April Cottage, Cross Hills

North Yorkshire. Sleeps up to 3

Nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in the village of Cross Hills, is this charming, stone-fronted property, April Cottage. With shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants just paces away, this two-bedroom cottage with a woodburning stove makes a wonderful escape for both families and friends. April Cottage offers two off-road parking spaces to leave your vehicle and a porch to hang your jackets and coats. Discover the sitting room, where you can sink into the couch with a glass of wine in hand and flicker through the wall-mounted TV. Moving through the home, locate the kitchen/diner, with white-glossed units and hosting an electric oven and hob to prepare heart-warming meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table. Afterwards, a dishwasher offers a fuss-free clean and in the warmer months you can head out onto the front patio and unwind on the furniture, surrounded by lovely shrubbery. As day draws to night, retreat inside and take a hot shower in the contemporary shower room whilst your towel stays toasty on the heated rail. Upstairs, choose between two bedrooms, including a zip/link king-size and a single bedroom, both with bedside lamps for a night-time read. Awaken with a steaming cup of coffee before planning for the day ahead and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast, courtesy of the kitchen appliances. Lace up your walking boots to explore Farnhill Moor and afterwards reward yourself with a refreshing pint at a local country pub. Take advantage of your close proximity to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, home to sweeping moorlands for a long hike or if that's not for you venture into Keighley to see steam trains at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Immerse yourself in the past with a trip to the village of Haworth, where you can meander around Brontë Parsonage Museum and quaint gift shops for a souvenir. Skipton town centre is right on your doorstep where you’ll find a vibrant selection of restaurants, tea rooms and coffee shops for eating out, and the traditional market sells fresh produce throughout the year including local cheeses, fish, meats and fresh vegetables, making this cottage an ideal spot to rest during your stay. For a memorable escape to Yorkshire, choose April Cottage.
