Property code: G0095

Situated in the peaceful village of Little Crakehall close to the market town of Bedale, you can make the most of a tranquil location whilst enjoying the convenience of a welcoming village pub and handy local shop. You are in a prime location to uncover the unrivalled Yorkshire Dales as you explore the gentle countryside by foot or on two wheels. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the picturesque river sitting right next to the cottage or head a little further afield and visit the towns surrounding you. The charming town of Bedale is just 2.5 miles away, while the bustling market town of Leyburn with its Friday market is located 8.5 miles, and Richmond lies 10 miles away.

 

 

The layout of the interior is designed to maximise the picturesque views of the river; therefore, you'll find the lounge on the lower ground level alongside the kitchen and dining area. The lounge area is made up of two comfortable sofas sitting around the traditional wood burner and TV with DVD and Amazon Firestick; creating a cosy space to retreat to with the whole family. The contemporary kitchen is home to everything you'll need to cook up some hearty family meals before enjoying them at the spacious dining table, located in the lounge. Head upstairs to take your pick from three very generous and homely bedrooms. All three bedrooms come complete with their own en-suite, two of which have showers, with the third featuring a bath, perfect for a long candlelit. Step out the patio doors to enjoy the large riverside terrace or the sheltered spot boasting garden furniture, so you can make the most of al fresco dining in your enviable surroundings. Set up shop on the terrace as you enjoy an afternoon riverside with a good book or a cup of Yorkshire tea in hand. Take a little stroll across the private bridge and wander along the banks of the Beck or strike out on a countryside walk across the fields. Off-road parking is included.

Kingfisher gave us a fabulous weekend! We could not have wished for more. Rare to find the luxury of three en-suite bathrooms. Bedrooms comfortable and welcoming. Thank you Lionel for a most interesting tour of Crakehall Mill. The perfect base from which to enjoy the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Wow!! What a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing holiday. Even with a thunderstorm we relaxed in the lounge and looked through the french doors at the trees and the rain. It was mesmerising. In my 73 years of holidays I have never been so relaxed. Thank you Alison and Lionel for the loan of your beautiful cottage. Hopefully we will be back.
