An ideal base for a wide range of year round activities including walking, climbing, caving, riding, mountain-biking, bird-watching, painting, photography or just plain relaxing. Originally built as a Wesleyan Chapel in 1845 (see history) and carefully renovated over the last ten years, this charming and well-equipped cottage is full of character. It has a stone flagged entrance hall, stairs gently curving to the first floor, oak floors, lime-washed walls, a large open-plan living area with beamed ceiling, stone and lime rendered fireplace with wood-burning stove. The kitchen is stone flagged with vaulted ceiling, original exposed beams and a hand crafted kitchen.
The countryside around is rich in wild-flower meadows, bubbling brooks (Straw Beck flows right opposite the cottage), rivers and waterfalls, ancient paths and tracks and an abundance of wildlife (and sheep!). The cottage is a two minute walk from the Village Shop and Tea Rooms, post office, craft shops (Swaledale Woollens and the Old School Gallery) and a friendly and cosy traditional pub serving good food and local ales - The Farmers Arms. Arngill is available for weekly lets throughout the year, and occasional short lets out of high season. |
