St Edmunds House, Yorkshire

St Edmunds House sits in a peaceful courtyard in Crakehall village, lower Yorkshire Dales. This spacious stone cottage sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and offers the perfect mix of traditional Yorkshire charm with modern comforts. The property cleverly combines stylish fixtures with exposed stone walls and rustic wooden beams - though tall folks beware of the low beams in two bedrooms (nothing ruins a romantic weekend like a concussion).

Crakehall itself is split by Bedale Beck, a tributary of the River Swale, creating Little and Great Crakehall. The village is known for its attractive stone buildings and well-kept gardens. You'll find a pub just 0.2 miles away - close enough to crawl home after one too many Yorkshire ales. The private patio with hot tub is perfect for stargazing with a glass of wine while your muscles recover from exploring the Dales.

The accommodation features 2 king-size bedrooms, 1 double and 1 twin room, served by a main bathroom and separate shower room. Downstairs offers a well-equipped kitchen, utility room, dining area and a cosy sitting room with woodburning stove - ideal for those chilly Yorkshire evenings. Modern amenities include 3 Smart TVs, WiFi, dishwasher and washing facilities.

Nearby attractions include Fountains Abbey (25 miles, 40 minutes), the quirky Forbidden Corner (9 miles, 20 minutes), Constable Burton Hall Gardens (3 miles, 7 minutes) and Richmond with its impressive castle ruins (12 miles, 25 minutes). The Wensleydale railway line offers scenic journeys through stunning landscapes.

St Edmunds House is ideal for family gatherings or friend reunions. With its mix of period features, modern comforts and that relaxing hot tub, this Yorkshire retreat ticks all the boxes.
