Old Ing is a remote Yorkshire Dales farmhouse high on the moors on the foothills of Pen-y-ghent, with stunning views across to Whernside and the Ribblehead Viaduct from the front gate and across the valley to Borrins Fell from the front garden. We are surrounded by a working farm, so the sheep are our only close neighbours. The perfect tranquil hideaway - no distractions except for incredible views! We have two newly renovated, large and comfortable guest rooms - one double and one twin - offering a peaceful escape. The beautifully designed rooms are decorated in restful colours that blend into the surrounding landscape. Both rooms have brand new mattresses and fresh bed linen for a perfect night's sleep. The spacious bathroom has a bath and shower and is shared between the two guest rooms only. Fluffy towels, shower/bath gel and shampoo are provided for guests. There is a large dining room that guests may use at any time, with a number of games and books that may be borrowed while you are here. You have use of the well-equipped kitchen, with well-stocked cupboard of herbs, spices, oil and seasonings as well as tea and coffee. There are amazing views from the front garden and patio, which guests are welcome to make use of. There is also a barbeque area and you are free to explore the rest of the currently somewhat wild garden!

I have a background in contemporary art and returned to live in the Yorkshire Dales after a long time away. I love exploring and have travelled widely across the world for work and pleasure. I lived in the Middle East for a few years and was able to explore much of the region. I love learning about people I meet and the many different kinds of places people call home. I have a good sense of humour, am pretty sociable but like and respect privacy too.

We are right up on the moors and there are walking and cycle trails on the doorstep, including the Pennine Way/Bridleway and Yorkshire 3 Peaks. This is also a dark skies area, so it's perfect for star gazing. We are about 30 minutes drive from the market town of Settle, where you will find supermarkets, local shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, medical centre, the wonderful Victoria Music Hall, a swimming pool and other general facilities.
