About this property
Nestled in the small, market town of Bedale, North Yorkshire is Kilderkin, a well-appointed, two-bedroom cottage. Just paces away from a hub of activity, where you'll find your nearest amenities and attractions, Kilderkin offers a charming base for a family of four, looking to explore North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Park up on the roadside and make your way through the courtyard to reach your new abode. Be greeted by a well-equipped kitchen/diner, with all the appliances needed for a self-catered stay, where you can rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed around the dining table for four. After clearing up, unwind in the homely sitting room, lounging upon the plush seating and catching up with your favourite programme, before sloping off to sleep in either of the double bedrooms on offer. A sleek shower room completes the home, where you can prepare for your coming days in style, before touring to the town and its delights, with The North End Cafe, Three Coopers pub, and convenience store upon your doorstep; local attractions also include Bedale Museum, Bedale Golf Club, and The Big Sheep & Little Cow, the ideal day out for all the family. Venture into the national park where you'll be greeted by a plethora of nature-filled sights and popular landmarks to add to your itinerary, including Jervaulx Abbey, the National Trust site of Brimham Rocks, and The Forbidden Corner, or head to Thorp Perrow to explore the Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre, or hike through Marfield Wetlands for an afternoon of birdwatching. With Catterick, Northallerton and Richmond within driving distance, all of this awaits at Kilderkin.
The small market town of Bedale is steeped in history, some of which can be found in the local museum. The town also offers a weekly market on a Tuesday, interesting churches, various craft and antique shops (notably Red House), cafes, and pubs, which provide local beers and home cooked food. There are many lovely walks for all abilities in this beautiful area, as well as delightful villages to explore. Within easy reach are many other attractions, including the Constable Burton Hall Gardens with extensive parkland and woodland walks, and Jervaulx Abbey, with its tearooms and Brymor Ice Cream, is only a 10 minute drive away. Gardeners will enjoy the Thorp Perrow Arboretum, which also offers falconry displays, plus don't miss the weird and wonderful Forbidden Corner near Middleham! Ideally placed for exploring all of Wensleydale, Swaledale and Wharfedale, and the magical city of York, less than an hour away.

The bathroom was beautifully tiled however there was a smell every time you opened the door, think this may be a drain issue, also lack of extractor as no window for ventilation . Lack of cleaning products except hand wash and fairy liquid also no welcome pack not even tea bags . The upstairs furnishings are very good quality ,beautiful . Overall with just a few tweeks this would be a place we would return too many times

For a driver with mobility issues this complicated our stay. Faint smell of damp and an obvious damp patch on the rear wall of the lounge. There was no extractor in the bathroom and the long shower tray had an inadequate non- slip mat so my friend was afraid to use it. Other little snags - such as no bowls for cooking , no plug in the bathroom sink for handwashing under separate taps. It should be stated that no downstairs toilet and a steep stairs make it unsuitable for anyone with walking issues.
