Property code: OC-DS257

In a quiet position by the traditional maypole in the picturesque village of Kettlewell, this detached stone house is the perfect choice for a special celebration or cherished get-together. It is surrounded by the gorgeous scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park – even sitting right alongside the burbling waters of Kettlewell Beck – and there are a variety of walking routes that run straight from the house, ranging from gentle strolls and moorland rambles to more energetic hikes and climbs. Explore the boutique shops, traditional pubs and charming cafes of Grassington (7 miles), Skipton (14 miles), and Leyburn (16.5 miles), while Malham (14 miles), is both a popular village and part of a dramatic natural landscape that includes the Janet’s Foss waterfall, the massive limestone cliff of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, a huge limestone gorge.

The beauty of the scenery outside is echoed by the quality of the interior of this stylish house, which is comfortably spacious, delightfully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for an enjoyable stay. There are two reception rooms in which to retreat and relax, both with Smart TVs and Blu-ray/DVDs: the main sitting room with ample seating and a wood burner, and a family room with further seating and a gas fire. There is a good quality sofa bed in the family room to sleep 2 guests (with bedding, linen, and towels in adjacent cupboard) by arrangement. There are two dining areas as well: a principal dining room that seats ten and has an ornamental fire, and a breakfast room (two steps down from the kitchen) that seats six. The handmade kitchen includes a range of appliances and an AGA, twin Belfast sinks, granite and oak worktops, and feature wooden lintels and columns. Two staircases lead to separate bedroom areas. The main stairs rise from the dining room to a spacious landing with an additional seating area for quiet relaxation. Off this landing are two twins and a double bedroom, each with lovely views and en-suite shower rooms featuring rainfall showers. The second staircase leads from the breakfast room to the super-king-size bedroom, a further double bedroom, and a family bathroom with a rainfall shower over the bath.

The extensive rear terrace which overlooks Kettlewell Beck is perfect for dining outside or simply breathing in the fresh Yorkshire air. It has tables and seating for 14 guests with parasols, lighting, and a charcoal BBQ.

  • 5 bedrooms – 2 twins, 2 doubles, 1 super-king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be converted to twins on request), plus a good quality sofa bed to sleep 2 guests (with bedding, linen, and towels in adjacent cupboard)  in the family room by arrangement
  • 4 bathrooms – 3 en-suite shower rooms with WCs, 1 family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC
  • Electric oven and ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, two-oven/twin-hob AGA
  • Utility room with fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer

  • Mobile signal is variable; a landline telephone is provided for incoming and emergency calls
  • Small, enclosed front garden, rear terrace (overlooking a stream) enclosed with walls, railings and gates

Littlebeck was a lovely place to stay for a large family group, with lots of space and rooms so you don't need to be on top of each other. . It has everything provided with plenty of crockery, pans etc to cater for 13 plus people and not have to wash up instantly for another plate or cup. we received a welcome pack to help us settle, tea ,coffRead moreee cake etc. Also great to have cleaning products supplied. plenty of games, maps and books of the area too. It was a quiet village when we were there (March), and there a plenty of walks to do from the house. a lovely place that i would recommend. Hide

Really enjoyed our stay at Littlebeck as a large family group of 12 and three dogs. Beautifully located in Kettlewell. The property is very spacious, so people have the space to either sit together, or go and do their own thing. Beds very comfy also, so everyone slept well. Outside terraced patio by the beck was lovely too.

We have booked many holiday vacation homes for our family over many years and in many countries. This was far and away the best house weve ever stayed in. Its beautiful, comfortable, well equipped, and in an excellent location. All three generations loved it. The patio had plenty of seating around two large picnic tables and the stream running pastRead more was lovely. Kettlewell is charming with 3 pubs, excellent ice cream and a very good childrens playground. We were well positioned for terrific walks, rigorous hikes, and casual strolls. It was an easy drive to the train in Skipton for a quick ride into Leeds for the theatre. Thank you Yorkshire Holiday Cottages for a wonderful holiday. Hide
