Detached dales cottage sitting on one of two narrow twists and turns of Mill Lane, in a popular and historic village of Askrigg in wonderful Wensleydale. Enclosed patio garden to the rear. Cosy open fire. Bring your dog and enjoy the dales together. Plenty of walks, turn right and wander up Whitfield Gill, left to the River Ure. Travel a little further to Aysgarth Falls, Bolton Castle, Hawes, Leyburn.

School house was very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. We had cake, cheese and milk left which was very much appreciated.
The downside was that no heat came on with the storage heaters and we were cold especially in the mornings, although there was provisions to light the fire which we did on some of the evenings. It would have been helpful if a second handrail had been put in as stairs were very steep. We did enjoy staying there.

We spent a week at School House and have nothing but praise for the accommodation. It was spotlessly clean, warm, nicely furnished and well equipped. The location, too, is excellent with Askrigg being a super village in the heart of the Dales. It is not at all surprising that many of the comments in the guest book are by repeat visitors.

This simple two up two down cottage was comfortable.
It was very cold on arrival but we got the fire going and basically kept it going all weekend to maintain a cozy feel.( plenty of wood available in the cottage).
The cottage was clean and we were welcomed with fruit cake and cheese.
It was good value for the money .

The school house sits in the heart of Askrig, a very short walk to the village shop and pubs. The beds are very comfortable and the whole cottage warm and cosy. There’s everything you need for a trip to the Dales. I have stayed here before and will return again.

Very well appointed cottage. Well cared for and very homely. Booked again for summer. Everything clean and well equipped kitchen. Nothing lacking for us. Mel and Steve (caretakers) are lovely couple and leave fabulous homemade teabread on arrival. Very welcome with that first cuppa. Love the stone stairway and the secluded back garden but equally often sit out front and have a chat with people passing. I love every minute here and of course hope to be able to stay for many more years to come

An ideal cottage for a break in the lovely village of Askrigg. We have stayed here before, some years ago, but since then it is much improved. One to recommend and we look forward to a return visit. The Askrigg Brewery beer served in the King's Arms was the one that got our vote!

Excellent cottage and location. School House had everything you needed, lovely and very clean. Outside patio very secure for our little dog. We especially enjoyed having the log burner/fire and it was most appreciated that both types of fuel were readly available. On the whole we had a fantastic and relaxing stay, also Askrigg itself as it was a great little village as enjoyed having three drinking establishments to choose from right on your doorstep.Overall would definitely recommend School House and hope to be back to visit again in the near future.

The School House is a wonderful cottage in an amazing location. A fantastic place from which to explore the dales with plenty of long walks from the door step if you don’t want to move your car. All the facilities needed for four people including a log burner and an outdoor courtyard to BBQ if the weather allows. Askrigg village is a central hub for Wensleydale and has a real sense of community b
Country Hide Aways standards are exceptional and we always book with them if possible.

A cosy cottage in the centre of Askrigg. Parking for one car and dog friendly. Good WiFi so could use BBC iplayer as Bilsdale transmitter out of action. Beds very comfortable. Patio rather dingy.
If you have two cars, parking could be difficult at busy times. Covid precautions excellent.

We have now used Country Hideaways on several occasions and have always found the accommodation to be lovely and clean, School House is no exception, very compact, but everything you need for a week away. The cottage is located up a quiet side street and has a small enclosed rear yard with a small table and chairs outside, ideal if you have dog.
We ate at all three of the pubs in the village, all were good and numerous walks on the doorstep. Will definitely return again.
