If you're looking for a break in the Yorkshire Dales, look no further. Wenning Bank is a stunning period cottage with all the modern conveniences you will ever need. We came for a quiet break, and we sure got it. On arrival we were welcomed from the train station, and at the cottage with a basket of freshly baked scones, bread, local butter and cheese. We couldn't have asked for more - thank you!
The cottage is so clean, we felt like we'd walked into a brand new home. The Smart TV is great - after walking around the dales and local village it was lovely to stick Netflix on and open a bottle of fizz. We recommend the Clapham village store, just a mile away through fields of baby lambs (yes, don't wait for summer to enjoy this place!) for all your grocery needs. If you love organic veg, visit Growing With Grace, a local co-op supplying the local area with delicious veggies and fresh produce. We also did a Sainsbury's online shop for other bits and bobs and that was super easy too. WiFi is fast and reliable, and included in the price.
The charm of the place is just fab - the views are idyllic and we felt like we were in a fairytale for the whole stay. The period features, original wooden doors, a wardrobe from the 1800's, log burner - everything you'd want from a country cottage. With this, a kitchen that looks brand new, pristine plates, cutlery, HD telly, huge comfy leather sofas and a massive comfy bed.
We had a wonderful time, birdspotting, walking, lovely scenery for running or biking if you're into that! Close to Ingleton, and Clapham village has a pub, two cafés, vintage shop and grocery shop. Everyone is so friendly, as were the kind owners at Wenning Bank. Thank you, we'll be back!
