Long Preston is an attractive Yorkshire Dales village in Ribblesdale, twelve miles from Skipton (popularly known as the 'Gateway to the Dales'), four miles from Settle. To the north, the landscape rises to the fells, moors and picturesque valleys of the Dales; to the south are the wetlands of the Ribble Valley which, in turn, sweep upward to the magnificent wilderness of Bowland. The village benefits from several large, tree lined, village greens, with footpaths leading direct to the surrounding hills, and it also boasts two excellent pubs with first rate cuisine. The railway station on the edge of the village provides access to the famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line which crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Nearby Settle is a bustling market town with a weekly market, the centre being dominated by the Shambles, an historic 3-storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool.

Comfy kingsize bed and bed linen. Had a lovely week. The website doesnât mention however that it is a 6 minute walk at a steady pace to collect the keys from the key safe ( needed to raise the barrier to drive through) and 6 minutes back. We were ok - just missed a heavy rain shower and have good mobility, but it might not be all right for all.

It was very clean and tidy. We were surprised to have a welcome pack of coffee and tea bags plus bread and orange juice in the fridge. Quality bedding was also included. We would love to come back in the future.

A beautiful property with everything provided from a well equipped kitchen to a basket full of pots of jam and bread with fruit juice and milk. The lodge was very clean with a balcony with beautiful garden furniture. Spacious and beautifully presented. Hand soap, and kitchen towelling all provided. The actual Gallaber park is very well presented, very clean with lovely staff. I give this property 10/10, park 10/10
