Cowslip Cottage

A gorgeous North Yorkshire hideaway, this enchanting retreat offers stylish accommodation in picturesque surroundings. Sleeping just two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway is situated on an organic farm at Low Row, 14 miles from Richmond, in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park. Step straight out to stroll down to the picturesque River Swale, looking out for wildlife as you go. Pause for a pint at the friendly local pub, 0.5 miles away, or head into Reeth, 4 miles away, with its eateries around the village green. Visit the Swaledale Museum while you are here. Venture into Richmond to wander the cobbled streets, browse in the independent shops and explore the spectacular castle. Amble alongside the river to Easby Abbey, 1 mile away, from the picture-postcard town. Plan a trip to beautiful Aysgarth Falls, 12.5 miles away, which was famously used as a backdrop for scenes from many well-known movies.

Pull up beside this wonderful escape and enter at the side to discover gleaming new accommodation with an impressive finish. Hang your jackets and leave your walking boots in the lovely hall. Enter the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, preparing to be wowed by the double-height, vaulted ceiling and glass wall that floods the space with light and frames the enchanting views. The impressive pendant light fittings here contribute to the chic ambience. Open the glass doors to bring the fresh air in on fine days. Prepare tasty meals for two over in the sleek kitchen area, gazing up at the scenery as you cook. Enjoy your meal at the breakfast bar or dining table, before lighting the wood burner and settling down on the sofa. Pull out the built-in foot rest and share a drink as you watch your favourite film on the Smart TV. When you are ready to stretch out in your sumptuous king-size bed, climb the stairs to the mezzanine level above, where there is a glass balustrade. Awake to glorious views and savour slow mornings in bed, with a TV show on the Smart TV. The en-suite bathroom offers you the choice of a bath or a shower and has a heated towel rail to keep your towels warm.

Carry your morning coffee outside to enjoy in the fresh air, with bench seating set on the stone patio. Take two steps down to have breakfast in the gravel garden as you look out over the meadows. Enjoy eating alfresco as the sun begins to set. This cottage comes with private, off-road parking for two cars.
