Description

A truly superb holiday home situated just a short stroll from the centre of Masham, this delightful cottage was formerly an old telephone exchange which has been completely renovated to a particularly high standard.  Stylishly furnished and decorated, the cottage is light and airy with the advantage of a small dining conservatory overlooking the beautiful enclosed cottage garden, under floor heating in conservatory and an off road space for parking.
 
Masham is a bustling market town with large square hosting an outdoor market each Wednesday and Saturday, surrounded by various shops, pubs and tea rooms and overlooked by St Mary’s Church.  The town became well known in medieval times as a centre for the Dales Sheep industry and it is this square which continues to hold the annual Masham Sheep Fair each September.  Also home to Masham Gallery and two famous breweries, Theakston’s and Black Sheep, each complete with visitor centre, brewery tours and shop. Nestling on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National park, the area is surrounded by excellent footpath walks along the river bank and moorland, ensuring the perfect destination for the outdoor enthusiast.

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.
