About this property

Long Preston 2.4 mile. Smithy Cottage is a beautifully appointed country cottage, located in the picture-perfect village of Wigglesworth. Sitting peacefully in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, this delightful dwelling makes a great base for your next rural retreat whether you're a family of four or two couples. Step into the airy open-plan living space after an afternoon stroll through the countryside and kick off your mud splattered boots, before wandering over to the sitting space and throwing a log on the woodburning stove and settling on the sofas to enjoy some quality time with your nearest and dearest. Spend some time in the stunning farmhouse style kitchen with attractive worktops and pretty oak units, where you can discover a plethora of useful utensils and well-thought-out appliances to help you whip up a marvellous dinner for the group or create some tasty treats with the children as you enjoy an afternoon of home baking. Open up the stable door and step out into the enclosed garden for some alfresco dining at the outdoor seating area and bask in the sunshine during those warm summer months. The ground floor is also home to a convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC. Venture up the imperial staircase to the right of the first floor and be greeted by a stylish yet peaceful shower room and the first of the bedrooms, home to a spacious double bed and en-suite shower room so that you can start your day off right with a refreshing wash. Across the way lies a super-king-size bedroom that can be transformed into two singles upon request for flexible sleeping arrangements; this room boasts a beautiful barn window filling the room with natural light, making this a tranquil place to rest your head at the end of the day. Jump in the car and enjoy a scenic drive to Gisburn Forest where you can embark on an enchanting woodland walk, or head into Skipton to explore the picturesque Waterfalls of Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar before stopping at Malham Cove to admire the incredible rock formation and magnificent views. Enjoy a family day out to Bowland Wild Boar Park to feed the friendly animals or watch as the children play in the park and ride in the farmer's tractor before heading back to the comfort of your holiday home. For an unforgettable adventure in the Yorkshire Dales, be sure to stay at Smithy Cottage.

Sitting within the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, you will find the pretty village of Long Preston. With a charming post office and village stores as well as two welcoming local pubs serving delicious food, this village has so much to offer during your stay. Explore beautiful waterfalls and wonderful woodlands at hot spots such as Gordale Scar, Janet's Foss and Malham Cove or hop on the local train and head for Appleby, Carlisle or Lancaster for a day of site seeing.

    It was our third stay here, which speaks for itself, and we even managed to sit in the garden and beer garden as the weather was sunny and warm. We’ll be back.

    Beds comfortable and particularly memorable with stars being visible through the skylights. Instructions were all embracing so no real need to contact the owners but re-assuring to know that they were on hand should any queries arise. Dim lighting very useful if wanting to move during the night. The parking was good for 2 cars but care needed to be taken when emerging on the road junction as traffic did tend to go past in all 3 directions at an alarming rate. Overall we rated this as 10 out of 10 and would not hesitate to recommend.

    It is in a beautiful location and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. This is our second visit and the cottage was as clean and welcoming as previosly. Our dogs are made just as welcome with some goodies on the counter for them on arrival. The log burner is so cosy and my missus loves the reqding chair. Bedrooms are very comfy and it is nice to gaze at stars at night. Pleasant back garden and convenient parking. We highly recommend this place if you want a relaxing quiet location.
