Ruth & Stuart Evans
Nestling in the heart of the pretty village of Askrigg (remembered as Darrowby in All Creatures Great and Small), in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, overlooking St Oswald’s Church, our 18th Century cottage is packed with original charm and character, modern comforts and everything you could need for your Yorkshire Dales holiday. After a day exploring the Dales there really is nowhere better to come home to roost. With beautiful walks straight from the front door, a wonderful village Deli, coffee shops, handy village shop and 3 great pubs all within a couple of minutes' walk, this really is a great escape. There is no garden at The Roost, we are a town cottage in the centre of Askrigg. On street parking is available throughout the village on a first come, first served basis. We regret we are unable to accept pets. Because of the amount of original beams and woodwork in place, The Roost is a non-smoking property. Due to the age, character and original beams, the ceilings at The Roost are low.
Married since 2001 we were lucky enough to become custodians of this wonderful cottage in October 2016. Having been visiting the area for a long time, with family owning properties in the nearby village of Redmire, buying The Roost just felt right. Stuart is an ex-soldier, now working in software, and Ruth runs her own virtual business, so with both working in the world of technology it became increasingly important to escape the hectic pace of working life and just sit back from time to time, to re-charge and re-discover what it's all about. There are few places better to do that than the Yorkshire Dales and the opportunity of having their own little part of that was a dream come true. Ruth and Stuart have tried to make The Roost as comfortable as possible and want their guests to be able to unwind and recharge - we all deserve great holidays!
With beautiful walks straight from the front door, a wonderful village Deli, coffee shops, handy village shop and 3 great pubs all serving food and within a couple of minutes' walk, Askrigg really is a great escape.
