can stock up on essentials for your self-catered stay and the Three Coopers, a characterful pub which serves delicious pub fare and a variety of drinks, ideal for when you fancy a break from the kitchen. The town also boasts its own golf club and museum where you can immerse yourself in the area’s history; continue the historic excursion at Marmion Tower, the breath-taking, riverside ruins of Fountains Abbey, Middleham Castle or the impressive Richmond Castle which are all woven throughout the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, take a short, scenic drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park which is bursting at the seams with an abundance of walks and trails offering beautiful panoramas across the English countryside and attractions including the family-friendly Forbidden Corner, Kinsley Park, Ingleborough Cave, and the iconic Gordale Scar. Lightwater Valley theme park also lies nearby providing a day of endless fun for the whole family! All this and more awaits at Firkin Cottage!

Bedale, a small market town, has a rich history that can be explored in the town's museum. There is a weekly market every Tuesday, beautiful churches, a variety of artisan and antique shops (including the famous Red House), tasty restaurants serving regional cuisine, and pleasant pubs serving up regional beers and home-cooked meals. In this picturesque region, walkers of all skill levels can enjoy the area's natural beauty and charming small towns. Jervaulx Abbey, with its tearooms and Brymor Ice Cream, is only a short drive away, and the Constable Burton Hall Gardens, with their large parkland and forest trails, are also easily accessible. Thorp Perrow Arboretum is a great place to visit if you're a gardener; it features a falconry show and is located near Middleham, where you can also explore the fantastic Forbidden Corner. Wensleydale, Swaledale, and Wharfedale are all within easy driving distance, and the enchanting city of York is also within driving distance.
