Few places in the UK offer better than a cottage holiday in the Yorkshire Dales.
The incredibly diverse environments across the Yorkshire Dales never ceases to amaze me, even after living here for nearly 30 years. Almost any decent car journey through the Dales will take you from the remote high fells, with windswept moors and rocky profile to the lush and rolling valleys below which takes my breath away every time. The famous market towns and larger villages have a homely, welcoming feel and many of the facilities you would find in a modern metropolitan centre, and yet just a few miles down the road you can find yourself in a hideaway village feeling a million miles away from civilisation in your own piece of Yorkshire countryside.
The variety of holiday cottages you can stay in is also hugely diverse and offers everything from cosy cottages in the Dales villages to large and luxurious properties for group or family holidays, often with superb facilities such as games rooms or even swimming pools. The standard of cottage holidays in the Yorkshire dales is also high, with the market being pretty competitive most owners make great effort that prospective visitors have the welcome and facilities they need.
The town of Skipton, “The Gateway to the Dales” can provide an excellent base for exploring the area and although a larger centre is a popular tourist draw with the regular market (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and Castle. The museum based in the town hall is also well worth a look and often overlooked by visitors due to the crafts market often held in the hall.
Cottage holidays tend to be based in the villages outside of the town which give the best of both worlds being close to amenities and attractions and also getting away from it all in an idyllic dales village. These offer easy access to the variety of walking and climbing in the area and offer a good proximity to the more accessible southern dales.
In the area there can be found a number of farm shops and markets with fresh local produce and you can easily find everything you need to cook back at your cottage. For those not wanting to toil over a hot stove whilst on holiday there are a wide range of restaurants in the area from award winning Michelin starred establishments to the plain mediocre, but most pubs tend to offer decent fare at reasonable prices and many offer early bird or other deals especially out of peak season.
Visiting the region of Yorkshire Dales for the holiday can be the perfect getaway for you and your family. If you are from outside of the UK, Yorkshire Dales will provide you with the perfect atmosphere to relax and explore a new country. If you are from within the UK, that relaxation will not be diminished.
The region is set apart from everything, from town and villages to getting out into the countryside. Especially in the cottages that you can rent, so you can feel like you are hundreds of miles from home. This sort of disconnection, entering into a new world for the time that you live in the holiday cottage, will let you recharge and feel happier about life in general.
For an example of the holiday cottages Yorshire Dales has to offer, you can take a look at Bracken Cottage. This is a cottage that offers privacy and separation, while at the same time keeping you close enough to the towns that you can find fun and entertainment. The cottage itself is made with a beamed construction that is of the best modern quality despite its Old-World look; it has stone walls and you will find the overall look of the holiday cottage to be very charming.
The Dales National Park is a beautiful area of natural countryside where you can go hiking and experience the open air. The area is known for the racehorses that have been trained there, and you can watch these horse in action as they run across the open land.
For a second example of the excellent holiday cottages in Yorkshire, you can look to Corner Cottage. This small stone building only sleeps two, but it can be a perfect holiday escape — this is why holidays in Yorkshire cottages are so alluring; they allow you to have a quaint home away from home that will make the holiday very memorable. The town of Hawes is only four miles away, and provides many attractions. These include the Dales Centre Museum and the Hawes Creamery.
