The Haven

Wonderfully cosy two-bedroomed cottage

As its name implies, the Haven is a lovely cottage to retreat to after a day's strenuous hiking over the beautiful nearby hills and moors. Recently modernised, but retaining lovely 200 year old Swaledale architectural features such as beamed and boarded ceilings and stone flagged floors, the Haven is wonderfully comfortable and welcoming. An unspoilt character Dales cottage, it nevertheless benefits from modern conveniences such as underfloor heating and a log-burning stove. With two private gardens, you can catch the sun at any time of day, or snuggle up inside and relax amid the wonderful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales!

Up to two well-behaved dogs welcome.

Sorry, no smoking.

Week bookings at the Haven run from Saturday to Saturday (reserve online or telephone 01748 886366).  

Short breaks are available (see FAQs) - please call to book a short break.
