About this property
Perfect for small families, Knight's Rest has been considerately furnished and decorated, creating a lovely cottage with plenty of character and all modern amenities needed for a home from home stay. Located only a short stroll to the impressive medieval Castle Bolton and 15 minutes from the market town of Leyburn, this hideaway is the ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.
This traditional country cottage boasts stunning castle views from the front window, and picturesque rural farmland views to the rear. Situated in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park, this delightful cottage is an ideal base for exploring all that the local area has to offer.
Inside, the very well equipped kitchen overlooks expansive fields where flocks of sheep and lambs graze. The dining space in the kitchen is light and airy, and the sitting room with a warming wood burning stove and Sky TV is a cosy space to return to on a chilly winter's day, ensuring a comfortable visit in any season. Log into the Amazon Dot to play your own music and set the mood. Upstairs, three stylish bedrooms (a king-size and two singles) are beautifully curated for ultimate relaxation after a day spent walking the Dales or sightseeing in the many beautiful towns and villages, such as Leyburn, Hawes, and Aysgarth with famous waterfalls.
The cottage is surrounded by a pretty patio area and benefits from sun throughout the day.

We loved the village of Castle Bolton & the Castle itself. Lots of nice walks or interesting things to see, Aysgarth Falls (although not much water after the heatwaves), Middleham castle, Leyburn & other villages.
