Originally the village bakery, this charming Grade II listed stone cottage in a quiet village location offers walkers, cyclists, and lovers of the outdoors easy access to an area of outstanding beauty. Directly from the cottage door, a variety of short or longer walks will take you into the stunning Yorkshire Dales countryside, with views that will take your breath away. The space
The Bakehouse is

a beautiful Grade II listed stone cottage in a peaceful village that has been lovingly restored and refurbished. A spacious tiled hallway for coats and boots leads onto the cosy lounge. The inglenook fireplace once used to bake the village bread now has a log burner for those cooler nights, an ideal way to spend the evening after a day out and about exploring the countryside. There are two comfortable sofas to relax and watch TV, curl up with a book or get the board games out for some family fun. Adjoining the lounge, a fully fitted kitchen diner is equipped with all the modern appliances you need to cook during your stay. Seating for four is perfect for relaxed breakfasts or evening meals and there is access onto the terrace from the kitchen diner if you prefer to dine alfresco. Upstairs at the front of the cottage, the master bedroom overlooks the sleepy village. A king-sized bed, wardrobe, and drawers allow you to unpack and feel at home. The second bedroom has twin beds, hanging space and drawers, and overlooks the cottage garden with its ancient apple tree and the fields beyond. There is a family bathroom with a bath and shower, washbasin and WC. The beautifully planted garden at the front of the cottage has a little bench that is perfect for morning coffee in the sunshine. The completely private stone-flagged terrace at the rear has seating and ample space to relax in the afternoon sun.

Thank you Teresa and friends, you were “the most appreciative of guests” You certainly took advantage of all the Bakehouse has to offer in your two days. I hope to see you again soon.
“”What a find, a beautiful gem hidden away in Dalton, North Yorkshire. The cottage was adorable with so many lovely touches and lots of attention to detail, the hosts have worked extremely hard to present the whole cottage both internally n externally in a manner that makes your stay a moment to remember, it’s so beautiful that it makes you want to live there and adopt the relaxed way of living. We felt there was many adventures to explore right on the doorstep, we walked from the cottage around the village (30 mins walk) beautiful countryside views, drove over the moors to have afternoon tea and explored Richmond & Barnard Castle. 100% recommend staying at The BakeHouse Cottage, it’s simply adorable!”

My guests are really lovely …….it is such a wonderful reward to get great feedback. Thank you Rachel so pleased you had a fab weekend.
“Sue’s Bakehouse is such an idyllic, quaint and beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet and equally idyllic village. The cottage was pristine clean and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need, including forgotten tea bags! The bathroom was fabulous with a great shower and the bedrooms were spacious and had very comfy beds! The living room was a lovely colourful and comfortable setting for a girly weekend to catch up, our stay was absolutely perfect! Sue was so helpful and welcoming, she made sure we had everything needed for our stay including restaurant recommendations and easy access to the air bnb! She had a couple of personal touches for our arrival which was so thoughtful! Perfect chilled out weekend had by all.”

The Georgian market town of Richmond is only 10 minutes away from the Bakehouse. A walk along the river Swale, the Castle walk or a mooch around the shops or the market. A great day out plenty to do and see and of course some great independent cafes for a cup of tea.

Are you dreaming of Dog Daisies and long Summer days? July is a perfect month for walking the dales. I took this photograph last year on the most beautiful walk across the meadows of Swaledale from Muker to Keld. Staying at the Bakehouse is a perfect way to take your time to explore.

Originally the village bakery, our Grade II listed stone cottage is in the quiet village of Dalton, North Yorkshire.
This peaceful village is perfect to get away from it all and have a proper break.
We are just 15 minutes away from either Barnard Castle or Richmond with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants to explore. There are three farm shops locally where you can find everything you need to cook up a delicious meal in the cottage.

Make a cup of tea and take five minutes to sit on our window seat and watch the world go by…
One of the best things about a few days away is being able to switch off and get some headspace, being part of a peaceful village for a few days really does make you slow down and take it easy.

Sometimes enjoying the outdoors with a group of friends is just what you need!
If you are looking for a cosy cottage, well-equipped with everything you need for a girls' weekend away (or even a midweek escape) then The Bakehouse could be just the place.
Get out and about together in the fresh air, paddle (or maybe swim!) in the rivers, and when you’ve had enough head back to The Bakehouse and relax on the comfy sofas with a glass of wine and good company.
So get the girls together, pack your walking boots and your wine and check out the link in our bio for some dates you can escape to the countryside
