The Old Mill in the village centre is now home to a needlecraft store and coffee shop, whilst all the amenities and attractions of Skipton town are close by.

Reviews of Pasture Cottage

"Chose the village of Embsay as friends and family live near by and my husband grew up here. The cottage had everything we needed and clear instructions are left which are very helpful. There are lovely views from the back of the cottage and we were lucky enough to sit out on the veranda with a cup of coffee/tea a couple of times. Parking was sometimes a problem but we usually found someone quite close. We spoke with one of the neighbours who was obviously a local and she was very friendly. We didn't have any issues but would imagine some people would struggle with the stairs."

"The cottage was lovely and warm and always lots of very hot water, the Rayburn was a lovely added bonus. The television in the sitting room was good and with a second one in the dining room was ideal, with our little granddaughter in tow, she could watch her programmes as she wanted. The open fire was very cosy, and added to the Christmas feel."

"Lovely location, view from living room is great. Handy for pubs in Embsay and steam railway to Bolton abbey. Not too far a drive for shops in Skipton. Well-equipped kitchen. Only real negative was lots of stairs as it's narrow and on three floors - which carrying a baby up was a bit wearing after a couple of days."
