About this property
Poacher's Cottage, Leyburn, Yorkshire Dales
Originally built in 1877, this lovingly renovated Poacher's Cottage is the perfect hideaway for all seasons. Situated in the market town of Leyburn and just a short stroll from the local eateries and shops, this inviting property provides comfortable accommodation for up to four guests.
Inside this welcoming cottage, enter into a light and airy dining room that leads through to the modern and well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to enjoy a delicious meal, prepared from the local Yorkshire produce on offer after a day spent at the local markets in the villages that surround the area. Walk through the dining room and you will find the delightful sitting room, gorgeous family bathroom with roll-top, claw foot bath; and the ground floor king-size bedroom featuring high ceilings and two large windows, flooding the room with light. A real attribute to Poacher's Cottage is the first floor master bedroom which is home to an intimate seating area for two with an additional television and DVD player, giving guests the opportunity to sit back and relax having a lazy night in.
Outside to the rear of the cottage, take nine steep steps up to the raised barbecue, lawn and patio area boasting a perfectly situated outside dining table and chairs. This is the perfect area for families or friends who want to enjoy time together on a mid-summers Yorkshire evening.
A swift walk from the cottage will lead you into the centre of Leyburn, home to The Sandpiper Inn and The Black Swan, serving excellent food and both with a beer garden to watch the world go buy. Whilst Chambers Coffee House serve wonderful fresh coffee and cake to eat in or takeaway.
