Edmunds Cottage, Yorkshire

Edmunds Cottage is a cosy two-bedroom retreat in the quiet village of Crakehall near Bedale in the lower Yorkshire Dales. This characterful cottage sits perfectly between the Yorkshire Dales National Park and North York Moors National Park. Want the best of both worlds? You've got it here. Perfect location for exploring multiple national parks without committing to just one.

The surrounding countryside offers endless walking opportunities. Fancy a pint after your ramble? The local pub is just 0.1 miles away - close enough to crawl back if you've had one too many! The river's less than a mile away for peaceful strolls. No need to drive everywhere - proper countryside living with amenities within reach.

Inside you'll find a spacious lounge with sofas arranged around an electric woodburner and Smart TV. The farm-style kitchen comes fully equipped with all modern appliances including dishwasher (because who wants to wash up on holiday?). Upstairs features a master bedroom with exposed beams and Smart TV, plus a second bedroom that's ideal after a day of adventures. The bathroom includes bath with shower over.

Visit Constable Burton Hall Gardens (extensive parkland), Jervaulx Abbey with its tearooms, Thorp Perrow Arboretum (with falconry displays), or The Forbidden Corner near Middleham (15 miles, 25 minutes). Perfect base for exploring Wensleydale, Swaledale, Wharfedale and even York.

Edmunds Cottage gives you countryside comfort with modern touches. The private hot tub in the secluded garden is perfect for stargazing with a glass of wine. Just don't drop your glass when you see a shooting star!
