### Host & Stay | Dairy Cottages

Summary:  
Welcome to Dairy Cottages, a beautifully appointed holiday home on a quiet street in Masham. Close to all amenities, this cosy country cottage features two comfortable bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a relaxing living area with an indoor fireplace. Perfect for families and those with dogs, Dairy Cottages offers plenty to ensure a comfortable stay, including private parking. Explore the surrounding Yorkshire Dales National Park, discover local attractions, and enjoy this idyllic setting.  
  
The Space:  
Tucked away in the heart of Masham, just steps from the legendary White Bear Inn, Dairy Cottages is a delightful two-bedroom getaway that blends traditional charm with modern comfort. Whether you’re escaping for a weekend break, seeking a peaceful base for exploring Yorkshire, or simply looking for a snug home-from-home, this cottage is ready to welcome you in - ideally with a brew (or perhaps a pint from one of the town’s famous breweries).  
  
Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting lounge, complete with a crackling wood-burning stove - perfect for curling up with a good book, sharing a bottle of wine, or sneaking in a well-earned nap.   
  
The stylish kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including white goods and space for a dining table, making it just as suited to hearty breakfasts as it is to cosy evening suppers.  
  
Upstairs, the main double bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a substantial king-size bed, while the second bedroom is a cosy small double. Please note that the bed in bedroom two is only a three-quarters size so this may not be suitable for two adults.  
  
The bathroom is thoughtfully finished with a bath and shower over, underfloor heating, and a heated towel rail to keep things extra cosy.  
  
Step outside and you’ll find private parking for one car, along with Masham’s vibrant market town life just a short stroll away.  
  
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a base for exploring, or simply a peaceful place to unwind, Dairy Cottage is a little slice of Masham charm just waiting for you.
