"Dene Cottage is a period cottage, ideal for couples, friends or family and situated in the cobbled heart of Dent Village with views across to Rise Hill and St. Andrew's church."
Dene Cottage is in the beautiful village of Dent in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. With its two ensuite bedrooms, it is ideal for couples, friends or families who appreciate its relaxed country charm and proximity to stunning scenery. The cottage is in one of Dent’s cobbled streets, with The George and Dragon and Sun Inn (friendly local pubs serving great food and real ale) on the doorstep. After an exhilarating day of walking or cycling through Dentdale, Dene cottage is a welcoming place to return and relax in front of the log burner.
The picturesque village of Dent is a fantastic place to stay while exploring Dentdale and the Yorkshire Dales. The local community is welcoming to visitors and the village not only has award-winning pubs but a village shop stocked with a good variety of essentials and a wonderful museum and heritage centre.
Dent is now best-known as a haven for walkers, cyclists and potholers, but 200 years ago it was renowned for having the most prolific knitters in England, with men, women and children having perfected the technique for knitting one-handed while walking to work in the fields.
Dent station - the highest in Britain at 1,100 feet above sea level, is four miles outside of the village, and a trip on the Carlisle to Settle Railway is a wonderful way to enjoy the scenery without expending too much energy. However, if it is a physical challenge you are after then you will love the prospect of walking the circular Yorkshire Three Peaks route, which takes in Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, or beside the spectacular Ribblehead viaduct. The Ingleton Waterfalls walk is only a few miles from the cottage, and there are many other footpaths to suit every age and ability. The Lake District National Park is less than an hour away, opening up even more stunning walking and cycling routes.
Nearby local attractions include the Dent Brewery, White Scar Cave, Ingleside Caves, the ruins of Bolton Abbey, and the Wensleydale Creamery. One thing that strikes first-time visitors to this part of England is how unspoilt it is by generic High Street chains. Many of the shops, restaurants and other businesses are run by local owners whose love of the region is reflected in their products.
However you choose to spend your days in Dentdale, you will be happy to start and end them in the stylish confines of Dene Cottage where original features and modern conveniences are carefully blended to create a welcoming home-away-from-home.
Dene Cottage is a period property with accommodation over two levels. It is in a cobbled lane and, like the rest of the centre of the village, peacefully free from traffic. The cottage comes with a permit to use the village car park.
