Klein aber fein

Sehr gute Lage, perfekter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, hochwertige Ausstattung des Cottages, geschmackvolle Einrichtung passend zur Region, sehr schönes geräumiges Schlafzimmer, Wohnzimmer und Küche auch geräumig, im Bad niedrige Decken und am Waschbecken wenig Licht, Küche tagsüber auch zu dunkel, aber perfekt ausgestattet. Heizung kann man nicht selbst steuern. Bett bequem. Kontakt zum Vermieter sehr nett und sofort hilfsbereit.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Bennett

We have been regular visitors to Askrigg over the years (Sarahs uncle owned a cottage just down the road from Brook Cottage through the 1980-90s). We continued to visit Askrigg as a family until 2022 when we decided to buy Brook Cottage as a base for our family and our guests to explore this beautiful area.

Why they chose this property

Brook Cottage is comfortable and stylish with thoughtful additions such as quality bedding, thick towels, bathrobes and a generous welcome pack. Ideal for a small family holiday, for a trip with friends, or perfect for a romantic retreat for two.

All the furniture has been carefully chosen to ensure a comfortable stay, and the colours throughout are restful shades inspired by nature. There is wi-fi throughout and the cottage also benefits from having a smart TV as well as a Roberts bluetooth speaker to let you enjoy your favourite sounds. In the lounge, the wood burning stove will be ready to light and a generous supply of logs and kindling are provided to ensure you can enjoy cosy evenings by the fire.

The master bedroom has exposed roof timbers and is a spacious and restful room to relax in. The folksy-styled single bedroom has a full sized single bed but does have restricted head-height so please be aware of this if booking this room for a third adult. The bathroom and entrance cloaks area both have custom built cabinetry. The cottage has a recently installed electric heating system to keep you comfortably warm and the shower is powerful and efficient. The kitchen has an electric oven with induction hob and there is also a dishwasher and washing machine.

What makes this property unique

Askrigg is a charming village in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, famous for featuring as Darrowby in the original series of All Creatures Great and Small. The village is ideally placed for walking and has 3 pubs, an excellent cafe, a craft shop, a newsagents/village store and also a small brewery.

The shops and pubs of Askrigg are just a short stroll from the front door, with the market town of Hawes around a 10 minute drive in one direction, with Leyburn around 15 minutes away in the other direction.
