Clarksville

Leyburn sits at the threshold of the Yorkshire Dales, with moorland and fell walks beginning at the town's edge. Clarksville occupies a Georgian stone terrace on the Market Place, metres from the high street's shops, cafés and pubs. The town itself draws walkers and cyclists year-round; the surrounding landscape offers everything from established footpaths to remote valleys and the dramatic drops of Aysgarth Falls and Hardraw Force.

The cottage spreads across three floors. Ground floor holds a living and dining room with a Freeview television. Upstairs, the main bedroom has a king bed and shower room; the second floor contains two single beds. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering. An enclosed garden at the rear provides somewhere to sit out of the weather, and there's a bike store for guests planning to cycle the network of routes through the Dales. One well-behaved pet stays free. Essentials including Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen and towels are covered. The property is non-smoking throughout.

Leyburn's weekly farmers market, chocolatier and cluster of restaurants make it easy to eat well without leaving town. Nearby villages such as Middleham, Wensley and Castle Bolton lie within a few miles, each with their own pubs and local character. A free car park sits close by.
