The area

Preston-under-Scar is a delightful village located close to Leyburn in Wensleydale. This peaceful village may not have a restaurant or pub to enjoy but the views across to Penhill are truly amazing. Redmire and Wensley are a short drive away and Leyburn is just three miles from the property so you are ideally placed to enjoy quirky shops and cafes, traditional pubs and a weekly market.

If you want to explore a little further afield, take a trip to Richmond. Visit a range of independent shops, cafés and pubs in the beautiful cobbled market place, and don't miss the spectacular Richmond Castle – one of the finest surviving Norman castles in the UK.

Sunshine Cottage will provide the perfect base to explore the local area and wider Yorkshire Dales region.

Getting around the Yorkshire Dales is quick and convenient with the towns and villages located so close together. You can use the Leeds-Morecambe line and the famous Settle-Carlisle line which give fantastic access to the Dales on one of the most spectacular train journeys in England.

Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you cross valleys, rise up over hills and wind round the country roads.

You can take the number 156, Little White Bus from Bainbridge, through Hawes and onto Gayle. In the opposite direction you can enjoy the drama of Aysgarth Falls and travel through to Leyburn at the heart of Wensleydale.

Teesside International Airport is 30 miles away from Preston-under-Scar.

“Sunshine cottage was a lovely place to stay. We were attending an event nearby and this was ideal for our time in the Dales. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped. the welcoming basket of goodies was much appreciated after our long journey. We would love to return next year.”

“Fantastic accommodation and just as hoped for. Everything that you’ll need has been considered. The location was great for exploring the Dales. nb There was a damage waiver fee of £25 or pay a damage deposit of £250 which is reimbursed after 14days!! and with a £10 admin charge 🤨”
