Nestled in Aysgarth, near Hawes in North Yorkshire, this delightful Grade II listed stone-built cottage offers a serene retreat for up to four guests. The property is ideally situated along the picturesque banks of the River Ure, just a short distance from the stunning Aysgarth Falls, which gained fame from its appearance in the film 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.'
