Luxurious. Tranquil. Beautiful. Accessible.

Discover the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales based from a luxury 18th century holiday cottage in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Explore the endless beautiful scenery that is 'Distinctly Dales' and the tranquil serenity that is largely untouched by the passage of time.

In this naturally preserved setting, you will find your idyllic multi-award-winning 'Cottage in the Dales', including best self-catering in Yorkshire & England and best inclusive tourism building in England & Wales. These 5 Star Gold cottages are perfect for the discerning visitor requiring both quality & luxury in a rural idyll where original charm & character in these stylish period properties are carefully blended with the facilities of modern life. Each cottage has its own unique appeal- as individual as you.

We are proud to deliver a 'luxury 5star experience, without the inconvenience of other guests'! Just like a top hotel, nothing is too much trouble & no detail overlooked. From a warmly-lit fire & premium toiletries, to the best local produce, electric car charging and accessible & inclusive facilities if you need them. Our aim is to ensure you feel at home, whether you are coming for the first time, or returning for the tenth. Enjoy our personally recommended local pubs or restaurants for that special occasion,  or a suitable amble, ramble or hike. Our pleasure is ensuring yours.

Whether you're looking for a winter warmer weekend away, a mid-week break, a summer holiday, half-term holiday with the children, take a tour of the photos, videos & detailed descriptions of each cottage to decide which cottage to choose, checkout our guest reviews, press coverage and awards, view our availability & prices and book online or via telephone. Then all you have to do is to discover what is 'Distinctly Dales' and the experiences you'd like to explore whilst out and about in the Yorkshire Dales. A holiday here is a pleasure at any time of the year. That's why guests return again and again.

What our guests say

"The June heatwave 2026 - there was nowhere we would rather have been than up here in Bishopdale. What luck to have booked this time and to have been out of the horrendous heat of the south east. The weather here has been glorioius and just right. We visited our favourite haunts round Cray, Arncliffe, Yockenthwaite, Hawes and Semerwater. It was such a pleasure to be outside all the time immersed in nature. Coats, jumpers and trousers all remained unworn. Then each day to return to the luxury and comfort of The Byre was just perfect. Every room is a joy to be in. Andrew and Diane could not be kinder, helpful or more thoughtful hosts. It’s wonderful to stay somewhere privately owned, and by people who really do care about their guests. And the garden is paradise. Thank you Diane and Andrew for everything."
