Garbutt Cottage

High Green, Langthwaite, Arkengarthdale, North Yorkshire, DL11 6LD.

Self catering holiday cottage for 3/4 people in Arkengarthdale in the Yorkshire Dales.

A cosy cottage away from the hustle and bustle!

Garbutt Cottage sits on the high green of Langthwaite Village, Arkengarthdale, a dale known for the outstanding and unspoilt natural beauty of the landscape. It is mainly a farming community but remains of lead mining activities still exist This cosy cottage based in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers a warm welcome to couples, friends and families throughout the year.

Whilst sitting in the South facing garden reading a book or holidaying with friends, you can hear the babble of the beck as it runs alongside the section of garden which is fenced off. To the rear are fields, and through the trees you can see Calver Hill where the curlews call. St Mary’s Church sits proudly to the front of the property nestling amidst the dramatic scenery. All of this helps to create the relaxing feeling “away from the hustle and bustle”.
