Holiday cottage in Cowling, North Yorkshire - Sleeps 4 (FCH85669)

Located right on the Pennine Way, this fantastic cottage is a true walker's sanctuary in the awe-inspiring North Yorkshire countryside. Ardent fields filled with bleating sheep surround this elevated cottage, allowing you to slowly wake up to the sights and sounds of the countryside each peaceful morning.

Hosting four guests with two zip-and-link bedrooms, the property is utterly versatile and invites groups of friends, families or couples to feel right at home. It's just half a mile from the village of Cowling, a chocolate box destination with country pubs to dip into at the end of any circular walk in the stunning countryside that surrounds it.

Every care has been taken to make this two-storey cottage into a comforting haven, complete with a wood burner for cosy, cold-weather stays and bi-fold doors out into the capacious garden for the summer. The garden consists of a patio with a BBQ, a pizza oven and outdoor seating, as well as a grassy space for children to play.

Inside, put your feet up in the lounge/kitchen/diner with soft seating and quality appliances for rustling up tasty meals. Both bedrooms are equally attractive on the first floor, one king-size and one twin, each with its own en-suite and fantastic views from the windows. A multitude of splendid tourist destinations are located close to here, including the hilly village of Haworth (7.

5 miles) that's alive with literary heritage. Home to the Bronte sisters, this locale is a must-visit. You can visit the sisters' original home, now a fascinating museum, or take circular walks out into the countryside, heading towards the Bronte Waterfall (8 miles) to take in the inspiration for so many classic novels.

In the opposite direction, visit Skipton (7 miles), a market town hailed as the ‘Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales', offering canal boat trips, a historic castle and an abundance of shops and restaurants.
