Family Fun

The natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales is a haven for the young, old, and families to explore the great outdoors.

 
Cottage in the Dales are delighted to be awarded the specialist VisitBritain Welcome Schemes accreditation - 'Families Welcome',

  

These schemes were developed with expert advice and support from the Countryside Agency and the Youth Hostel Association. They each give families (along with our other accreditations for walkers and cyclists) the confidence that they are booking quality accommodation that meets their particular needs.

 

We already know from our visitors and the comments left in the guest books that they value the location of our cottages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. West Burton and Newbiggin both give them direct access to a variety of circular walks for both the novice and families with young children to the more challenging heights of the moors straight from the front doors.

 

Here are details of the full facilities that are specifically provide for families at each of our holiday cottages.
