Dyson House

Set within the scenic Yorkshire Dales in the small village of Long Preston in North Yorkshire, is this fantastic cottage, Dyson House. Once the former village pub, Dyson House is set over two floors and can sleep up to eight guests, it benefits from retained original features, an enclosed garden and easy access to the surrounding areas of Settle and Skipton. Park up in one of two convenient off-road parking spaces at the rear of the property, before wandering through the neat front garden to step into your new holiday home. Look forward cosying up on the plush seating in the sitting room in front of your favourite film on the TV, as the open fire crackles nearby. Cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen, with handy washing machine and dishwasher, as your guests uncork a bottle of wine and set the table. Gather around the dining table to savour a delicious meal and toast to wonderful holiday. As the evening draws to a close, take your pick from one of five bedrooms, a ground-floor single, a single, a double, a double with TV or a double with en-suite shower room, all beautifully decorated and ideal for catching your rest. Treat yourself to a relaxing soak with your favourite book in the bath, before joining your guests in the enclosed garden for an alfresco breakfast and a catch-up. Explore your local surroundings with a leisurely stroll into the local village, where you will find a well-stocked convenience store, several large village greens where you can enjoy a run around with the little ones followed by a picnic, and two welcoming pubs where you can treat your guests to a meal out. If you don’t feel like driving, the village has a railway station which will take you to the nearby town of Settle, where you can delve into history at The Museum of North Craven Life or the Settle Station Water Tower, now a heritage museum. There is also the beautiful Queen’s Rock which overlooks the River Ribble and the nearby picturesque Scalebar Force Waterfall. Venture to Malham, where you can step back in time at the Town Head Barn, enjoy a tasty meal at The Secret Garden Bistro, before taking in the impressive scenery at Malham Cove and Janet’s Foss. Be sure to make a trip to Skipton, where you can expect a plethora of shops and eateries, as well as the Craven Museum and Gallery and the remarkable medieval Skipton Castle, where you can tour the former dungeons, kitchen and bedchambers. Bring your family and friends to share a memorable stay in Dyson House.
