Penny Pot Cottage sleeps two guests in great comfort, having been tastefully restored to provide spacious accommodation over three floors. It has very good parking access and sits in a lovely part of Middleham, across the road from the castle and on the route taken by the horses to and from the training gallops. The village pubs, shop and café are a two minute walk away. Middleham lies at the joining of Coverdale and Wensleydale on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and offers wonderful walking and cycling routes through glorious countryside right from the doorstep.

If you wish to explore a little further afield after the delights of Middleham, try the water falls of Aysgarth Falls or England’s highest uninterrupted fall at Hardraw Force. Visit the spectacular White Scar Caves near Ingleton and the renowned Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, all fine examples of the landforms which characterise this region’s limestone scenery. The magnificent medieval castle of Castle Bolton (where Mary, Queen of Scots was once imprisoned) is a must-see, while there are many National Trust and Historic Houses properties within a short drive, such as Fountains Abbey and Newby Hall. Perhaps less well known, but no less delightful, are the gardens, arboretum and bird of prey centre at Thorp Perrow. For the bird watching enthusiast there is the wetland reserve at Nosterfield or, for something completely different, spend a few hours at the Forbidden Corner – a strange and wonderful place full of surprises! Local towns of note include Leyburn with its bustling market square, its range of independent retailers and eateries, and the splendid views of Wensleydale from Leyburn Shawl; Masham with its beautiful spired church and two breweries with visitor centres...
