the gardens are pretty and spacious with well stocked borders, tables and chairs We provide picnic blankets too, but there is an unfenced deep pond and an unfenced drop into the car park at the back so children must be supervised at all times. Malham Cove and Haw Crag can be seen from the back garden. The garden at the front is smaller with a nice view of the church spire and the little viaduct over which steam trains can be seen if you are lucky. We provide bird seed for the bird table.
you will enjoy a private entrance and off road private parking for 3 cars, but you must promise to close the gates to keep out the nosey sheep and cows
in the surrounding fields, depending on the time of year, you will see spring lambs being born or gambling and pronking about, you may also see calves being born up until mid autumn
bell busk is a sleepy ancient hamlet, in a conservation area alongside the upper reaches of the river aire and otterburn beck It was once the main terminus for the Dales when we had a railway station and silk mill. Before that the Romans were here walking up and down our lane. There are lots of things to do round here with walks and cycle trails straight from your door. There are otters in the rivers, spot the king fishers too. At dusk, step outside to see bats and owls and then study the night sky without light pollution. The aurora can be seen from the garden during solar flares. We provide a dark sky resource pack.
we provide you with some local history about granny house and some information about bell busk and coniston cold in your welcome folder In the kitchen you will find a vast collection of information helping you to plan your day trips.
the coniston hall estate is nearby with opportunities for swimming, spa treatments, archery, off roading, clay pigeon shooting, fly fishing or just eating and drinking in the bars and restaurants, relaxing next to the log fire looking out over the lake Rustic pubs are just 2 miles away.
you can walk or cycle from the door, the pennine way is a few hundred yards to the east
gargrave is a 2 mile walk along a very gentle pretty lane or a 5 minute trip in the car You will find an excellent Co-op with good bread and fine wines, an award winning Indian restaurant, excellent fish and chip shop, 4 antique shops, 2 gastro pubs and remains of our Roman road submerged by the river but clearly visible. The pharmacy is there too.

the aonb of the forest of bowland is just down the road with the famous trough of bowland and gisburn forest which is excellent for mountain biking
you can wander round the picturesque villages of airton, linton, hetton, grassington, malham, kettlewell, haworth, hawes, kirkby lonsdale, clapham, ingleton, pateley bridge and embsay We shall tell you where our favourite pubs and tea shops are once you are here. If you are coming to shop, then do it in style in Skipton, Settle, Ilkley, Clitheroe, Harrogate, Ripon, Leeds and York.
skipton and settle are the nearest towns Both ancient: Skipton boasts a medieval castle, canal, river, 4 day market, and a museum with Shakespeare's First Folio. Settle is more like a big village and quite delightful.
for nature lovers, we provide you with bird seed so you can sit and watch our visitors with ease, we can lend you our bat detector too and if you want to see the salmon leaping then come and visit in october, they leap up the ribble at stainforth force
for geologists we have an example of just about every geological feature within a 20 mile radius, there are coral islands, faults, basins, hills, valleys, glacial moraine, erratics, caves, mines, quarries and rivers, the last ice age was here
for the archaeologists we have collected some leaflets that will guide you on local walks and we recommend a visit to the hoffmann kiln at langcliffe
for those of you interested in victorian mills and towns, we have the finest example of its kind at saltaire, just 40minutes in the car
if trains are your thing, then look no further, there is a steam train that runs from embsay to bolton abbey There are a lot of steam trains on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, so take a ride up to Haworth to have a look at where the Brontes lived. The nearby village of Hellifield provides the gateway station for the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway, described as the most beautiful train journey in England. The famous Ribblehead viaduct is not far away. Sometimes the steam engines puff along over the little Bell Busk viaduct while you are watching from the comfort of your armchair. The famous cardboard railway model kits are made in Bell Busk.

Summary: Granny House is a lovely house, very comfortable and welcoming. Great size for six adults, and beautiful garden to enjoy (and stargaze in!). Excellent walks nearby, including short walk to Haw Crag straight from the door and only a 13 minute drive from Malham. Great communication with Jeannie, our host, from booking through to check in/out. Would definitely return!
