Region: From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

Town: Nestling in the Upper Wharfedale valley between Kettlewell and Buckden, this idyllic National Park village makes the perfect place from which to explore the wonderful scenery and pretty villages of this magnificent Dale. Much of Upper Wharfedale is National Trust owned - an indication of the beauty of its classic countryside, with dry-stone walls and barns, important flower-rich hay meadows and valley side woodland. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking areas in the Dales, with The Dales Way passing nearby, good access to Buckden Pike and gentle walks along the riverbanks. The village itself comprises a cluster of stone built cottages and houses with, at its centre, the wonderful 'Fox and Hounds' pub serving great ales and fine food.

Beautiful character house in great location
Rented this house in Nov when when it became cold. The house has a great location for walks with breathtaking views. Highly recommend a walk to Kettlewell and a pub lunch in the Bluebell Inn! Great food and fabulous service. Beautiful open fires and stoves to get cosy, with an aga in the kitchen. Really good location of the hot tub- right outside the kitchen door. Good sized bedrooms with stylish decor. We also used the annex space which was recently decorated.
