Explore the market town on your doorstep or set out to walk the surrounding countryside. This stylish house has plenty of places to gather including two living rooms and a pretty garden and is just metres from the market square in Masham in the breathtakingly beautiful region of Lower Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. This market town is famous for its family-run breweries, steam engines and annual sheep fair. Explore the countryside with one of the many great walks in the area, including the lovely Druid’s Temple walk which starts at Swinton Bivouac. This short, easy walk has stunning views, a 200-year-old stone temple and a lovely cafe at the end. The cathedral city of Ripon is 10 miles and Harrogate is 20 miles.

Enter the house through the front door and you will find an entrance hall with hooks for hanging up coats and a beautiful antique telephone. From here, a door leads into the lounge, which has a large bay window onto the street which lets in plenty of light with an open decorative fire and TV. Next door is another light-filled family room facing over the rear of the property, furnished with sofas, a TV and a wall-mounted electric fire. A single bedroom on this level also has a large window overlooking the garden. Take the stairs from the hallway to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen has a rear door opening out onto the patio and garden, and a cloakroom in the corner is a handy place to dry off your clothes and boots after a day’s walking or sightseeing. Two bedrooms are on the first floor – a beautifully furnished double with an en-suite shower and countryside views and another double with views onto the street. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and the second floor houses a light and airy twin bedroom with sloped ceilings and countryside views.

The fully enclosed furnished patio and garden is a just the place for a morning coffee or to dine alfresco on a summer’s evening.

Scarbeck House was excellent for our week in Masham. We used it as a base for many very good walks in the local area and never used our car. It is very well equipped with loads of good crockery and cutlery and a very well equipped kitchen with lots of worktop space. The beds were all comfortable although the room at the top of the house was a littRead morele cold and not very spacious but would be ideal for children in warmer months. The road outside was quite busy and large lorries seemed to start passing from around 5am (weekdays) and went on for most of the day, but there is not much that can be done about that. The owner phoned a few days before we arrived and was very helpful and friendly. All five of us in the group, agreed it was an excellent place to stay and it's very likely we will be back again, either in the same group or with our families. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scarbeck House. Hide

A beautiful, homely cottage in a wonderful location. There are fabulous walks and scenery along with quaint local shops, a market on Wednesday & Saturday (worth a wonder round) and some very welcoming pubs. I look forward to returning in the future.

This house is fabulous. It has everything you could need and more. Great attention to detail. A home away from home. Very comfortable, spacious, relaxing, beautifully decorated and in a lovely location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had plenty of room for our family of five and space to entertain family friends who live in Masham.

We had a wonderful break with three generations of family and our dog visiting the ancestorial home of Masham, even though one grandparent had recently broken his hip after the holiday had been booked the owners where very accommodating, even the stairs on the first two levels where manageable under the circumstances, the house had everything needeRead mored to enjoy a comfortable stay and there are still the wonderful places to eat like the Kings arms and a local caf that provided our lunch time menu very efficiently, the garden is fully enclosed with a back gate / path to get you to the front of the house, this was ideal for muddy paws and wellies to clean off before accessing the kitchen area. We also received a lovely welcome pack and a postcard ( which I forgot to take home with me!! )welcoming us to the property. I would certainly recommend this property and will be back in the future.
