Firstly, enter the hallway with the well-equipped modern kitchen to your left and cloakroom to your right. Straight ahead is the tastefully furnished living/dining room, lovingly decorated and designed with your comfort in mind. Ivy Cottage has very comfortable soft seating in the living room for 4 adults (with other seating options including dining chairs with cushions, tall bar stools and a small soft chair). Why not light the wood burner and get the fire roaring whilst you put the kettle on? The back door off the living room opens into an enclosed south facing courtyard with stunning views onto the hilltops of Wharfedale. Add a little sunshine to the mix and it’s Yorkshire at its best. Upstairs there are three comfortable, good quality bedrooms and a family bathroom. Children are very welcome, but please note there are two tall bar tables with tall stools (one in the kitchen and one in the living room) which may not be suitable for small children.

For those of you who are keen walkers and cyclists, there are a multitude of options available right on your doorstep in just about every direction. There is a fine pub serving food just around the corner from Ivy Cottage, and a village store and pubs which also serve food in nearby Kettlewell. With the likes of Grassington, Skipton and Pateley Bridge all within easy reach, you will be absolutely spoilt for choice on where to explore next. Whether you are choosing Ivy Cottage as a base to explore this stunning region, or simply just to enjoy the immediate area, this is the perfect property for couples, friends and families. There is a local pizzeria just 175 yards away which is open evenings Thur-Sun. Shop 1¾ miles, pub 175 yards and restaurant 9 miles.

Initial supply of logs for the woodburner included, thereafter available locally at cost. There is a step to the entrance.

Parking

Please park on the opposite side of the road to Ivy Cottage. If there is no available parking when you arrive, you are fine to pull up outside the cottage gate to unload, and then use the additional public parking area on the left hand side of the main road as you enter Starbotton from Kettlewell.

Parking is on a first come first serve basis but generally we’ve always been able to park out the front. It would be hugely appreciated if you didn’t park at the bottom of Coates Lane as our elderly neighbour June, at number 1, parks her black VW car there. Thank you.
