About

The Yorkshire Dales

Carved from the rugged Pennine hills by ancient glaciers, gently eroded by rushing streams and then softened by meandering rivers, the Yorkshire Dales form one of the most varied and spectacular landscapes in Britain. Scenery so breathtaking and unspoilt that some 680 square miles have been protected as a National Park since 1954 – the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Consisting of many “dales”, great and small, the main dales of the National Park are made up of Wensleydale, Swaledale, Bishopdale, Coverdale, Raydale, Arkengarthdale, Littondale and Wharfedale.

The Yorkshire Dales has over 1200 miles of footpaths criss-crossing the valley floors and moors for you to enjoy

first hand. Sparkling waterfalls abound more than anywhere else in Britain. The Pennine Way passes through Hawes, and England’s highest waterfall Hardrow Force is close by. Be mesmerised by the falls at Aysgarth in mid Wensleydale. If you’re into searching out red squirrels experienced walkers now have the chance to enjoy a 10-mile there-and-back hike to a squirrel view point set up in woodland in Snaizeholme, near Hawes. Why not try out your map reading skills on an orienteering course or try some GPS fun with geocaching.

We have been taking holidays through Country Hideaways for many years now and have always found the customer service from Joanne and Nadine to be excellent - they're always very helpful and answer any queries promptly. We'd thoroughly recommend Hill Top Cottage in Walden for views that are second to none with a warm welcome from the owners. Thank you, Country Hideaways, for another excellent holiday.

Maria Eyre - August 2024

A wise man said that when travelling a person is "at the mercy of the kindness of strangers". Our recent stay at Holly Tree Cottage proved to be full of such evidence. From the kindness of our hosts Allan and Donna, to our welcome at the village coffee morning - from the the lady who invited us to look round her garden even to the weather which was far kinder than forecast. Country Hideaways continues to provide us with the best holiday service in some of the most wonderful properties in this incredible part of Yorkshire. Nadine and Joanne have not just become our favourite holiday brokers - we now look upon them as good friends. You can always rely on them!

David Shipley - July 2024

We have spent many wonderful holidays in West Burton and have always booked the cottages through Country Hideaways. The cottages have never failed to meet expectations, the booking process has been quick and efficient and the staff (real people) have been as kind and friendly as you could wish. I would thoroughly recommend the agency to anyone wanting to stay in the Wensleydale region.

Lynne Plowman - July 2024

I can't recommend Briar Cottage (Middleham) highly enough 5th time I have stayed there. Cottage has all facilities you need pet friendly close to all amenities and Joanne and Nadine are always helpful in the booking process all in all great value for money and I look forward to staying there next year.
