Historic Whitefriars Lodge is a newly converted luxury four bedroom holiday cottage ideally located in the centre of the thriving market town of Settle with the benefit of private parking, exterior dining and bathrooms for all four bedrooms. Lovingly restored by the owners, the house has a new lease of life and awaits up to nine friends and family wishing to holiday in comfort in the Dales. The cottage features four generously sized bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and dining area. With quality restaurants, good local pubs, takeaways, cafes, a launderette, swimming pool, supermarkets and shops on your doorstep, Whitefriars Lodge is the perfect base to explore the Dales on foot, by cycle, car or train. Settle station is just a five minute walk away giving access to the historic Settle to Carlisle railway line. Settle is a great location for walkers, cyclists, climbers and cavers but is also a great base for visiting nearby attractions such as the beautiful village of Malham, historic Skipton with its medieval castle and bustling Kirkby Lonsdale. From the Lodge visitors can walk to the nearby Hoffman Kiln at Langcliffe, get a fantastic view over the Dales from Attermire or walk to Feizor or along the river to Knight Stainforth and enjoy a delicious coffee and cake at the local cafes. Intrepid walkers could use the Lodge as a base to tackle Yorkshire’s Three Peaks – the Lodge enjoys a view of Penyghent from the front door. Whitefriars is a historic property - a dwelling has occupied the site since the 1500s when it provided feeding, stabling and a loading area for the horse drawn carriages and carters of the day. In 1814 the property was rebuilt as the grand “White Hall” and the yards converted providing further stabling and a coach house. In the mid 1800s the house was served by four servants including a cook, two maids and a man to care for the horses and gardens. In its hey day as a great house the property and garden covered all of neighbouring Whitefriars Car Park and benefited from a grand winding entrance opposite the church. Guests can still see the historic greenhouse in the adjacent garden which grew produce for the “big house”. Photographs of the house during this period are displayed above the dining table so guests can imagine themselves living in the Lodge in the Downton era!

Reviews
Such a great location in lovely Settle. The spacious accommodation is clean, tidy and very comfortable with everything we needed. A home from home and I can highly recommend both Whitefriars Lodge and Settle.
This was a very nice place. Absolutely ideal for groups and families of all sorts to stay in. In our case this was a group of middle aged men, allowed out by our wives, having a debauched time of long walks in the beautiful countryside, trips to the pub, and nights of ultra-competitive Boggle, Scrabble and Articulate. Let no-one say we don't know how to have a good time. The house is well furnished, the beds are very comfy, the kitchen has what you need. All in all it ticks the boxes for staying in this lovely area.
We booked a week in August at this delightful holiday let in the centre of Settle. The accommodation was perfect for our needs - well thought out in terms of design and decor, more than adequately equipped for the week. A lovely welcome basket of tea, coffee and biscuits was gratefully received after a long drive. The location of the property was ideal - near to all the facilities of Settle (supermarkets, shops, train station) and only a short hop from the river walk. There was little to no noise from the nearby pubs and shops which was also good. The beds were comfortable and bedding good quality. The shower was AMAZING. I would heartily recommend this property.
Excellent house for 7 of us over a weekend. Good location for the town and to get to the hills. Would come again.
