Cottage in Wensleydale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

We have now followed government advice and reopened bookings for our cottage. We will be blocking out dates between bookings to minimise the risk to ourselves and our guests. The house will also be thoroughly cleaned between guests with particular attention to sterilising contact surfaces.

Millbeck is a converted barn on the edge of a small village, opposite the village green, with views over beautiful Wensleydale in the centre of the National Park. There are a number of established walking routes from the cottage and the village, and is ideal for touring the National Park. Local attractions include the Wensleydale Railway, the Wensleydale Creamery and Dales museum in Hawes. There is even a ropemakers and the famous Aysgarth Falls! There is a wide choice of pubs, restaurants and tea shops, as well as takeaways, in the area.

The cottage is close to the route of the Tour de France, and the area is popular with cyclists, We have a secure garage for the storage of bikes.

Rather surprisingly for a small village we now have cable internet at the cottage which is available to guests.

Lovely cottage
We had a very comfortable 8-night stay. It’s set in a very quite village with beautiful views of Wensleydale, exactly what we wanted. It was clean, had a good shower and equipped with everything we needed, including some kids toys and dvd’s which came in handy. The owner was very responsive and accommodating with our questions and asks. Would happily stay again.

Lovely, homely cottage in peaceful setting
The Mill Beck Cottage had everything we needed to make my mum and I feel at home. It was very spacious, cosy lounge for evenings and beds were comfortable. At the back of the cottage was a stunning walk through fields and past lambs. The little village was silent day and night, with odd tractor going past in the morning which added to the Yorkshire Dale experience!

Lovely idyllic Yorkshire holiday retreat
This cottage was lovely, logs for an open fire, all that you'd need in the kitchen and bathroom and a thoughtful card and bottle of wine upon arrival. Only downside is the bath had spiders webs in it, so obviously hadn't been used for a while.
