St Margaret’s Church is a beautiful holiday home located just 3 miles from the popular town of Ingleton. The accommodation offers you a high end luxury and alternative stay.
Walking through the church doors you are met with a spacious, cleverly designed, open plan layout. The ground floor offers two seating areas, a well-equipped, modern kitchen, dining area and downstairs shower room. You will notice many of the original features have been kept in the building, from stained glass windows to plaques and beams, simply wonderful. Upstairs follows an unconventional and unique design of glass walls centring the church. There are two en-suite kingsize bedrooms and a further two double bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.
St Margaret’s Church is located just off the main high street in the village, making it an easy walk to access the shops, restaurants and pubs Bentham has to offer. There are some fabulous walks to be enjoyed straight from the front door. If, however, you plan to do some more adventurous hiking, then Ingleton is just 3 miles away and the three peaks of Whernside, Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough, and the Lakeland hills are all easily accessed.
The station opposite the house grants accessibility to all, whether that is to the coast, in to the Yorkshire Dales or to Leeds and Manchester.
There is so much to do in this area from cycling, caving, hiking and golfing! Just 10 miles away in the neighbouring town of Kirkby Lonsdale. This quirky market town is surrounded by historic buildings, many of them hundreds of years old, that line the town’s streets and squares include a range of cafés, pubs, and independent shops, which combine to provide a traditional shopping experience that’s hard to find on the modern British high street.
Whether it’s 4 miles to Ingleton, 10 to Kirby in Lonsdale or 12 to Settle, St Margaret’s Church is the perfect base from which to explore southern and central Cumbria, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Forest of Bowland and Lancashire, with lots to do locally and plenty of excellent days out.

A wonderful converted church retaining many original features. Wonderful location on the edge of the village with plenty of walking opportunities from the doorstep. Shame the tower is out of bounds as I'm sure the views would be amazing.Special thanks to the owner for making last minute minor adjustments for one of the guests who is elderly and has mobility issues.
