Positioned just west of the Yorkshire Dales, on the northern fringes of the Forest of Bowland, this lovely town is split into High Bentham and Low Bentham, with the babbling River Wenning running between the two. The town boasts an annual agricultural show, with handicraft, horticulture and livestock competitions, which dates back to the 19th century. In addition to this is the annual Carnival and funfair, entertaining a thriving community with workshops, music and many fundraising events. High Bentham has an array of public houses and eateries to choose from, and the railway station sits on the Leeds to Morecambe line. For walking enthusiasts, there are colour coded circular trails of different lengths and capabilities, right on the doorstep. The neighbouring village of Ingleton offers some wonderful caves and tumbling waterwalls, along with a year-round climbing wall and a good range of shops, pubs and places to eat. Enjoy a trip out to Morecambe Bay with your bucket and spade, where you can fly your kites, build sandcastles or simply take a stroll along the promenade. For more independent shops and restaurants, the town of Kirkby Lonsdale is only a short drive away, with access to Ruskin's View. Take the footpath from the churchyard at St. Mary's Church and follow the trail high about the River Lune, where you can marvel at a panorama of the Lune Valley and Underley Hall. A wonderful location for exploring National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the North West coastline.

My only downside comment is the parking situation which the cottage owners have no control over.

Everything we needed was there. Fantastically comfy clean beds, hot water, gorgeous decor, wonderful spacious bathroom with gorgeous flooring. Peaceful private garden. Lovely river walk & great market towns to visit. Arnside was fab! The welcome biscuits were yummy but the milk provided was out of date & sour I'm afraid but nice idea. I managed to park nearby ok too. I didn't know the area was famous for silk making so the cottage has a very apt name. I would highly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area. Thank you

Its nice and clean and it's just a wonderful place. there are only three things and that is a blind in the bathroom nowhere to wash your clothes but looking out side there seems to be an extra pipe coming from the landing cupboard? Which if there is a washing machine you should consider it to be used it . the sink and dishwasher pipe work instead of it going to a flood drain outside the back door it really shouldn't be piped into the main waste or even the other drain. They were the only three things but would I go back again that's a yes those three things it would be outstanding It's clean it's a lovely house the garden is enclosed and that's fantastic would I recommend this Holliday home and Sykes that's a yes 10 out of 10
