About this property
This wonderful, detached, stone-built Edwardian house with a ten-seater hot tub is situated in its own grounds in an outstanding location, in the small hamlet of Cringles, just one mile from the lovely village of Addingham and close to the spa town of Ilkley. Set in an enviable position, high on a hill, the cottage enjoys breathtaking views and fabulous walks in every direction, a first-class holiday base, perfect for friends and families exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Fully-renovated and furnished to a high standard, this fabulous cottage features contemporary luxuries including a beautifully tiled floor throughout most of the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two king-size double bedrooms, with one boasting en-suite facilities, along with two further spacious bedrooms, and a stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath and underfloor heating. There is an outstanding, stylish kitchen with a Rangemaster cooker, a central island with a granite worktop, and a modern oven and microwave set at eye-level. Gather in the dining room and discuss the days adventures over delicious, home-cooked meals, before retiring to the sitting room boasting a cosy woodburning stove. There is also a spacious second sitting room with a sofa bed and outside, the cottage is surrounded by gardens on three sides, with marvellous long distance views stretching in all directions. Let the children play on the lawn while you soak up the summer sunshine on the terrace patio, and enjoy alfresco dining on warm summer nights. For a true taste of luxury, sit back and relax in the luxurious ten-seater hot tub with four dedicated deep immersion bucket seats, a full body lounger and a domed foot massager, complete with Hydropools reflexology jets. The centre of Addingham is just a fifteen minute walk from this wonderful cottage, offering a good range of pubs, one of which serves gourmet food, a fabulous selection of restaurants and eateries, and a wealth of historic buildings. There is also a lovely, friendly golf course close by! Nearby, the towns of Skipton, Ilkley, and the historic Bolton Abbey are a must-visit, while glorious Malham and Grassington offer beautiful, limestone scenery, just a short drive away. This sensational cottage is the perfect getaway for discovering all that Yorkshire has to offer, all year round.
In the Domesday Book, Addingham is referred to as "Ediham", or "Home of Edi" - the Earl Edwin of Bolton Abbey. This historic village is located between Ilkley and Skipton and sits snugly in the valley of the River Wharfe, only three miles from the Dales National Park at Bolton Abbey. A corn mill near where High Mills is today was also mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1315, and over from the river is a weir, one of the most ancient medieval constructions in the village. Scenic Bolton Abbey is close by, and visitors shouldn't leave Addingham without taking a picturesque stroll along the river to the "Strid". Today Addingham is vibrant and thriving local community surrounded by stunning countryside and boasts little shops, fine pubs serving wonderful ales and a rather pleasing golf course.

Gorgeous views and extremely pleasant accommodation. Great to have a hot tub for 10 and the little added extras of snacks, drinks and tea and coffee was a lovely touch. We didnât want for anything. This is a great place to stay for both friends and family. Board games as well as pool and football table available. Even torches were provided at the doorway. Wouldnât hesitate to return or recommend to others. An absolute credit to the owners. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful cottage with family friendly layout, in a lovely location. Games room was a huge hit with the kids, as was the hot tub! The communication about the booking prior to our stay was great, Nige and Donna were really helpful. A couple of slight disappointments were the quality of bedding and towels. For such a lovely property, the expectations we had were high; perhaps white cotton sheets and bedding - at least for the adult rooms. But the towels were awful - so thin, small, shedding bits which stuck to skin and dried so much in a drier that they did not absorb water (awful for those with long hair). The owner should really invest in nice, more practical towels. We also had a problem with the dishwasher - it had been blocked up by previous guests and left full of greasy horrible water. On raising this with the cottage team however, they did address very promptly and brought the products we asked for in order to fix it. Overall it was a great stay and we would return - but with our own towels.

Great accommodation for a family weekend, warm in extreme conditions, loved the hot tub in the snow, ample space, great dining area, games room was well used. We do however have some comments, suggestions and one complaint. 1) There is a fridge next to the table which we found to be a freezer. We lost a bottle of champagne and a bottle of wine in the ensuing disaster. This item needs to be clearly marked as a freezer....... 2) There is an oven not working ( lower left) which makes it difficult to cook a roast for 10. 3) Some more large pans and some proper roasting pans would be good. 4) Both front and back doors very tight in frames. 5) Outside light at front is very poor. 6) Having the wood burner was great but kindling and big logs makes it difficult to keep going in a small burner. Either smaller logs or provide an axe to split big ones please? 7) No mirrors in some of the bathrooms. Difficult to shave, install lenses etc. 8) More mugs and glass tumblers would be good. Sorry we broke one wine glass trying to get it in the dish washer.... 9) One or two comments about bed comfort..... Generally we loved the place and may well book again for next year....
