A home from home in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales
A home from home in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales
Casper's Cottages are two beautiful period houses just yards away from one another in the centre of Askrigg, a picturesque and lively dales village right in the heart of Wensleydale.
Casper's Cottages is a family's labour of love involving Katy & Matt and their parents Julie, Mark, Linda & Chris. Having spent a week each summer holidaying in Askrigg for many years (from being toddlers in some cases) it is a village with a special place in our hearts. When the opportunity arose to purchase Wharton Cottage and Mildred House, both of which had been unchanged for many years and were in need of some TLC we just could not resist. As the next generation has recently arrived, it also presented the perfect opportunity for them to enjoy Askrigg just like we did.
It would have been selfish to keep the wonderful experiences that we continue to have in Askrigg all to ourselves and we really hope that our guests will enjoy holidaying in the village and exploring the Dales just as much a we have over the years!
Why Casper's? Casper is our much loved black labrador (and older brother of fox red Paco) who has given both houses and the village itself his all important seal of approval! We are happy to welcome dogs and have equipped the houses with various items to help keep your canines comfy.
Both Wharton Cottage and Mildred House are 3 bedroom properties, which have just been completely refurbished ready for our guests. Both properties boast stunning views and have gardens and patios for you to soak up the Yorkshire sun (or at least fresh air!), enjoy a BBQ and properly relax.

Askrigg itself has superb facilities for all of the family. The village is well served with three pubs all of which serve food and even its own brewery where you can take a tour or simply enjoy a beer or gin. The village also has a small general store, tea-room, bakery (the pork, chicken and stuffing pie is highly recommended) and artisan crafts shop, making it one of the best catered for villages in the Dales. Younger guests will enjoy the playgound, playing fields/sports areas or may be tempted to try some adventure sports at Low Mill Adventure Centre.
Askrigg makes a perfect base for exploring the local villages and towns (it is just 6 miles from Hawes with its famous Wensleydale Creamery) and there are numerous walks in and around the village. It's not just walkers who are well served; the area has some stunning cycle routes and is just a couple of miles from Semerwater where water sports enthusiasts can get their fix.
Let us help you get ready for your get-away!
If you have a question, just ask. We look forward to hearing from you.
