About this property
A traditional detached cottage in an idyllic hillside position on the outskirts of the delightful village of Burnsall, with uninterrupted views of Burnsall Fell. Originally a farm worker's cottage, the property has been fully renovated to provide warm, cosy accommodation with immense character and charm, retaining many original features such as the stone fireplace, oak beams and mullion windows. The lovely enclosed garden provides an excellent spot for alfresco dining, whilst just a short walk away is an award-winning pub, serving real ales and fabulous food. Enjoy good walking and cycling from the doorstep, or explore Bolton Abbey and the infamous Strid, a notorious stretch of deep water where the River Wharfe is forced into a deep, thundering channel. The elegant market town of Grassington, with its cobbled square littered with local shops, pubs and cafes is just 5 miles away, making this an ideal location, to be enjoyed whatever the time of year.
Situated in Wharfedale, the village of Burnsall is set on a bend in the River Wharfe and is perfectly framed by the dramatic backdrop of Burnsall Fell. Full of traditional constructions, the 12th Century church is thought to be the oldest building in the village whilst the school is one of the oldest in the country. Burnsall's most famous feature, however, is probably the stone bridge supported by five arches. With a small shop selling sweets and ice-cream as well as a pub and hotel and a tea-room, the village provides most amenities that visitors will need. Nearby Grassington and Skipton offer a wider selection of shops for anything extra visitors may need. The area is the setting for numerous popular cycling trails and bridleways, making this an excellent holiday destination for walkers and those looking to explore this beautiful region.

Despite the less than clement weather (Storm Henk) over the New Year we still got out everyday, with fabulous walking from the door, and the layout of the cottage was perfect for getting off soaking kit and drying Riley the dog in the large utility room before entering the main house; the excellent heating system being perfect for drying everything out ready for the next days adventures. Despite of, or perhaps because of, the very wet weather, it was always a pleasure to return to the cottage in the evening, cook dinner, settle in front of the log burner, and then retire to the very comfortable beds. It would have been lovely to sit outside and enjoy the garden and views, Perfect for a Summers day!

The double bed was particularly comfortable, and overall we had a very good holiday. There were several areas where we felt let down, especially the sofas which were very sagging, tired, low and extremely uncomfortable, that I found them to be unusable and couldn't understand why they are in this cottage. I had a very constructive dialogue with the owner, and understand that several issues will be addressed in due course.

Cottage was basic, and do agree with previous reviews, that the sofas were very shabby and dirty, and should be replaced, to meet Skyeâs cottages standard.
