Flax Mill Cottage is set within the historic Glasshouses Mill, a former flax and rope mill dating back to the 1800s, with ties to the local community.
Perched on the banks of the River Nidd, next to the beautiful Glasshouses Dam, this charming holiday cottage in the Yorkshire Dales offers a tranquil getaway for up to four guests and two dogs.
Redeveloped in 2020, the mill properties retain the sense of the past, but enjoy the modern conveniences of the present. Flax Mill Cottage has three floors and boasts two beautiful bedrooms; a stunning top floor with vaulted ceiling, KS bed and en-suite and a twin room with bathroom alongside on the middle floor. A well equipped kitchen, dining area and lounge complete the ground floor. Outside, there is a secure patio garden and allocated parking.
Picture yourself here—soaking in the peaceful surroundings, a warm cuppa in hand, watching the birds in flight around the mill.
