About this property

Country Hideaways | School House | Askrigg

School House is a traditional, detached, stone-built cottage located on Mill Lane, a quiet cul-de-sac, which leaves the west side of the village, facing down towards the picturesque beauty spot of Mill Gill.

A pretty cottage, tastefully modernised with multi-fuel stove in the lounge for cosy evenings. A small entrance hallway leads to the lounge, kitchen and a stone flagged staircase. Through the kitchen is an under stair utility store which in turn leads to the rear of the cottage.

A stone-flagged patio garden gives ample space for outdoor eating and relaxation. Off the patio is a fuel store plus separate bicycle store and the side entrance to Mill Lane.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with two singles. Each have built in wardrobes. The bathroom has a combined shower-bath suite with toilet and washbasin.

School House offers high quality accommodation in a tranquil setting with nearby pubs, restaurants, deli, convenience store and church in this popular and historic village.

6/10 Okay

Avoid!
Facilities not all as described or photographed. No warning stone steps on staircase were each very high so difficult if you have bad knees ! Bedrooms tiny, could only get round beds shuffling sideways. Lamps and chairs missing. Extensive thick black mould in kitchen, cooker hood rusty and held together by gaffer tape.Recycling overflowing on arrival and was not put out for collection as promised in handbook. No instructions for washer. Beware is not smart TV and you can only get a few Freeview channels. Hot water dangerous as in seconds gets hot enough to brew tea! Bathroom tap reverse plumbed so the cold side is actually hot. Very good to clean your teeth ! We stuck it out for half of booking then came home.

First class cottage
We spent a week at School House and have nothing but praise for the accommodation. It was spotlessly clean, warm, nicely furnished and well equipped. The location, too, is excellent with Askrigg being a super village in the heart of the Dales. It is not at all surprising that many of the comments in the guest book are by repeat visitors.

Comfortable Cottage
This simple two up two down cottage was comfortable. It was very cold on arrival but we got the fire going and basically kept it going all weekend to maintain a cozy feel.( plenty of wood available in the cottage). The cottage was clean and we were welcomed with fruit cake and cheese. It was good value for the money .

An excellent retreat in the heart of the Dales.
The school house sits in the heart of Askrig, a very short walk to the village shop and pubs. The beds are very comfortable and the whole cottage warm and cosy. There’s everything you need for a trip to the Dales. I have stayed here before and will return again.

An enjoyable stay at School House, Askrigg
Well described accommodation, everything mentioned was available. Ideal location and a parking space provided. Only downside was that there wasn't a dishwasher - but my husband coped !!!!!!

Short Autumn Break.
An ideal cottage for a break in the lovely village of Askrigg. We have stayed here before, some years ago, but since then it is much improved. One to recommend and we look forward to a return visit. The Askrigg Brewery beer served in the King's Arms was the one that got our vote!
