KingThe Old Stable nestles in a splendid, elevated position with sweeping views across the Yorkshire Dales in the tiny hamlet of Crackpot. This cosy rustic cottage with original beams, roaring wood-burner and a welcoming atmosphere along with a pretty garden, parking, views and wonderful walks right from your door. Perfect for couples or a small group of friends, you can even bring your four-legged companion too.
The Old Stable blends original character with homely comfort. The compact kitchen has French doors opening onto a patio facing the garden, while the sitting-room is just the place for relaxing by the fire after a day out exploring. The TV has Netflix, iPlayer, and there are shelves of books, maps and local information for you to enjoy. Natural daylight fills the cottage, and every window frames a lovely countryside view. Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms where you can unwind and relax and then, in the morning, awake from a comfy slumber to a beautiful view from your bedroom. Even the spacious walk-in shower room offers a gorgeous view down the Dale.
Outside, steps lead down to a terrace where a table invites you to sit awhile and ponder your day's adventures, perfect for sunny days or balmy evenings. A path, unfenced with a drop, leads to a lower lawned garden surrounded by mature plants, an idyllic place to spend some time listen to birdsong, watch the sheep and watch the ever changing skies. At night it can be just as magical as the owls begin to call and the dark skies fill with a wondrous array of twinkling stars. You never know, you may even be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights
The Old Stable is ideally situated for walkers, hikers, mountain bikers, birdwatchers and anyone who wants to explore the beautiful Dales countryside. The Swale Trail, Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast walks are nearby. You can experience the rich and photogenic heritage of Upper Swaledale with its traditional farm buildings, summer hay meadows, flocks of hardy Swaledale sheep, stunning castles and industrial archaeology. While you will undoubtedly be enchanted by the peacefulness of the place, there are plenty of attractions nearby. The local pub, The Punch Bowl in Low Row, has a welcoming open fire and serves delicious meals. The honeypot village of Gunnerside, a couple of miles away, has a cafe and a friendly community owned pub, The Kings Head, serving good hot and cold food.
A couple of miles further along is the village of Muker which has an annual show, one of many country fairs in this area in the summer, shops selling artisan ware and a cafe. Further afield is Hawes which has lots of local shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and the famous Wensleydale creamery of Wallace and Gromit fame, a must for cheese enthusiasts. The Snaizeholme Valley is close by, where you can watch red squirrels in the wild. Other attractions in the area include the magnificent Aysgarth Falls, Hardraw Force waterfall and historic Castle Bolton, dating back to the 14th Century, which housed Mary Queen of Scots as she journeyed to London to meet her fate. There is something for everyone in the Yorkshire Dales.
