Thorpe Cottage

Masham, North Yorkshire,United Kingdom

Thorpe Cottage is a charming stone built cottage which has been restored to a high standard yet still retains many of its original features such as open fireplaces and wooden beams. The cottage is a real home from home and is equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. After a hard day's hiking in the Dales or an equally enjoyable potter around the many speciality shops Masham has to offer, you can unwind in the whirlpool bath or relax infront of the glowing log fire. A restful night's sleep is also guaranteed on the plump mattresses, which are handmade locally in the Dales. And if you decide you don't want to eat out at one of the numerous eateries that Masham is home to, the kitchen is fully equipped with halogen hob, dishwasher and washer/dryer. In the lounge guests will find a colour TV, DVD player, stereo radio/CD player in addition to a selection of games and books to keep you entertained as well as local guidebooks and maps to plan your adventures! The cottage is centrally heated throughout and also benefits from underfloor heating. Thorpe Cottage has been awarded a four star VisitBritain Quality in Tourism Rating.
