About this property
The Roost - Askrigg 18th Century Cottage
Nestling in the heart of the popular pretty village of Askrigg (or more famously 'Darrowby' for those that remember the original All Creatures Great & Small), situated on a quiet side road overlooking St Oswald’s Church, our delightful town cottage, dating back to the 1750s, is packed with charm, character, sleeps 4 and has everything you could need for your Yorkshire Dales holiday. After a day exploring the Dales there really is nowhere better to come home to roost. With a wonderful village Deli, handy village shop and 3 great pubs all within a couple of minutes' walk, this really is a great escape from it all.
Our gorgeous cottage sleeps up to 4 people and comprises the following:-
Entrance porch: with hanging space for coats.
Lounge/dining room: Packed with character, boasting original beamed ceiling and beams from ceiling to floor, original stone shelves and cupboards, wood burning stove, plenty of hanging space for coats, hats, boots and wellies, Smart TV with Freeview Play, DVD player, sound bar with sub woofer and blue tooth speaker, comfy sofas and dining table.
Kitchen: our fully equipped kitchen has an electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with icebox.
First floor:-
Bedroom 1: With double bed, hairdryer and Bluetooth wireless playback alarm clock radio with dual USB charging points. View to the front towards the Churchyard.
Bedroom 2: With twin beds, hairdryer and Bluetooth wireless playback alarm clock radio with dual USB charging points. View to the front towards the Churchyard.
Bathroom: with bath, separate shower cubicle with new Mira shower boasting adjustable flow, W.C. and wash hand basin.
Bed linen and towels are provided and included in our prices.
Please note that due to the age and character of our cottage, the ceilings are low.
Outside
To the rear of the property is a shared yard area. To the front there is a bench (ideal for those who like to people watch or talk to locals and holiday makers on their way to the waterfalls). NB There is no outside space at The Roost, we are a town cottage in the centre of Askrigg and we have no garden.
As with most properties in Askrigg, there is no designated parking at The Roost. Free parking is available throughout the village on a first come first serve basis.
We regret we are unable to accept pets.
Short breaks are available during off peak times.

About the host
Hosted by Ruth and Stuart
Married since 2001 we were lucky enough to become custodians of this wonderful cottage in October 2016. Having been visiting the area for a long time, with family owning properties in the nearby village of Redmire, buying The Roost just felt right. Stuart is an ex-soldier, now working in software, and Ruth runs her own virtual business, so with both working in the world of technology it became increasingly important to escape the hectic pace of working life and just sit back from time to time, to re-charge and re-discover what it's all about. There are few places better to do that than the Yorkshire Dales and the opportunity of having our own little part of that was a dream come true. We have tried to make The Roost as comfortable as possible and want our guests to be able to unwind and recharge the same as us - we all deserve great holidays!
Why they chose this property
Completely refurbished in 2017 and with the installation of central heating our wonderful cottage boasts a wealth of original features combined with all the modern comforts of home so you really do have the best of both worlds. Set in the heart of peaceful Askrigg surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales National Park its the ideal base for exploring, or just for relaxing and taking time out.
What makes this property unique
There are very few straight edges in our wonderful 18th Century Cottage, with over 2 ft thick walls and exposed beams throughout, The Roost is everything you would expect a cottage from 1750 to be with the added bonus of all the comforts and luxuries of home. You really feel like you are staying in a piece of history which is much loved and cared for and will be for years to come.
