Urlay Nook is currently the only 5 star holiday cottage in Askrigg, and only one of a handful within The Yorkshire Dales. It is in a pretty yet convenient position on the edge of the village, next to Askrigg Beck, with views over open fields from the south facing rear of the cottage. Being only a couple of minutes walk from the heart of the village with its shops, pubs, restaurants and church, it is ideally suited for those who are looking to enjoy a village location with the benefit of having amenities, including places to eat, within strolling distance.
This light and airy cottage has many original features including thick stone walls, bread oven, beams and window seats. It is co-ordinated throughout to offer stylish and luxurious accommodation with a mixture of new and antique furniture ensuring both modern comforts and a true cottage atmosphere are maintained.
Askrigg nestles beneath the stunning fells of Ellerkin and Askrigg Common towards the top of Wensleydale. Its two and three storey stone cottages and houses line the main street, with the 15th century parish church in the centre of the village in the old cobbled market place, which still has its market cross and iron bull ring set into the cobbles.
Visitors may recognise Cringley House as ‘Skeldale House’ from the BBC television series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ with the Kings Arms being the ‘Drovers Arms’ from the same series. There is a good village shop where you can buy all your basic groceries and the village also has a delicatessen where local produce can be purchased, a newsagents and three pubs serving food.
