Description

Nestling in the sleepy village of Hunton, Bay Horse Cottage offers idyllic holiday accommodation which is suitable for couples and small families alike. Tastefully furnished and decorated, the cottage enjoys exposed beams in the lounge along with a delightful cast iron stove set within a Yorkshire stone fireplace and sure to offer a warm welcome when returning from a busy days outing! A fully equipped breakfast kitchen to the rear overlooks a small terrace with access to the garage a little further along the lane and from where to enter the "secret garden" - a true little gem which is fully enclosed and offers peace and tranquility and privacy. The master bedroom is light and airy and furnished with a king size brass and cast bed, whereas the second bedroom, housing a double bed, is smaller but cleverly designed to ensure sufficient storage

Hunton is a pretty village complete with village green and stream, a general store/Post Office and the Countryman Pub offering a wide selection of ales from local breweries and complete with an AA awarded restaurant.

Situated equidistant of the bustling market towns of Leyburn and Bedale in the Yorkshire Dales, Hunton ensures a perfect base for exploring the area and particularly handy for the A1 with the Cathedral Cities of York and Ripon, both home to racecourses, easily accessible. Nearby attractions for children include The Forbidden Corner, offering a unique folly with a labyrinth of tunnels to explore; Lightwater Valley theme Park and shopping centre, Big Sheep Little Cow Farm Attraction and the Wensleydale Railway where steam trains run through Wensleydale. Other attractions include Middleham and Bolton Castles, Jervaux and Fountains Abbey and the two famous breweries in Masham, Theakstons and Black Sheep, each with visitor centre.

About the local area

Wensleydale and the surrounding areas provide an excellent base for the great outdoors, with plenty of wonderful walking and cycling opportunities.

Explore the beautiful surrounding countryside, visit the many Castles, Abbeys and Stately Homes in the area during your stay, or spend a relaxing hour or two in one of the many cosy Dales pubs which can be found tucked away in every corner

Hawes, known as the capital of Upper Wensleydale, is a busy market town with many restaurants and tearooms. Local industries thrive with pottery, wooden toys, the famous Wensleydale cheese and ropemaking for visitors to see. Interesting antique shops offer a glimpse of times gone by and the Dales Countryside Museum and National Park Centre are essential for those interested in traditional countryside life.

The town of Leyburn boasts one or two unusual attractions having its own cinema, a Teapottery producing novelty teapots, a chocolate maker, violin maker's workshop and a fine arts and antiques auction house. Craft workshops and galleries also offer a range of locally and regionally made items including woodturning, stained glass, paintings and pottery.

To the west of Leyburn is the village of Bainbridge which is centered around a spacious village green complete with stocks. The River Bain, the shortest river in England, flows from Lake Semerwater over a picturesque waterfall near the village. Visit Askrigg to the north famous for its associations with the James Herriot television series "All Creatures Great and Small". It also has regular craft fairs, an annual art exhibition and flower festival.

Upper Wensleydale can offer you a multitude of eateries to satisfy your tastebuds. Although Hawes is the main town of the area most of the villages can provide you with excellent food in shops, cafés and pubs.
