Resting on a quiet country lane, two miles from the centre of Skipton, is Foxstones Cottage, a stone built, semi-detached barn conversion, tucked inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and boasting picturesque countryside views.
This one-bedroom cottage is ideal for a couple's retreat for those wanting to explore the magnificent countryside of the Yorkshire Dales.
The large gravel driveway offers parking for two cars, as well as an enclosed garden with a patio area and outdoor seating, where you can enjoy an alfresco breakfast in your peaceful setting.
Step inside the property and discover a contemporary, open-plan living room with underfloor heating throughout the ground-floor level of the home, with a cosy sitting room offering a sofa and a Smart TV with Netflix, which you can enjoy beside the warmth of the woodburning stove, enjoying the garden view.
The well-equipped kitchen makes excellent use of the space, with an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, as well as plenty of worktop space for preparing ingredients, while the dining table offers the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic meal together.
The convenient cloakroom offers a basin and WC, as well as a washing machine, should you need to clean any muddy clothes, while up the staircase, you will discover the characterful, spacious bedroom with a king-size double bed, high ceilings with A-frame and lovely wooden beams, a feature exposed stone wall, engineered wooden flooring, a lovely countryside view, wall-mounted TV and a lovely en-suite bathroom, with a choice of bath and walk-in shower to start each day.
There is a shop and restaurant less than a mile away, while an array of independent shops, great bars, cafes and restaurants can be found in the centre of Skipton, just over two miles away.
The market town boasts a medieval castle with its own dungeon, close to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which can be accessed within a five-minute walk of the property and is excellent for walking and cycling.
Skipton is also home to a golf club, a park and the renowned Skipton Market, a tradition that has been upheld since medieval times, with stalls set up on the cobbled high street four times a week, where you can pick up a range of fantastic produce.
A ten-minute drive away from the cottage is the Coniston Hotel, which features a restaurant, luxury spa, shooting and 4 x 4 off-road experience, making for a fantastic day out.
Take a break from driving and enjoy the views with a journey along the Settle to Carlisle railway or the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
Head further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park to discover rugged moors, valleys, hills and quaint villages, as well as attractions like Malham Cove, a unique rock formation with a waterfall and picturesque valley views, Janet's Foss waterfall and natural pool, accessed via a scenic woodland trail, Stainforth Force waterfall on the River Ribble and for keen walkers and cyclists who enjoy a challenge, the Yorkshire three peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside.
The spa town of Harrogate and the Forest of Bowland AONB are both within a short drive, while the picturesque Dales villages of Malham, Bolton Abbey, Settle, Gargrave, Grassington and Kettlewell are all within a 30-minute drive.

Lovely!

Lovely cottage with some original features such as oak beams and an exposed stone wall in the bedroom. Spotless, bright but cool in this heatwave due I think to the tiles floor and 3ft thick walls! Kitchen very good and everything we need. Lovely bedroom and bathroom. I would come again any time.
This cottage was lovely and the location was great! We had a wonderful stay.
