Luxury Riverside Cottage by Aysgarth Falls: Perfect for Walkers & Nature Lovers

River Dance Cottage is a luxurious two-bedroom retreat situated on the serene banks of the River Ure, right next to the stunning Aysgarth Falls. This charming cottage offers a perfect escape for nature enthusiasts and walkers, with breathtaking scenery and numerous walking trails right at your doorstep. Aysgarth Falls, a spectacular triple flight of waterfalls, is one of the highlights of the Yorkshire Dales. Carved out by the River Ure over a nearly one-mile stretch, the falls are divided into three stages: Upper Force, Middle Force, and Lower Force. The falls are particularly impressive after heavy rainfall, when thousands of gallons of water cascade over the broad limestone steps. The surrounding area is a walker’s paradise, featuring picturesque landscapes and tranquil paths. After a day of exploring, you can unwind at the nearby tearooms, cafes, or the local pub/restaurant, all just a short stroll away. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, River Dance Cottage is the ideal base for discovering the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
Local Things to Do: Explore Bolton Castle: Just a short drive away, this medieval fortress offers fascinating tours, falconry displays, and archery sessions.
Visit the Wensleydale Creamery: Located in Hawes, this creamery is famous for its delicious Wensleydale cheese. You can tour the facility, sample cheeses, and enjoy the on-site restaurant.
Stroll through Freeholders’ Wood: Adjacent to Aysgarth Falls, this ancient woodland is perfect for a peaceful walk, with opportunities to spot local wildlife.
Discover the Aysgarth Edwardian Rock Garden: A charming garden featuring a variety of rock plants and alpine flowers, located just a short walk from the falls.
Visit St. Andrew's Church: This historic church offers beautiful architecture and a tranquil setting, perfect for a quiet moment of reflection.
Explore the Forbidden Corner: A unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, and follies in Tupgill Park, Middleham, offering a fun and quirky adventure for all ages.
The cottage is heated and features 1.5 bathrooms and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Great location for exploring the falls and enjoying long walks. Cottage was immaculate, cozy and private. Lots of lovely little touches made it feel extra special and perfect for little romantic trip away.

Beautiful place in a gorgeous area. Would definitely stay again. Everything is really high quality and there was so much attention to detail. The address is listed as St James Mews, not At Joseph's Mews so this did cause some confusion trying to find it but check in other than that was good. Wish we were staying longer and hope to be back!

A fabulous base for seeing the amazing Yorkshire Dales

Very cosy, superbly equipped cottage. We were walking the Herriot Way, through Wensleydale and Swaledale and loved returning to Riverdance Cottage at the end of every day.
