Situated alongside one of the village greens, next to the River Aire, which you can see from the living room, main bedroom and outside seating area. This is a wonderfully picturesque setting to enjoy a well-deserved break.
Enter into the tastefully furnished living room with open fire, perfect for snuggling up during those colder evenings. Walk through to the open-plan kitchen and dining area with its lovely modern style with all of the amenities you could want during your holiday. Upstairs are two fabulous bedrooms, one a kingsize and the other a twin, both designed to leave you feeling relaxed and well rested. The main bathroom also has that modern touch and boasts a double shower over the bath, which completes this terrific property.
Gargrave has all of the amenities you could need with some fine pubs, shops and eateries. Why not enjoy a wonderful walk along the River Aire from the doorstep, which will take you towards the historic town of Skipton, with its 900-year old castle and quaint cobbled streets. Embsay Steam Railway is only a mile away from there and operates regularly towards picturesque Bolton Abbey. The famous limestone cliffs of Malham Cove are just 7 miles from Gargrave and are well worth visiting.The Yorkshire Dales National Park, Harrogate, York and the Lake District are all within driving distance. Whether you choose Duck Cottage as a base to explore or simply to enjoy Gargrave itself, your only regret will be that you hadn’t booked for longer. Shop, pub and restaurant 175 yards.

We really enjoyed our stay at Duck cottage.
We really enjoyed our stay at Duck cottage. The owner was helpful and sent us lots of information ahead of arrival The location in Gargrave was ideal, with plenty of pubs, places to eat and a small grocery store just a few minutes walk away. There are many wonderful walks straight on your doorstep. The cottage was really well equipped with every comfort of home, very nice bedding and spacious rooms. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A relaxing cottage in a perfect location.
A relaxing cottage in a perfect location. Just a few minor issues with the standard of cleaning, a very greasy pan left in the drawer, dust on top of the cooker hood and light shades. The small freezer is in dire need of defrosting. Television not in the ideal position for viewing. Would however return again
