Two self-catering haylofts in a stone barn of 1871, a mile up the dale from Oughtershaw on the rough lane beside Oughtershaw Beck, with the Dales Way passing the door. The farm is run for conservation across four hundred acres at the head of the Wharfe, which is exactly why the dog rules are firm: leads everywhere on the land, because of ground-nesting birds, free-range hens and stock. Two dogs are accepted by prior arrangement for a twenty pound cleaning charge, and they may go in the becks at their owner's risk. This is the last accommodation before Cam Fell and the Pennine Way, and the nearest pub is at Hubberholme, six miles down Langstrothdale.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
The infant Wharfe is called Oughtershaw Beck this high up, and the Dales Way follows it north-west out of the hamlet, first as a walled farm lane and then as a concrete-strip track past Nethergill to Swarthghyll. It is almost level and easy underfoot, which is rare in this dale, with the beck below on the left and the bare side of Oughtershaw Side opposite. Nethergill is run as a conservation farm, so there are lapwing, curlew and oystercatcher on the ground either side and very free-range hens around the buildings, and the farm asks walkers to lead dogs past. Swarthghyll is the sensible turning point: beyond it the Dales Way climbs onto Cam Fell with two miles of open moor and no shelter of any kind.
West Calf Cottage is a place to stay in Oughtershaw. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Nobody has written one for Nethergill Farm Haylofts. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
