The Old Dam sleeps six guests and is a delightful three bedroomed stone holiday cottage set in a tranquil position just less than five miles from the pretty Cumbrian village of Dent. Enjoying a detached position in Cowgill village within the Yorkshire Dales, The Old Dam offers all the right ingredients for a relaxing holiday. It has a large garden with a Wendy House for enjoying the summer months (with views in the distance of the Arten Gill Viaduct - keep your eye out for the Settle to Carlisle railway passing by!); wonderful original features inside for cosy winter breaks including a log burner in the living room and Rayburn in the kitchen; and a pub in the village within strolling distance.
The quaint village of Dent is a delight to visit at any time of the year. Enjoy meandering along the cobbled streets, enjoy a pint of local ale in one of the pubs, or learn more about the history of the area at the Heritage Centre. Arguably the best way to explore the local area is on your own two feet. With numerous walks from the village, from leisurely strolls to challenging mountain climbs, there is no excuse to not get out and about. Or if you prefer you can let the train take the strain and enjoy the stunning countryside from the comfort of a carriage on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. If you want to head further afield, both the Lake District National Park and the Forest of Bowland AONB are within half an hours drive.
Other places to visit include the market town of Hawes which is famous for the Wensleydale Creamery, or the historical town of Sedbergh with it’s links to the Saxons and Vikings. Visit Fairfield Mill, a former Victorian woollen mill that is now an art, craft and heritage centre or stock up on goodies at the fantastic weekly market.
The Old Dam has stunning views and provides a cosy and welcoming retreat to return to after a day exploring this beautiful part of the country.
