  • "We had an amazing stay."

    Such a cosy cottage but plenty of space and absolutely everything we could need. So well placed for exploring the area. We absolutely loved being able to walk to the train station and explore the Carlisle line. Thank you so much for the flapjack, milk, prosecco and doggy treats and for a brilliant stay.

  • "Harber Scar is a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location for the 3 peaks."

    It had everything you could possibly need and more. We loved cosy evenings in front of the fire after long walks with the dogs during the day. We also spent time visiting the Ribble head viaduct and had a fantastic lunch at the Station Inn as well as ingleton, Hawes and Settle. We will definitely return.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you loved cosy evenings in front of the fire with your dogs and found the location fabulous for exploring the local area. We look forward to welcoming you back to Harber Scar. Property Owner

  • "Lovely wee cottage."

    Very well equipped with comfy beds. Perfectly situated for walks from the village and a 5 minute walk from the station for further walks along the Settle Carlisle route if you don't want to use the car. Welcome goodies much appreciated! Garden dog friendly - but do check the gate to the road is closed. Dogs appreciated early morning and evening 'business' walks in the big fields over the bridge on the right hand side. Only complaint was the midges - but you can't do anything about that! Would certainly consider returning.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you would consider returning to Harber Scar. As you said the cottage is conveniently located to make the most of using the Settle to Carlisle railway if you want to start walks further a field and walk back to the village without using the car. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "We loved being at Harber Scar."

    Homemade flapjack and a bottle was waiting for us on arrival in this immaculate cottage. Everything was straightforward and easy; no long lists of dos and don'ts. The kitchen/ dining area was cosy but easily manageable for 4 adults and 2 dogs. The lounge is well presented and large. We had some occasional fires but the storage heaters kept the place toasty warm. There were people in one of the adjacent cottages but we didn't hear a peep. Everyone slept well so the beds get the thumbs up. Horton in Ribblesdale is perfect for walking the Dales (we managed all 3 peaks, but on separate days) and Settle is close enough for buying food and a pub meal. Parking was fine. We had one car outside the cottage and the other a short walk over the bridge. The Crown pub opposite is undergoing some changes and is for sale (a snip if you are in the market!) and we just popped in for a drink or two. The Station Inn at Ribblehead was a great find - expensive, but superb beer and the loaded fries were great value and very tasty. We definitely recommend this cottage without reservation.

  • "A lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful location."

    The cottage was comfortable, warm and brilliant (wood burner on when we arrived) and had everything you need for a fabulous stay in the beautiful Yorkshire Dale's. Lots of amazing places all within easy reach. The 3 peaks obviously, Pen Y Gent from the doorstep. Even the lane immediately right from the doorstep is lovely. Hawes 30 to 40 min drive away, Malham cove 20 mins or so. The Ingleton waterfalls 20 mins. Everywhere you drive, walk, look is beautiful....a very special place. Local shops in Settle not too far (as no food shops within Horton) but there was tasty flap Jack's, milk and prosseco on arrival! We didn't go in pub opposite, following looking at the reviews on trip advisor. : ) But my 8 year old neice found them hilarious. ("Only locals allowed in one area!") We didn't mind as had such a lovely cottage and plenty of lovely places to go. No signal for phones in cottage, but WiFi works fine. However quite like going to places with no phone signal! Highly reccomend this cottage. Look forward to coming back and finding more beautiful places to go. Thank you

We were welcomed with lovely flapjacks and some biscuits for the dogs which were very much appreciated. Harber Scar is in the perfect location for doing 1,2 or all 3 of the Yorkshire Peaks. It is also just a short walk to the train station. Settle is a short drive away for a selection of shops. There are 2 pubs in the village which we didn't make it to, as the comfy sofas and log burner were much more appealing after our long walk! We would definitely recommend.

    Loved the fire in the lounge at night, very cosy and relaxing. Very comfy beds too! A shame about the grumpy pub owner at The Crown who was very unwelcoming- the sooner a new owner is found, the better, as it’s wonderful to have a pub so close! It would be such an asset to the cottage. We had to sit out in the dark and cold with our drinks (as he wouldn’t allow us in with a dog). Thank you for a very pleasant stay! xx

    The cottage is very dog friendly and was ideal for taking my two Setters out early morning and last thing. I was a bit wary of the pub’s proximity and also tales of landlords unfriendliness but this proved unwarranted. Yes the front of the pub was busy over the weekend but only for a couple of hours as walkers came back from the hills for a pint or two. The pub landlord I found pleasant and parking my car was not an issue, but with all the great walks surrounding the cottage it stayed parked all week in front of the cottage . How refreshing to arrive at a cottage that didn’t make me feel I had to spend my last day cleaning it from top to bottom, after reading the note that said “It’s your holiday, but there are cleaning things available if you want them” I hope I left it in a reasonable condition! Thank you to Helen for her friendly help .

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Harber Scar and found it ideally placed for taking the dogs out directly from the door first thing in the morning and at night, the cottage is situated on the Pennine Way, with the footpath passing through the car park.

    the personal touch of a pint of milk so we could have a cup of tea on arrival to go with the homemade flapjacks that were left for us was a very thoughtful touch and much appreciated. will definitely come back

  • "Perfect spot for our Yorkshire 3 peaks trip."

    Very comfortable with everything you need provided. Opposite the pub. Tricky to get a space in the car park sometimes but it was a busy bank holiday weekend. Lovely cottage, we hope to return one day.

  • "Lovely cosy cottage with everything you need for a home from home."

    Great location for walking & visiting the lovely Dales towns. The Crown Hotel, opposite Harber Scar, doesn't allow dogs in the bar which rules it out of evening meals (leaving dogs in cottage alone not permitted) but the Golden Lion, 5 minutes walk down the road, welcomed them (beware of Saturday evenings though- bar will be packed with walkers & their kit until @8pm!!). I think the only downside were the huge quarry lorries that thunder past the cottage from @5.45am but they were noisiest in the two front(?) bedrooms.

  • "Fantastic base for exploring the Three Peaks."

    Cottage was clean and welcoming with a lovely log fire for the wetter and colder evenings. Surrounding scenery was beautiful and plenty to do for anyone that loves the outdoors. The kids loved playing in the stream although getting to it was tricky with the speed some cars came round the corners and over the bridges.

The property

A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle.

A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming multi fuel stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm.

Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby.

Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk!

A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
