The Old Stable

The Old Stable nestles in a splendid, elevated position with far reaching views of the hills and dales in the hamlet of Crackpot in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. A delightfully rustic cottage with original beams, roaring wood-burner and a cosy and welcoming atmosphere with the advantage of a pretty garden, parking, views and walking from your doorstep. Ideal for couples or a small group of friends, it is a perfect base to explore the surrounding countryside and all the Dales has to offer, you can even bring your four-legged friend too.

The Old Stable retains its original charm while offering country-style comfort, the compact kitchen has French doors which open on to a patio facing the garden. The sitting-room is just the place to spend evenings together in front of the wood-burner on those chillier evenings, a visit at any time of year will be warm and toasty. The TV has Netflix, iPlayer, TV and radio channels and there are shelves of books, maps and local information for your perusal and amusement. Views of the countryside and the garden can be enjoyed from all the windows and natural daylight streams in from above in the generous stairwell. Upstairs you will find two comfortable bedrooms where you can unwind and relax and then, in the morning, awake from a comfy slumber to a beautiful view from your bedroom. Even the large walk-in shower room has super vista looking out down the Dale.

Outdoors, a few steps lead down to a terrace where a table invites you to sit awhile and ponder your day's adventures, perfect for sunny days or balmy evenings. A path, unfenced with a drop, leads from the terrace to a lower lawned garden which is framed with mature bushes and plants, this really is an idyllic place to spend some time listening to the birds and sheep and watch the clouds roll overhead to the backdrop of Dales scenery. Nightime can be just as magical as the owls begin to call and the dark skies fill with a wondrous array of twinkling stars, you never know, you may even see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) as they have been known to appear here.
