With the Yorkshire Dales right on your front doorstep, this country home is all about rest, relaxation and restorative rambles. Located in the hamlet of Skyreholme near the village of Appletreewick, it really is as charming as these place names suggest — although the town of Skipton is only twenty-five minutes away in the car whenever you need supplies. Inside, contemporary decor and bright wood floors provide a warm welcome in the living room, with a wood-burning fireplace sure to be the backdrop for plenty of cosy nights, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand. Congregate in the traditional farmhouse kitchen — complete with Aga and flagstone floor — for a hearty breakfast before lacing up your walking boots for a hike in the great outdoors. After soaking up the wild beauty of your surroundings and driving the five minutes to Appletreewick for a pub lunch, come back home for sunset drinks and rolling countryside views in the garden. When it’s time for bed, fall asleep in the comfortable bedrooms to the tranquil silence that abounds in these parts.
