About this property

Welcome to Dairy Cottages, a beautifully appointed holiday home on a quiet street in Masham. Close to all amenities, this cosy cottage features comfortable bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a relaxing living area with an indoor fireplace. Those with up to two small/medium dogs are welcome to stay as the property, although it's not deemed suitable for larger dogs. Explore the surrounding Yorkshire Dales National Park, discover local attractions, and enjoy this idyllic setting.

Tucked away in the heart of Masham, just steps from the legendary White Bear Inn, Dairy Cottages is a delightful two-bedroom getaway that blends traditional charm with modern comfort. Whether you’re escaping for a weekend break, seeking a peaceful base for exploring Yorkshire, or simply looking for a snug home-from-home, this cottage is ready to welcome you in - ideally with a brew (or perhaps a pint from one of the town’s famous breweries).

Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting lounge, complete with a crackling wood-burning stove - perfect for curling up with a good book, sharing a bottle of wine, or sneaking in a well-earned nap.

The stylish kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including white goods and space for a dining table, making it just as suited to hearty breakfasts as it is to cosy evening suppers.

Upstairs, the main double bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a substantial king-size bed, while the second bedroom is a cosy small double. Please note that the bed in bedroom two is only a three-quarters size so this may not be suitable for two adults.

The bathroom is thoughtfully finished with a bath and shower over, underfloor heating, and a heated towel rail to keep things extra cosy.

Step outside and you’ll find private parking for one car, along with Masham’s vibrant market town life just a short stroll away.

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a base for exploring, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, Dairy Cottage is a little slice of Masham charm just waiting for you.

Nestled on the edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, Masham is a charming market town renowned for its warm hospitality, historic character, and stunning countryside.

Within 200 metres you can pick up local produce from the butcher and greengrocer, enjoy fish and chips, browse galleries and gift shops, or relax in a cosy café. One of the largest in Yorkshire, Masham market square is home to a twice-weekly market and regular farmers’ markets showcasing local produce.

“Cottage was ideal for what we wanted, close to the town centre, pubs etc. Cottage was warm, plenty of hot water and there was all we needed in the kitchen. On site parking is a bonus. Would stay here again if we visited.”
