About this cottage rental

Nestling in the heart of the popular pretty village of Askrigg (or more famously 'Darrowby' for those that remember the original All Creatures Great & Small), situated on a quiet side road overlooking St Oswald’s Church, our delightful town cottage, dating back to the 1750s, is packed with charm, character, sleeps 4 and has everything you could need for your Yorkshire Dales holiday. After a day exploring the Dales there really is nowhere better to come home to roost. With a wonderful village Deli, handy village shop and 3 great pubs all within a couple of minutes' walk, this really is a great escape from it all.

Our gorgeous cottage sleeps up to 4 people and comprises the following:-

Entrance porch: with hanging space for coats.

Lounge/dining room: Packed with character, boasting original beamed ceiling and beams from ceiling to floor, original stone shelves and cupboards, wood burning stove, plenty of hanging space for coats, hats, boots and wellies, Smart TV with Freeview Play, DVD player, sound bar with sub woofer and blue tooth speaker, comfy sofas and dining table.

Kitchen: our fully equipped kitchen has an electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with icebox.

First floor:-

Bedroom 1: With double bed, hairdryer and Bluetooth wireless playback alarm clock radio with dual USB charging points. View to the front towards the Churchyard.

Bedroom 2: With twin beds, hairdryer and Bluetooth wireless playback alarm clock radio with dual USB charging points. View to the front towards the Churchyard.

Bathroom: with bath, separate shower cubicle with new Mira shower boasting adjustable flow, W.C. and wash hand basin.

Bed linen and towels are provided and included in our prices.

Please note that due to the age and character of our cottage, the ceilings are low.

Outside

To the rear of the property is a shared yard area. To the front there is a bench (ideal for those who like to people watch or talk to locals and holiday makers on their way to the waterfalls). NB There is no outside space at The Roost, we are a town cottage in the centre of Askrigg and we have no garden.

As with most properties in Askrigg, there is no designated parking at The Roost. Free parking is available throughout the village on a first come first serve basis.

We regret we are unable to accept pets.

Short breaks are available during off peak times.

Great little cottage it was the perfect size for the two of us to see in the New Year. Spotlessly clean, lovely log burner, kitchen with all the things you need, just a short walk to the village pubs, shop and fabulous deli. The bed was really comfortable, fabulous quality bedding and the shower in the bathroom was amazing. This cosy cottage is positioned perfectly for short walks and longer hikes and everyone you meet is really friendly. No issues with finding somewhere to park our car on a very busy period in the village as everyone was courteous and considerate and we were lucky enough to be outside the cottage a few times. If you’re thinking of a break in Askrigg we would really recommend The Roost.

We spent a week in this cottage. It was everything we could have hoped for- and more. It was comfy, warm, and perfectly placed. We will be back for another stay next time we visit the UK.

The Roost is a very comfortable and well-situated base for a visit to Wensleydale. Being a little off the beaten track gives the Roost and Askrigg an authentic village feel and yet there are many walks right on the doorstep and other centres are easily accessible using the Little White Bus service. Everything in the Roost is of very high quality and thoughtful instructions make it easy to acquaint yourself with the amenities and area. Please do try to patronise the local shops (including the craft co-op Heather &Grouse) and pubs (check hours and make reservations) - you won’t be disappointed and their survival is important to maintain the authentic character of Askrigg village. I loved my time there and was sorry to leave. Thank you Ruth and Stu! PS One word of caution: someone who is very tall will need to keep their wits about them at The Roost.

A cosy, clean, welcoming cottage in the heart of Askrigg. All the bits and pieces you'd need for a stay. With great heating, and a lovely shower (it was pretty cold and wet when we were there - these things seemed important).

Happy and comfortable. Good location. Kings Head is a good pub meal near by. Best avoid the White Rose. Good walks around and close to Hawes if needed. The Little White Bus sservice was handy.
