Louise Cottage is on one of the oldest lanes in Settle, close to the centre of the village and full of Grade II listed charm and character. Its central location is within walking distance of the train station, shops, cafes and pubs. The Folly & The Talbot Arms being the nearest. The cottage, which sleeps two guests in one bedroom, is a favourite with couples who come to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park

Settle embodies everything that is great about Yorkshire - stunning scenery, charming stone buildings and friendly people who are justifiably proud of their community. The market town has been supporting local families and visitors to the area for centuries, and there are lots of places to eat and drink if you feel like a night off from cooking. A Victorian music hall in the centre of town offers a calendar of events, and you can certainly find a few minutes to view the latest exhibition at the Gallery on the Green - a former phone box that now houses the world's smallest public art gallery!

The opportunities for walking and hiking are endless, with footpaths to suit every visitor regardless of their fitness and experience. Ingleborough is challenging but doable, rewarding the effort with incredible views, while the enormous Norber Erratics - boulders left scattered by the Ice Age - make for great photo opportunities. An easier, but no less beautiful circuit, crosses Malham Moor and incorporates part of the long-distance Pennine Way.

One of Settle's biggest attractions, apart from the beautiful landscape, is the Settle to Carlisle Railway which traverses the Eden and Mallerstang valley, crossing the iconic Ribblehead viaduct. Mountain biking is another exciting way to explore the region, with cyclists allowed to use bridleways as well as roads and dedicated mountain bike trails.

Not only does staying in Settle put the Yorkshire Dales National Park on your doorstep, but it also means the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is also nearby. Even Kendal and the southern lakes of the Lake District National Park are within an hour's drive, making Settle an ideal base from which to explore.
