    “We had a lovely short break at this cosy, well-equipped cottage.”

    There was a super welcome pack and lots of towels were provided. It was good to have soap dispensers in the kitchen and bathroom. The cooker, hob, microwave and large fridge freezer were all modern and efficient. The beds were comfortable and having Sky TV was a bonus. Although there are steps to access the property, our elderly, infirm dog managed by accessing the cottage by the drive at the side.

    There was a super welcome pack and lots of towels were provided. It was good to have soap dispensers in the kitchen and bathroom. The cooker, hob, microwave and large fridge freezer were all modern and efficient. The beds were comfortable and having Sky TV was a bonus. Although there are steps to access the property, our elderly, infirm dog managed by accessing the cottage by the drive at the side. The situation of the cottage was ideal for visiting nearby attractions as well as for dog walking. We would definitely stay in the cottage again.

The property

Leyburn 3.5 miles.

Located in Preston under Scar near the amenities of Leyburn in North Yorkshire is Sunshine Cottage, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling.

Enjoying a stylish, open-plan living space, an enclosed garden with a private driveway, and a prime position near the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Sunshine Cottage makes the ideal base for a countryside escape, for couples, friends or families and their four-legged companion.

Park up on the driveway or to the roadside, before ascending the steps and reaching the light-flooded living space.

Be welcomed into the contemporary sitting area, with plush seating to relax upon with the Smart TV with Sky Glass on in the backdrop.

Continue through to the well-equipped kitchen, complete with state-of-the-art appliances, where you can rustle up tasty dishes to enjoy around the table for four.

For some peace and quiet or to box off any work, climb the spiral staircase to locate the snug/study, also featuring a handy sofa bed.

As the night unfolds, venture out to the enclosed patio, offering the ideal place to watch the sun set and enjoy a glass of wine or two.

Return indoors to catch some rest in either of the bedrooms, which can be set up as doubles or twins, both well-appointed and serviced by a sleek shower room.

Prepare for your coming days before kickstarting your itinerary, with hikes to Wensley Waterfall and Harmby Waterfall, before following the tunnels and chambers through The Forbidden Corner, ending in it's pretty 4-acre garden.

Traverse into the national park to visit the breath-taking landscapes of Aysgarth Falls and Cauldron Falls, whilst the Dales Countryside Museum is the ideal place to brush up on your local knowledge.

The market town of Richmond is within driving distance, also home to an immersive museum, the Richmond Falls, and the remains of Richmond Castle, recommended to tour for an activity steep in history.

Round off your break by travelling through the Nidderdale AONB, visiting the Nidderdale Museum, and hiking up to the Brimham Rocks, following the many nature-filled walking trails in the area.
