Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the cottage.
The recently installed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with stylish quartz worktops and is well equipped with everything you’ll need for a comfortable self-catering stay. Alongside an integrated oven and microwave, slimline dishwasher, washing machine and fridge with freezer compartment, you’ll also find a coffee machine—perfect for enjoying a freshly brewed coffee before setting off to explore the Dales. Gather around the rustic dining table to plan the day’s adventures over breakfast or unwind with a home-cooked meal in the evening.
Upstairs, two welcoming bedrooms continue the cottage’s blend of traditional charm and comfort. The principal bedroom retains its original oak beams and wide oak floorboards, complemented by a wrought-iron double bed overlooking the peaceful village street. The second bedroom has been tastefully redecorated and features a small double bed alongside a single metal feature bed, making it ideal for families. From here, guests can enjoy wonderful views across the enclosed garden, surrounding countryside and the distinctive outline of Penhill.
The contemporary bathroom has been recently refurbished and includes a walk-in shower, wash basin, toilet and heated towel radiator.
Outside, the sunny south-facing enclosed garden provides a peaceful haven to enjoy the fresh Yorkshire air. Relax with your morning coffee on the patio, unwind with a good book on the lawn or enjoy an evening drink surrounded by colourful flower beds after a day of sightseeing. Fully enclosed, the garden also offers peace of mind for guests holidaying with their dogs.
Johnson Cottage enjoys an enviable location in the charming village of Carperby, one of Wensleydale’s hidden gems. Just a short stroll away is a welcoming country pub serving delicious food and local ales, making it the perfect spot for an evening meal after a day on the fells or a leisurely lunch without having to venture far from the cottage.
The surrounding Yorkshire Dales National Park offers endless opportunities to explore. Just a few minutes away, the spectacular Aysgarth Falls is one of the area’s most famous attractions, with beautiful woodland walks and cascading waterfalls that featured in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. History lovers can visit the impressive Bolton Castle, while families will love discovering the quirky tunnels, follies and surprises of The Forbidden Corner.
The bustling market towns of Leyburn and Hawes are both within easy reach and offer independent shops, traditional tearooms, welcoming pubs and local produce. A visit to the award-winning Wensleydale Creamery is a must, while the surrounding countryside provides superb walking, cycling, horse riding and fishing opportunities. Whether you’re following scenic riverside paths, climbing to panoramic viewpoints or simply enjoying a leisurely drive through some of England’s finest landscapes, every day promises something new.
After a day spent discovering the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, return to the comfort of Johnson Cottage, light the wood burner and settle in for a relaxing evening.
