About this property

Country Hideaways | The Old Wheelhouse | West Burton

The Old Wheelhouse is a truly unique, historic and romantic two bedroom apartment in a stunning setting, a delightfully stylish apartment to sleep four people comfortably with many original features. The Old Wheelhouse is in a superb location overlooking Walden Beck and the Cauldron Falls. The green is a short walk away as are the excellent village shop, the welcoming Fox and Hounds and butchers and there are plenty of walks from the village for you to enjoy. Try walking to Aysgarth, take a picnic or have lunch there or just an ice cream. Hawes, Leyburn, Richmond, Ripon, Skipton are all in easy reach for you to explore too.
Wake up to the wonderful sound of a waterfall outside your bedroom. Open the curtains and see uninterrupted views of Walden Beck tumbling through a 500 year old pack horse bridge into a pool that is perfect in Summer for wild swimming. In Winter, admire giant icicles forming on the waterfall - all from the warmth and comfort of this spectacular apartment. Tastefully modernized, the large old mill windows enable residents to view the changing Nature around them from the privacy of their own comfortable space.
The owners have retained many of the original features including exposed stone walls and ironwork and complemented them with stone flagged and oak floors, antique rugs, leather sofas and old oak chests. All furnishings have been individually chosen to reflect the colour and feel of the surrounding Dales: green, dark reds, slate, wood and wool all give the impression of the outside and inside blending together.

Entrance is by four stone steps that lead over a flagged veranda and through double doors into a wide panelled hallway. To the left is a loft style, open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a rich oak floor, double aspect windows, and leather sofas. Also off the entrance hall is a spectacular double height bedroom with super king-sized zip and link bed, huge double aspect windows overlooking the waterfalls, beck and moors beyond. Copper lights hang from the old mill workings, antique rugs adorn the flagged floor and luxurious furnishings make this a room you won't want to leave. Adjacent to this bedroom is a panelled bathroom with flagged floor, bath, shower, washbasin, toilet and yet another incredible view to the waterfall. To the far side of the living area a door leads to another very stylish bedroom with open views of the river and dales, a lovely king size oak bed, exposed stone walls and old prints of the local waterfalls by Turner when he stayed in Wensleydale.

The Mill is set off to the lower end of the village of West Burton by the beautiful Cauldron Falls, giving the benefit of privacy whilst only a two minute walk from the village with its pub, shop, butchers and historic village green. It is surrounded by ancient woods, moors, streams and wildlife. There are footpaths from the doorstep leading up through wildflower meadows or sledging in winter making this an ideal area for those wanting to get away from it all.

A Wonderful Return Visit
This is our fourth stay at the Old Wheelhouse. It feels like coming home. The flat is cozy and well appointed. The village is lovely and the falls are stunning. We look forward to the next visit.

Overall a comfortable apartment in a unique location
Overall, very comfortable. Unfortunately no hot water or heating on last morning. Provision of basic condiments would have been nice eg sugar, tea, coffee. Stay spoilt by raucous party in adjoining apartment at the weekend. No consideration shown by the party for their neighbours.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment
The apartment is excellent - incredibly clean, a great location right next to the waterfall, and it has everything you need for a great stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom very functional and clean, and there is a really nice small patio area at the front of the property. West Burton itself is a picture postcard village and a great base for walks of varying difficulties. We had some superb weather and enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return, and would recommend Country Hideaways.

Delightful place to stay
We have used Country Hideaways for several years and have always found them to be friendly and helpful. We love West Burton finding it both a beautiful location to enjoy in itself with great walks from the village in the surrounding area, as well as a base to explore the area further. The Wheelhouse apartment is clean, comfortable and very well presented with lovely outlooks from each window. We also enjoy sitting on the porch facing the falls and chatting to passers by. The village shop and butchers are both well stocked and helpful.
