Violet Cottage adjoins Whiteacre, a stone-built bungalow, facing south on the western fringe of the village sitting in nearly one acre of grounds, with a beautiful garden and bordering on open meadows. Entry is through a small porch into a cosy lounge with dining area which views over the front lawn and garden. Off the lounge are a small, well-equipped kitchen and a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and lovely views out over the lawns. Adjoining the bedroom is a bathroom with bath, shower, washbasin and toilet. Violet Cottage is relatively modern and compact but built in traditional style and has an air of warmth and tranquillity enhanced by the use of soft colours and comfortable furnishings offering a high standard of accommodation. The large lawn alongside and behind the cottage, with its flower borders and picnic table, is a lovely place to stroll or sit and muse at any time of day. Duvets and pillows are provided with linen and towels included in the rent. Oil fired central heating and electricity all included.

Here in the lower reaches of Wensleydale the Pennine peaks have been left behind, but still dominate the western horizon, and the river Ure begins its slow and twisting journey southward into the Vale of York. The countryside is rich rolling farmland with verdant, tree lined meadows, glorious cornfields and deciduous woods interspersed with stately houses and formal parkland. A softer landscape than the dales, running along the edge of the vale from Richmond in the north to Ripon in the south. There are many small and attractive villages to discover in the nearby area and lots of leisure and pleasure opportunities to enjoy both indoors and outdoors. Thirn is a small, linear village nestling halfway between the cobbled market towns of Bedale and Masham, gateways to the dales. A sleepy village, in a tranquil setting, away from main roads, but within easy reach of the dales and the Vale of York.
