Barnloft, Mistal and Boskin self catering country holiday cottages, have all been individually and lovingly restored.

Originally they were Agricultural buildings that once housed pigs, cows, horses and even Reindeer! Today, the exposed Yorkshire stone and Oak beams remain as nostalgic features of interest within the country atmosphere of each Dales cottage.

Cawder Hall Cottages have three English country holiday cottages. Each is surrounded by open untamed moorland and stunning countryside that provides far reaching views of the surrounding Dales area and wildlife. Guests are provided with home from home accommodation, that incorporates all modern facilities at a reasonable and affordable price.

Our self catering accommodation provides guests with peace and tranquillity. Only the sound of the clock ticking and livestock grazing in the nearby fields can be heard. It’s idyllic.

As the Yorkshire Dales are continually beautiful whatever the season, our delightful English country holiday cottages are open all year round.

Gas, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included in the tariff. If you have any special needs, please contact us to see if we can accommodate them.

We offer cottage accommodation that is flexible for the modern day traveller. We are happy to book mid week and weekend breaks, full week stays, between house moves or for that all important family gathering, business meeting or interview.

Some History

Until 1953 Cawder Hall Cottages was incorporated into the Skipton castle estate. It was then sold off to raise vital funds and continued as a working farm. Farm workers from Ireland used to stay at Cawder Hall cottages and earn their money through the harvesting time. Whilst renovating one cottage we found they had written their weekly wages on the wall.

Each of our cottages has housed farm animals over the years including Bull Beef and reindeers! So when it came to renovating each cottage this had to be done in a very sympathetic manner which enabled us to retain the exposed Yorkshire stone and Oak beams and keep the main individual character of each dwelling.

The Boskin and Mistal are within our cobbled courtyard location. Here guests can sit and take in the breath taking scenery and experience some of the most amazing sunsets. The nights are very dark but there is an abundance of stars and often you can hear the owls calling.

The Barnloft has an elevated position which over looks the surrounding countryside where occasionally the odd sheep may bob’ over the wall to greet you. You can sit outside and enjoy your meal here or just laze on the grass with your favourite wine.

What ever your reason for staying with us you can be assured you will receive a very warm welcome. We have three generations now living on site and we are very family orientated. The chickens run freely around the place as the children did and now the grandchildren, what could be nicer.

We look forward to hearing from you soon when you make the best decision in staying with us.... You won't be disappointed!
