A superb holiday home within the Yorkshire Dales, w/ Wifi, wood burner & stones throw from pub.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the olde worlde, picturesque village of Langthwaite is Copley House, a traditional stone-built dales cottage and superb holiday home. Situated next to the babbling Arkle Beck and surrounded by the rugged and varied landscape of Arkengarthdale. Copley House is in an ideal location for any nature or outdoor enthusiast. It is also conveniently only a stone’s throw from the infamous Red Lion Pub which most will recognise from the opening scenes of the original All Creatures Great and Small.
The ground floor has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and now offers a stunning, modern, and spacious open plan living area. It is quite striking how delightfully bright and cheerful the living area is with large, double glazed windows allowing in lots of light. This with the addition of a mix of contemporary and traditional furnishings provides a very tranquil and peaceful setting to enjoy a restful holiday in the Yorkshire Dales.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all you should require during your stay with plenty of storage space and worksurface. There is a fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dining table suitable for 4 people. The living space offers comfortable seating for 4 people around the wonderful wood burner, perfect to curl up in front of on cooler evenings. The cottage is heated throughout with oil central heating and benefits from free WiFi, flat screen TV and a skybox with freeview channels. Upstairs sleeps 2 people, one double bedroom, with traditional beams plus a family bathroom.
Outside there is a small, enclosed patio area.
There are endless footpaths and bridleways straight from the door. From gentle low-level walks along the Arkle Beck to Reeth to higher more challenging hikes up Fremington Edge and Calver Hill. The area is also hugely popular for cycling with so many routes to choose from either on or off road. There is also bike hire available locally in Grinton at the Dales Bike Centre and the Swale Trail, which is a purpose-built off-road bike trail for families with young children who wish to ride together or perhaps have a pushchair or maybe limited mobility.
Langthwaite is an ideal base to explore the local area. Only 3 miles from the popular village of Reeth, that boasts many amenities such as pubs, restaurant, cafes, ice cream parlour, post office and gift shops. The highest pub in England is, The Tan Hill, which is only 8 miles away and certainly worth a visit. From Langthwaite you can also gain easy access to Barnard Castle, where you can visit attractions such as the Bowes Museum. Richmond is a Georgian market town with several attractions to visit such as the historic Georgian theatre, castle and Ellerton Abbey. Leyburn and Hawes are also popular market towns offering further amenities, pubs, cafes, supermarkets, restaurants. Hawes houses museums including the Wensleydale Creamery, Rope Makers and nearby is Middleham and Bolton Castle and the Forbidden Corner.
To ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible all bed linen and towels are provided and the electric and oil is included in the rental price.

Great stay
We had a lovely six day stay. The downstairs of the cottage was great and the kitchen had everything we needed. A proper shower would have been nice, but we enjoyed the bath. A lovely stay!

A great cottage in a beautiful setting
A good-sized, clean and well-equipped cottage, loved the fireplace! Walks straight from cottage, sound of stream flowing just next to the cottage was a plus.

Half term dales break
The cottage is beautifully positioned in the village. It is very comfortable and the stove is a real bonus on the colder evenings. Lovely walks from the door and a great launch pad to discover the rest of the dales.

Comfortable and scenic
We had a pleasurable stay at cottage. The walks near by and overall location to access other areas of Dales by road were fantastic. The cottage itself was comfortable and the kitchen /lounge area was modern. The checkin process was seamless and their was informative material available within the cottage about Dales.

Short break
Lovely property, lovely location.
Character pub just steps away.
Great walks and bike rides from the door.
Cottages was excellent difficult shower over the bath if you are tall and a way to make a shower curtain/screen would improve use. Lots of kitchen equipment we could have done with smaller frying pan, baking tray and smaller saucepans.
Front garden could have done with a being tided up.
All small things overall a lovely stay and we would stay again.
