Dalegarth and The Ghyll Cottages

Description

Dalegarth and The Ghyll cottages are family built, owned and managed. The owners, Susan and David Lusted, were finalists at the 2004 White Rose Awards.

Set in a former walled kitchen garden, Dalegarth offers two types of cottage, each with an integral garage and central heating. The cottages, both Type A and Type B, feature a twin and a double bedroom, bathroom, fully fitted kitchen (including dishwasher/freezer) and a large lounge/dining room offering extensive views of Upper Wharfedale. The lounges include a three-piece suite, dining suite, and an additional fully sprung double divan sofa bed. In addition, the Type A cottages feature a Sauna Room attached to the downstairs bathroom, and an en-suite bathroom to the upstairs bedroom. The southerly facing first floor lounges have a large double glazed sliding picture window leading on to a balcony with dramatic views over the River Wharfe and fells beyond.

Situated at the foot of Buckden Ghyll, below Buckden Pike, are Heron Ghyll, Dipper Ghyll and Swallow Ghyll Cottages. Designed to sleep a maximum of either 4 or 6, all are equipped to the highest standard with special consideration given to the needs of those with restricted mobility. Each cottage has a level main entrance to the rear. A door and ramp leads from the south-facing lounge onto a patio, offering views over the village to the hills of Upper Wharfedale beyond.

Guests' car parking is adjacent to a covered loggia, giving access via a porch to a comfortable lounge/dining room with colour TV, Video, Audio Hi-Fi system and Payphone. Video library on site. Adjoining the lounge is a well appointed kitchen, with built in oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, micro-wave, and food processor plus an additional fold-away lower level work surface. The large window looks across the rear gardens to views up Buckden Pike.

The ground floor bedroom has the option of either double or twin beds. Off the bedroom is a luxury en-suite bathroom, comprising toilet, wash basin, 'Dignity' bath complete with warm air SPA and a separate level-deck shower area with seat. The tiled room has underfloor heating to add to the general feeling of comfort, whilst all other rooms are fully carpeted and centrally heated. From the lounge, stairs lead to a second double (or twin) bedroom, which also has its own bathroom. Heron Ghyll has an additional first floor double bedroom, for which, if used, a supplement is payable.

The village of Buckden is at the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, surrounded by National Trust land; an idyllic location for the perfect self catering holiday cottage accommodation.
Dalegarth and The Ghyll Holiday Cottages, Buckden, are ideally situated at the head of Wharfedale, from which to explore the whole of the Yorkshire Dales National Park with Bishopdale, Langstrothdale, Wensleydale, and Swaledale to the north; Nidderdale and Coverdale to the East; Littondale, Malhamdale, Ribblesdale and Dentdale to the west and of course, Wharfedale itself, running southwards through the village.
