Description from owner
Description
‘Dalegarth’, in the village of Buckden, is situated at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park at the head of Wharfedale, amidst glorious unspoilt limestone scenery. The cottage was built in a former Victorian walled kitchen garden and its large lounge / dining room is at first floor level to take advantage of the long distance views along and across the River Wharfe; sliding patio door windows give access to a spacious balcony, from which to sit and sip and watch both sunrise and sunset – and the occasional appearance of wild dear from the wooded hills opposite. Anglers should be aware that the River Wharfe is noted for its wild trout.
Our aim is to provide Guests with comfort and quality -a ‘home from home’ ambience, where they can immediately relax and soak up the idyllic views, peace and tranquillity. Of course practical needs have to be met and the kitchen is invitingly spacious and well equipped. The master bedroom has full en suite facilities and, for users of the second (ground floor) bedroom there is a second bathroom, complete with sauna room.
There are landscaped gardens to front and rear, yet the cottage location is only 100 yards from the village pub (The Buck Inn). Buckden is surrounded by National Trust land and there is a National Trust information centre within the village.
Whether your ambition is to riverside amble, hillside ramble – or scramble – there are paths right from your doorstep. Touring locally opens up the scenery so evocative of the ‘Calendar Girls’ or James Herriot’s ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
From castles to caves, sailing to abseiling, geocaching or photography, or quietly mastering crosswords, Sudoku or catching up on your Kindle, we hope and trust that ‘Dalegarth’ will give you a breadth of scope to ensure a successful holiday.
ELECTRICITY - charged per unit consumed, payable at time of departure.
Further details
Superior quality bed linen, towels and kitchen linen provided.
Orders for milk/eggs delivery - either just for your arrival or throughout your stay - can be arranged.
The cottage is strictly 'non-smoking'.
Further details indoors
Ground floor: entrance hall with coat/shoe cupboard; twin bedroom with access to secluded rear garden and patio; family bathroom and sauna room.
First Floor: master double bedroom with en suite shower/toilet room and vaity unit; sunny, south-facing large lounge/dining room with the benefit of patio door windows giving access to a spacious balcony, including table and chairs, on which to relax, enjoy a drink, study the papers, watch the rich and varied local bird life and experience sunsets - and sunrises if you are an early riser! In addition there is a large well equipped bright kitchen, complete with breakfast bar.
Further details outdoors
'Dalegarth' is a secluded cul-de-sac within a former walled kitchen garden; the cottage parking is off-road and adjacent to the cottage. The open-plan gardens surround the cottage, with access from front or rear. A laundry facility (separate washer & dryer) and a pool table room are available.
Many of our visitors enjoy walking; be it riverside or hill walking, there are numerous walks right from the cottage front door.

Response from the owner Dear Chris and Jean What a pleasure it was to receive your Review - and such a comprehensive one as well. You might like to know that a cable of superfast fibre has just been laid beneath our pavement and we are looking forward to being connected, when the speeds should be considerably faster! Hopefully, you might like to check this out on your next visit. Warm regards David and Susan Lusted 'Dalegarth', Buckden

Response from the owner Dear Rose We owe you sincere apologies for the delay in this response; there are excuses! You were most generous with your comments - red ears here. One piece of news: we received the Visit England 'ROSE Award 2022' in the summer. 'ROSE' stands for 'Recognition Of Service Excellence' and is given to 100 tourism enterprises throughout the country. Apart from Visit England Inspectors, it seems that much regard is given to independent Reviews - yours might easily have tipped the balance for us! Here's hoping you will decide to return to the Yorkshire Dales and 'Dalegarth' sometime in the future. Sincere regards David and Susan Lusted

Response from the owner Hello Dermott Thank you so much for taking the time to write a Review, especially with your positive comments regarding the cottage, ending (best of all) with "(we) will definitely go back". We were very impressed with the range of your cycling expeditions, but suspect that there are still more waiting to be discovered - so we'll say "au revoir", in the hope of welcoming you both sometime in the future.
