North Yorkshire Holiday Cottages

The former Blacksmith's Shop, which had remained untouched for almost two hundred years, is now a stylish, duplex studio unit, with a small conservatory and private raised garden area. Cosy, modern base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales. The Brewhouse was derelict until its conversion, in the late 1990's, into a stunning detached property, overlooking a private paddock and Crakehall Beck.  The views from it are open and unspoilt and the interior is spacious and quirky.  It has been variously described as...."an inspired conversion..furnished and fitted with flair and imagination" and "..a wonderful place for a honeymoon", and "...fabulous week! ..cottage just what we wanted and in wonderful setting" Malt Shovel House is a gem.  Large enough for large groups to enjoy space and privacy but always warm and welcoming.  In a prime location in a beautiful Yorkshire village, yet within minutes walk or drive of many local amenities.  A perfect hide-away.

 

Crakehall...

Crakehall is the quintessential Dales village with its large green and cricket ground, overlooked by the impressive hall. It has its own church, pub, shop, and garage, and is the perfect gateway to North Yorkshire and beyond. The bustling market town of Bedale is only 2 miles away.

It is at the gateway to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, and is surrounded by stunning, un-spoilt countryside.

The village is used for many local events, including the Spring Maypole dancing and the annual “Emmerdale” charity Cricket match (featuring stars of the eponymous television series).

A huge annual bonfire is held in the grounds of Bedale Hall and the new Wensleydale train service (sometimes featuring Thomas the Tank Engine) now runs from the old station in the town. Locally, there are many more visitor attractions. Far too many to see in one visit!

It is within easy reach of the A1 motorway, and is convenient for exploring the North’s many other attractions, such as York, Durham, or even the coast at Whitby or Scarborough.
