Finished to a high standard throughout, this cottage offers comfortable, well-equipped accommodation for up to four people and utilises a combination of modern furnishings and original features.

The lovely courtyard garden provides an excellent spot for al fresco dining or sunbathing whilst there is an award winning pub serving real ales and fabulous food just a short walk away.
Situated in Wharfedale, the village of Burnsall is set on a bend in the River Wharfe and is framed by the dramatic backdrop of Burnsall Fell. The 12th Century church is considered to be the oldest construction in the village whilst the school is thought to be one of the oldest in Britain. The traditional Dales bridge with its five stone arches is another interesting feature of the settlement and is one of the town's most renowned landmarks. The surrounding countryside features a number of walks through the area, making it a wonderful place to stay whilst exploring the Dales. Local amenities include a small shop selling sweets and ice-cream as well as various essential goods, a pub with hotel, and a tea-room. Nearby Grassington and Skipton offer a wider range of amenities and Burnsall's river 'beach' is just a few minutes walk away.
From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?
Reviews of The Old Cobblers
"This was the second time we have stayed at The Old Cobblers, it is a perfect cottage in a brilliant location. Burnsall is an excellent base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales and The Old Cobblers is beautifully presented and has everything you could possibly want. We will return again and would never stay anywhere else in the Dales."

"This is a lovely cottage just a few steps away from the river Wharf and even fewer steps to the excellent Red Lion Pub. Just a couple words of warning: the bedrooms are upstairs and the beds are a little small (doubles not queens). Still it is a cozy cottage with a fairly well stocked kitchen for cooking and dining. Good for four people but more would be too crowded. Very nice and accommodating owners. Wonderful hiking. Indeed, we walked back from Bolton Abbey."

It is an easy stroll to the pub, the teashop (and they're both fantastic) and one of the Dales outstanding landmarks. There are superb walks either along the river or up into the hills. Just the perfect retreat."

"The kitchen was well equipped and contained all those little bits and pieces you never expect to find in a holiday cottage. The whole cottage was beautifully furnished and represented excellent value for money. It was a genuinely relaxing place to spend a week, and rates as the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We found ourselves referring to it as 'going home' at the end of each day out!"

"Of the many cottages we've stayed at this was the best-clean, comfortable and conveniently situated. It had all our needs, the shower was first-class, a nice deep bath and constant hot water, a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable sofas. We all felt very happy and comfortable. Given that the weather wasn't good, we still found plenty to do, witnessed the nearby river in full flow-an amazing spectacle - discovered two ace teashops nearby, enjoyed crossing the suspension bridge and had good walks and car tours. It was also a plus to stroll round to the pub on the first night for a meal and a pint."

"We had a lovely holiday. The cottage was well equipped, cosy and comfortable and had plenty of room for a family of 4. There were some nice extra touches like DVDs, books, a huge box of Lego and some basic provisions in the cupboards which always makes life easier when you arrive. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of Burnsall within a stone's throw of the Red Lion pub, the tea room and village shop. Our only small gripe was the parking situation as it wasn't the easiest thing to load and unload two children from the car to the house and maybe that should be made clearer in the house details, but that is the only thing that wasn't lovely. We would definitely consider going back."
