This special Yorkshire retreat cottage for couples is named after the lad in charge of the whole stable block. The Head Lad was responsible for the welfare of the estate horses night and day so needed to live close by.

Fresh and inviting

Traditional pale oak floors and tongue and groove panelling are teamed with contemporary colours and textiles. It’s fresh and inviting in the summer, warm and cosy in winter.

Wash away your cares

Your modern en-suite includes a power shower to freshen up after a day exploring the Yorkshire countryside. The hot water supply is unlimited, thanks to our wood chip boiler.

Ground floor accessibility

Head Lad Cottage at Dalesend Cottages has its own parking next to the front door. There are 2 steps to get inside. Once inside the cottage, there are no further steps.

On your doorstep

The Yorkshire Dales is a glorious place to escape the city and relax. You can stroll down the drive and wander the 25 acres of private ancient parkland belonging to Patrick Brompton Hall. Want more of a day hike? Fantastic routes further up the dale are just a short drive away.
