Wayside Cottage - Kettlewell

Kettlewell, North Yorkshire

A two bedroom cottage for three in the heart of Kettlewell, with an open fire, an enclosed lawned garden with countryside views and a front patio, one dog welcome.

In the heart of Kettlewell, Wayside Cottage is a dog friendly cottage for three people and one dog. The enclosed lawned garden comes with a table, chairs and fantastic views across the countryside, and a second patio at the front catches the last of the evening sun. The village sits at the foot of Great Whernside, with charming pubs and some of the best walks and cycle routes in the country.

The welcoming lounge has an open fire, comfortable seating, a reclining armchair and a Smart TV, and once the walking is done the dog finds the warmth of the fire long before anyone else does. The kitchen and diner has a dining table for sociable meals, and from the rear of the cottage there are splendid views of the wooded dale. Upstairs there are two well presented bedrooms, a king size at the front and a double at the rear, along with a shower room.

The fire has been going since six, which is a good deal longer than anybody intended. The dog is stretched out in the lounge, dead to the world after the riverside walk. Somebody has the map out for tomorrow and is not looking at it. Both beds are made upstairs and neither will be used for another hour.

The River Wharfe runs across from the cottage, and a stroll along it leads the dog to the quintessential Dales villages that lie along its banks. For avid walkers the Yorkshire Three Peaks are within easy reach, and the market town of Skipton with its historic castle and the spectacular Malham Cove are both 14 miles away.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Wayside Cottage - Kettlewell dog friendly?

    Yes, Wayside Cottage welcomes one dog alongside up to three guests. It's well set up for a dog stay — there's an enclosed lawned garden at the back for safe outdoor time, and an open fire in the lounge that any dog will make a beeline for.

  • Are dogs allowed at Wayside Cottage - Kettlewell year round?

    The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, so it's worth checking directly with the owner to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage — with its open fire and sheltered garden — sounds particularly well suited to an off-season visit.

  • What should I know before visiting Wayside Cottage - Kettlewell with my dog?

    The cottage takes one dog only, so it's best suited to single-dog households. The enclosed garden gives your dog somewhere secure to stretch out, and Kettlewell itself is a brilliant base for walking — the Dales Way runs along the river from the village, and the track up Great Whernside starts from the village too, so you'll be straight into proper walking without needing the car.
