Some excerpts from the website of Littlebeck that might be useful
Littlebeck stands on 12th Century foundations which can still be seen. The present house was built circa 1840. Paul is a 'true' Yorkshireman Caroline originally from Leicestershire, moved North when the bright lights of Yorkshire beckoned. On visiting Kettlewell we fell in love with the village. We moved into Littlebeck in 2007 with its warm and friendly atmosphere. Littlebeck has been completely renovated to a very high standard, putting back many of its original period features. Littlebeck has been awarded four diamonds by the English Tourist Board and has three quality, individually furnished,
double rooms. All
rooms are en-
suite with large tiled
showers and a plentiful supply of hot water from the Aga. Our
bedrooms have colour
televisions,
courtesy trays, clock
radios and
hair dryers. Individually controlled
central heating and double glazing ensures that your stay is as warm as our welcome. For reading and relaxing there is a charming guest
lounge with a log fire to defrost on those chilly days. On warm and sunny days we have a large
patio area for guests to enjoy a
drink or read, relaxing to the sound of water flowing gently through the beck. Littlebeck has private off road
parking, together with a secure storage area for
bikes. We are also able to offer drying facilities on those unfortunate wet days. Caroline Paul Hatton. Littlebeck - The Green - Kettlewell - Skipton - North Yorkshire - BD23 5RD.
