In the midst of some of North Yorkshire's most magnificent countryside, the bustling market town of Settle is located at the south-western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, next to the largest outcrop of limestone in the country. In Settle, Tuesday is market day, when the plaza is crowded with stalls selling a wide range of goods and crafts. Local stores line the market square, which is dominated by The Shambles, a historic three-story structure with shops on the first two floors and houses above, and the Town Hall. A public pool and a good selection of eateries and bars are available. Throughout the year, the Victoria Hall hosts entertainment and various events including folk nights. The renowned Settle-Carlisle Railway travels through some of the nation's most breathtaking and inspiring upland landscapes. The surrounding Dales towns of Skipton and Malham, as well as natural wonders like Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, are both easily accessible. Settle is a superb starting point for exploring the Dales, the Lake District, and the Forest of Bowland because it is surrounded by wonderful walking terrain.

Perfect for exploring the area . Cottage was perfect with Smart TV for the kids in the twin room and there own loo and sink also . Everything you need. Warmth and comfort . And if your dining in .. everything is there is for self catering . But also plenty of take aways in settle which is only a 10 minute walk . As well as the pub next door or the bucks head round the corner offering cask ales and great food . Only downside . Couldn't open sky light in the top bedroom. Parking could be an issue but we always seemed to get the last free spot. there was plenty of street parking a few hundred yards away if not .

As a solo female traveller the area felt very safe. As a non driver the station and supermarket were close and there were plenty of walks/bike rides from the town. Although the pub is right next door it wasn't noisy at night.
