The historic little market town of Masham is situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday and Saturday market is held. There are lots of walks around the area, including a 10-mile walk along the Ure, arguably one of the best in the UK. The town boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The popular towns of Ripon, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond and Harrogate are an easy drive away. With so much to see and do in the area, this is a great place for a holiday in all seasons

Amie was a very generous host who made us feel most welcome. We were particularly pleased with the size of the cottage and beds, the excellent shower and the dog friendly attitude. Walks on the door step as was the multitude of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see, from the living room, a barn owl hunting. Tawny owls were hooting during our night time walks. I would highly recommend a stay.

The cottage was super comfortable with all amenities perfect! We were warmly greeted by host, Aimee, on arrival & were delighted to find a charming welcome pack not just for ourselves, but for the dogs! Nothing was too much trouble! The Hayloft offers an unparalleled view over the Dales and is a perfect observation post for the plethora of wildlife! Would highly recommend this cottage! We will be returning!
