Aysgarth Nook is a traditional Wensleydale cottage that’s been transformed into a luxurious, modernist retreat. This bold and stylish, newly renovated property is filled with designer furniture and state of the art fittings at every turn, without ever diminishing its 300-year-old charm.

Aysgarth Lodge - lies in the heart of one of the most picturesque villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The neighbourhood is defined by its charming stone-built cottages, cobbled streets, and a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that reflects traditional rural life. Surrounded by rolling green hills and close to the River Ure, Askrigg offers scenic views and access to some of the Dales’ best walking routes. Along Main Street, you’ll find several beloved local pubs including the King’s Arms Hotel and the Crown Inn—both steeped in history and featured in the original All Creatures Great and Small series, which gives the village a touch of nostalgic charm that continues to draw visitors. The village also boasts a tearoom, deli, village shop, a brewery, and a selection of cosy B&Bs, ensuring both locals and tourists have their essentials nearby. Askrigg is a close-knit community with a primary school, a sports centre, and the stunning St Oswald’s Church—a Grade I listed medieval building known for having one of the finest nave ceilings in the region. The village’s historic market cross, 19th-century pump, and various ancient cairns and bridges add layers of heritage to the area. Community life is active, with a strong sense of pride in the village’s appearance and legacy. Recently, the church’s tower underwent restoration and was lime-washed, sparking mixed opinions among residents due to its striking colour, though experts state it reflects the building’s original appearance and protects it from damp.
