On entering Covercote, you’ll be welcomed by two inviting sitting rooms, with Smart TVs and cosy up by the woodburning stoves. If you’re seeking a quiet space to work, there’s a handy study area perfect for getting those tasks done. The farmhouse kitchen/diner is a great spot for entertaining, with ample facilities, a long dining table and the convenience of a utility, you’ll have everything you need to rustle up a delicious meal and catch up on laundry after a day of walking. When it’s time to hit the hay, there are two king-size bedrooms and a twin bedroom to choose from, along with an ideal room for children to enjoy sleepover-style nights, with four singles. To complete the property, there are two bathrooms, both with a bath and a shower so you can soak away the day or quickly freshen up before heading back out.

Once you’re ready to explore, embark on a long walk or a bike ride along the Tour de Yorkshire cycle way that runs adjacent to Covercote, or across the stunning over-the-top hill road through Braidley to Kettlewell. Alternatively, start the day off with a tasty pub lunch at the Thwaite Arms, which is located just a short walk from your front door, or pop into the Foresters Arms in nearby Carlton, which is well-known locally for its good food and drink. After eating, head to Leyburn Shawl, where you will find a spectacular viewpoint overlooking the nearby rolling hills. Discover Harmby or Wensley Waterfall, both providing a tranquil backdrop to your outdoor adventures. Venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where you are sure to uncover a range of exciting attractions, such as The Forbidden Corner and Tupgill Park, as well as a host of spectacular views, including the mighty Aysgarth Falls. The lesser-known gem of Coverdale, a pristine river valley, is home to genuine farming country with racehorses in training and great walks along the moors waiting to be enjoyed. If you feel like going further afield, the villages of Dent and Aysgarth, home to the Aysgarth Falls, as well as the town of Skipton and the spots of Malham Cove, Bolton Castle, The Big Sheep & Little Cow farm, and the Wensleydale Railway are all worth a visit, with an abundance of attractions and activities on offer for the whole family. Whether it’s an adrenaline-filled adventure or a relaxing day of sightseeing, your countryside break in Yorkshire is ready to begin at Covercote.
