About this property
Dawson Cottage is a well-presented, detached property situated in the rural village of Low Bentham, not far from the famous Three Peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. Boasting plenty of character and charm, this inviting abode offers a lovely escape for you and your family. After a day of rambling the Yorkshire Moors, spend your down time in the open-plan living area, where you will be delighted by the real home from home ambiance, including two sofas and a wall-mounted TV for entertainment. Move into the kitchen, a compact but amply-appointed space where the allocated chef can impress with a delicious feast, while the rest of the group set the dining table with crockery and a bottle of fizz. Upstairs there are three bedrooms to choose from, including the master king with en-suite shower, a standard double and a twin. Take time to enjoy a rejuvenating bath in the contemporary bathroom or use the en-suite shower to prepare for the day, both featuring modern fixtures and fittings including a heated towel rail. Externally there is an enclosed courtyard welcoming evening drinks as you catch the last of sun. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, head to the local pub, or into the town of High Bentham where you can choose from a selection of takeaways and pubs serving food. Get to know the surrounding area and venture into the Yorkshire Dales, filled with valleys full of hay meadows, drystone walls and pretty towns and villages. Explore the natural attractions of Malham Cove, Aysgarth Falls, Ingleton Waterfalls and the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks (Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside) as you explore miles of paths upon this National Park. The rugged landscapes of the Forest of Bowland is also easily accessible, making Dawson Cottage a real gem for outdoor enthusiasts. For a change of scenery, head to the coastline where you can have beach days at Morcecambe or wander the coastal areas of Silverdale and Arnside or enjoy retail therapy in the city of Lancaster. For a Yorkshire escape you won’t forgot, choose Dawson Cottage.

Nice place to go both into lancaster for the day and to explore the dales which we did for two days! Would definitely stay here again.

Well equipped and very good quality, including the bedding. Only negative comment is that the sofas are very low and could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Also no visitor book. It would be nice to leave information about places visitors have found interesting or good places to eat (would definitely recommend Bridge House Farm Tearooms Wray. Lovely food and dog friendly).

Quiet little village in a good central location for lots of different walks, and visits to interesting villages. Nice walk along the river to Higher Bentham, where there's food shops and a bakery. We enjoyed our visit to the pub at the bottom of the road even though we had a power cut. Thank you very much, we appreciated the goodies.
