Luxurious. Tranquil. Beautiful. Accessible.

Discover the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales based from a luxury 18th century holiday cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Explore the endless beautiful scenery that is 'Distinctly Dales' and the tranquil serenity that is largely untouched by the passage of time.

In this naturally preserved setting, you will find your idyllic multi-award-winning 'Cottage in the Dales', including best self-catering in Yorkshire & England and best inclusive tourism building in England & Wales. These 5 Star Gold cottages are perfect for the discerning visitor requiring both quality & luxury in a rural idyll where original charm & character in these stylish period properties are carefully blended with the facilities of modern life. Each cottage has its own unique appeal- as individual as you.

We are proud to deliver a 'luxury 5star experience, without the inconvenience of other guests'! Just like a top hotel, nothing is too much trouble & no detail overlooked. From a warmly-lit fire & premium toiletries, to the best local produce, electric car charging and accessible & inclusive facilities if you need them. Our aim is to ensure you feel at home, whether you are coming for the first time, or returning for the tenth. We will happily take you to one of our personally recommended pubs or restaurants for that special occasion, even on Christmas Day, or just simply recommend a suitable walk - our pleasure is ensuring yours.

Whether you're looking for a winter warmer weekend away, a mid-week break, a summer holiday, half-term holiday with the children, take a tour of the photos, videos & detailed descriptions of each cottage to decide which cottage to choose, checkout our guest reviews, press coverage and awards, view our availability & prices and book online or via telephone. Then all you have to do is to discover what is 'Distinctly Dales' and the experiences you'd like to explore whilst out and about in the Yorkshire Dales. A holiday here is a pleasure at any time of the year. That's why couples and families return again and again.

What our guests say

"Another fabulous week. Explored a few new walks with the wheelchair/handbike from Debbie North’s book (Walks Without Stiles) and Yorkshire Dales website: (1) Settle Loop - a long & steep uphills round section and the bridal path past Stockdale Farm was too tricky (2) Castle Bolton to Carperby - great path from the car park at Bolton Castle and stunning views (3) Grimwith Reservoir - lovely walk round the reservoir with a few tricky slopes (4) Reeth Moor - a stunning walk past Old Gang Lead Mines. The climb up to Great Pinseat is worth it for the views. Only a few steep sections. Many thanks to Diane and Andrew for being fabulous and helpful hosts. The Dairy cottage is brilliat for wheelchairs! "
