Briar Cottage, dating from the 18th century, has been renovated to reveal some of its original features and is part of a small, interesting, terrace which sits on the fringe of the cobbles looking out towards the torn ramparts of Middleham Castle. In the quiet, upper market place there are small formal gardens and ancient cobbled areas which compliment the pretty traditional stone cottages.

Entry, at the front of the cottage, is to a bright lounge with Victorian fireplace and a diningroom area with slate tiled floor which views out into the flagged courtyard. From the dining area there is a pretty, well equipped, fully fitted, shaker style kitchen and slate floor. To the side of the entrance lounge there is another cosy lounge which has a stone arched fireplace with multi-fuel stove.

A stairway rises from the lounge to a small landing serving three bedrooms and a and a shower room with electric shower, washbasin and toilet.. One bedroom has a double bed, one has twin beds and the other has a single day bed. The double and twin rooms view out over the cobbles towards the castle.

A stable door leads from the dining room to a courtyard with border gardens and a flagged patio area. This courtyard area can also be reached from the market place through a private alleyway, with a door, leading between the adjacent cottages.

Briar Cottage has been renovated to reveal wooden lintels above the windows and stone work. The use of half-glass doors allows natural light to warm and brighten all the rooms. A cosy cottage, full of character, provides a good high standard of accommodation.

    We have stayed at Briar Cottage so many times there can't be much wrong with it.It seems like home from home and have now made friends there.

    This was our first stay Briar cottage and we found it clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location for exploring the Dales. Not being pet owners ourselves we have often been put off from staying in accommodation that allows pets, worrying that hairs may be visible on the floor and furniture. This was not the case here as the cottage was spotless. We enjoyed watching the horses on their way to the gallops each morning after a great nights sleep in a very quiet town. We will return again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Middleham and are so glad we chose Briar Cottage. It felt spacious and had everything we needed. We slept so well - there were lovely pretty cotton duvet covers. It was so homely with lots of interesting pictures and objects. Parking was easily found and we appreciated being so near a shop and eating places. We would not hesitate to book again. Thank you.

    3 adults staying for a short break. Comfy beds, everything we needed (dishwasher would have been great but no idea where it could have fitted in). It’s a compact cottage but we didn’t feel we were getting in easy other’s way. The location was so good as we looked out over the castle and it was only a short walk to several good pubs -we had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Tack Room and staff were so friendly -plus great beer-in the Richard 111 pub. Loved watching the horses going past on their way to and from the gallops. Lots of lovely walking done as the weather was kind to us. We would stay here again without a doubt.
