Fern House In the Yorkshire Dales

Fern House is a superb, stylish 17th Century country house in Wharfedale, in a riverside location overlooking Kettlewell Beck in the picturesque village of Kettlewell, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

This beautiful, pet-friendly Dales cottage was once the blacksmith and a Coaching Inn, with the nearby Award-Winning Bluebell Inn being used as its stables. This impressive, stone-built holiday home comprises a main house and an annexe, combining seven delightful bedrooms, three bathrooms, two dining kitchens, a separate dining room, and three reception rooms.

There is also a handy utility room, perfect for storing muddy walking boots and equipment after a day on the fells, plus enclosed gardens situated to the front and back. With no expense spared during the renovation of the property, Fern House has been tastefully transformed to provide superb facilities, contemporary styling and elegant furnishings while retaining the immense character and charm of the original dwelling.

The main part of the house features a spacious sitting room with a wood-burning stove and patio doors to the enclosed rear garden, while the kitchen has a lovely warming AGA, a small dining area and a TV. There is a separate dining room with a pull-out table and five well-laid-out bedrooms, the master of which houses a king-size bed and modern en-suite.

The annexe is attached to the main house and can be accessed through a lockable door via the master bedroom or its own entrance. It enjoys a lovely, cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a modern kitchen diner, two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom. It is ideal for members of the group who like a little privacy from time to time. In a most desirable location, with beautiful views of the surrounding fells, the property overlooks the village hall in Kettlewell, where the opening scenes from the much-loved film Calendar Girls were filmed.

The village holds a charm all its own: a cluster of beautiful, centuries-old stone buildings and Kettlewell Beck meandering through the centre on its way to join the River Wharfe. With outstanding views and walks in every direction, this is not to be missed! Fern House is a fabulous location for a group of friends or family to get together. It is home to three of the finest, award-winning pubs in the Yorkshire Dales.

GREAT LOCATION FOR EXPLORING

Fern House is very well located for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, in particular we visited Malham, Bolton Abbey and Aysgarth Falls. The size of the property was perfect and everyone was greatly impressed with the cleanliness, décor and furnishings. We couldn't have asked for any more!

FANTASTIC HOUSE TO MEET REQUIREMENTS

Great location, fantastic house for our requirements, and the good weather helped as well! The weekend was for my Mum's 60th birthday so having all the family together under one roof to celebrate was perfect. Will definitely be going back in the future.
