Elbeck House

Elbeck House suits couples looking for a quiet break in the Yorkshire Dales. This one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite is yours alone, set down a private road in Litton village. The whole place is open-plan on the ground floor: a living and dining area with a wood-burning stove, a kingsize bedroom, and steps up to the kitchen. The shower room is accessed from the kitchen level. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included, and wi-fi keeps you connected if you need it.

The kitchen is fully fitted for self-catering, with an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge. Outside, there's parking for one car and a bike store. The front garden has seating; the back garden is enclosed and private, with a sitting area and more furniture. Logs for the woodburner can be bought locally. You're in walking country here—the Dales offer miles of trails from the doorstep. Litton village has a pub within easy reach. No smoking is permitted inside.
