*PLEASE NOTE* *Although inside the bathroom is spacious and full height, the doorway is only 5 feet high and may be difficult to negotiate if less mobile/agile. *The bedroom featuring 2 single beds is not wide enough to push the beds together to make a double which may affect the comfort of a second couple if booking the cottage for two couples. Please ensure the second couple are happy with this arrangement prior to booking to avoid disappointment.
*Our friendly neighbours leave the space outside the back door free for our guests, however as it's on a public road the space can't be guaranteed *As this is an underdwelling please expect to hear everyday living noises from the neighbours above and consideration with regards to noise must also given to them. *As we welcome dogs completely free of charge we do not expect to clean up after them so please only book if you are prepared to clean up after them. We appreciate your cooperation in this.

Quirky Cottage

The Old Wash Kitchen is a lovely Quirky Cottage with exposed beams and Yorkshire stone. It’s an upside down house with the living quarters on the first floor and the bedrooms on the ground. Full of character down to the bathroom which I assume was the coal cellar, you need to be careful of the door which is hobbit sized but the kids will love it. A good size for a small family holiday. Lovely comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. And above all a gorgeous view from the lounge window of the Yorkshire countryside. The property is in a pretty village in a quiet lane overlooking a stream with enough shops close by for anything you may have forgotten to take.

Lovely homely cottage
Lovely homely cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Wash Kitchen, the cottage is comfortable and homely, and was a good size for us as a family of 4. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It is set in a lovely quiet location, with plenty of local walks and a short drive into the peaks. The breakfast welcome pack was a thoughtful little extra and was absolutely delicious - so nice that the butter and marmalade are sourced locally. The hosts made it clear that they were there if we had any problems and needed to contact them, thankfully the need didn't arise during our stay. We would definitely recommend a stay at The Old Wash Kitchen and hope to be back again in the future.
