Situated just off the main square, in the bustling market town of Middleham, in Wensleydale on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is Wedgewood Cottage, a charming mews cottage ideal for a couple or small family wanting to discover the Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale AONB.

Both bedrooms are served by the all-white, tiled family bathroom, with a shower over bath, so you can choose how to prepare for each day.
