About this property

Idyllic village location on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park

Rowan Cottage is located in the heart of the village of Healey, in an elevated position overlooking part of the 20,000 acre Swinton Estate with its fusion of rolling pasture, woodland and moorland dales. This conservation village is situated in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Dating back to the 1800’s this is truly a charming property. There is a welcoming sitting room with views to the front and an open fire for those cooler days (extra logs and coal are available for an additional charge). There is a well equipped kitchen with views over the enclosed rear garden and a separate dining room with direct access to the south facing enclosed front garden.

Rowan Cottage sleeps up to 4 persons (2 + 2) with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The double bedroom has a built in wardrobe with a window to the front taking full advantage of the extensive views. The second bedroom has bunk beds (please note that the top bunk has restricted headroom) and overlooks farmland to the rear. The bathroom benefits from a bath with shower over together with a basin and WC.

Outside there is a pretty enclosed south facing front garden perfect for alfresco dining whilst gazing at the picturesque and far reaching views. Stone steps lead up to the enclosed rear garden backing on to open countryside.

Lovely cottage and location
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Rowan Cottage very much. It is very well kept and decorated and the kitchen has everything we needed and more. The location is a great base to explore Nidderdale and has some local attractions nearby. Our only minor gripe was that the hedge in the front garden is so high it blocks most of the view.

Cosy and comfortable
Immediately impressed by the cottage which was well equipped and decorated to a high standard. Good kitchen, comfortable bed and excellent shower. A very generous welcome pack was a thoughtful touch. We were travelling in a pre-war car so private parking was important. Enjoyed Nidderdale; Masham a lovely town, museum at Pateley Bridge a real find.

First class cottage
We were delighted with our stay at Rowan cottage. It's exceptionally neat and clean, roomy for a 2 bedroom property and superbly located with delightful views. The owners offer a warm and friendly welcome and many thoughtful touches. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and I suspect we will be back before too long. Loved it.

Nice house in a great location
The property is ideal for a couple or a young family. The master bedroom has a regular bed and a walk in closet - most unusual in these parts. There is also a stupendous view. The second bedroom has bunk beds which probably wouldn't work for adults. The bathroom is very new and the shower is excellent. Good pressure and never runs cold. Brand new kitchen. The washing machine and stove are a little confusing but with some trial and error, you'll figure it out. Comfortable lounge with a love seat and a settee. Pretty little garden in the back. The owners live next door and are responsive but not intrusive. We didn't want to leave after three weeks and we may be back next year.

Beautiful Cottage, Fantastic Location
The cottage is warm, welcoming, very clean and well equipped. The location is fantastic for lots of dog walks. The Beale family are wonderful hosts and the welcome pack was much appreciated; especially the homemade biscuits!! The locals are really friendly and helpful too. There are lots of places to visit; Brimham Rock & Aysgarth Falls to name a few. We had a very relaxing week there, would highly recommend.
