The Cottage at Wilson House

Couples after a quiet break and small groups of friends will find The Cottage at Wilson House works well. Two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, sit on the ground floor. Upstairs is a single open-plan living space with kitchen, dining area and lounge, where a woodburner provides warmth on cooler evenings. Everything essential—heating, electricity, wifi, bed linen and towels—is covered, and there's a washing machine and tumble dryer in a separate outbuilding.

The real draw is outside. A private hot tub sits in an enclosed garden with seating and a barbecue. Parking for three cars is on site. For those who want to move about, the surrounding countryside has public footpaths and cycleways threading through moorland, woodland and river valleys; the Yorkshire Dales are within reasonable distance. Inside, the cottage has character without pretence, with sofas to sink into and a kitchen properly equipped for cooking. Smoking is not permitted, and the property is not suitable for children under 12.
