Tucked away at the end of a peaceful private drive, Dipper is a beautifully refurbished boutique retreat set within a historic converted mill in the heart of Malhamdale. Located on the second floor and accessed via stairs only (there is no lift), the apartment is surrounded by 8 acres of shared riverside grounds beside the River Aire, offering a calm and secluded escape designed for couples looking to slow down, switch off, and enjoy the Yorkshire Dales in comfort.
Blending original mill character with thoughtfully curated interiors, the apartment has been designed to feel warm, luxurious, and effortlessly relaxing in every season. Large windows fill the space with natural light and frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and river below, creating a peaceful atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
At the centre of the apartment is the striking two-person copper roll-top bath, creating a spa-like focal point perfect for long, indulgent evenings after a day exploring the Dales. The apartment also features a separate king-size bedroom, a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower, and a bright open-plan living and dining area designed for cosy evenings, slow mornings, and relaxed countryside stays.
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for comfortable longer stays or quiet evenings in, including an induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, and essential cookware. The living area includes comfortable seating, a Smart TV with Netflix, and a calm uncluttered layout designed to help guests properly unwind and recharge.
Outside, guests can enjoy the shared riverside gardens and seating areas beside the water, while private on-site parking provides easy and convenient access throughout your stay. Well-behaved dogs are also warmly welcome, making Dipper an ideal retreat for guests wanting to explore the countryside with their four-legged companion.
Set within one of the most iconic areas of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the apartment is perfectly positioned for exploring Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Janet’s Foss, and Malham Tarn, all within easy reach. Scenic walks begin directly from the doorstep, while the village of Malham is approximately a 30-minute walk away and offers welcoming pubs, cafés, and traditional Yorkshire charm. The nearby Victoria Inn is around a 15-minute walk from the apartment and provides a convenient option for relaxed food and drinks after a day outdoors.
Nearby Settle and Skipton offer independent shops, restaurants, cafés, markets, and local attractions, while the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway provides one of the most scenic train journeys in the UK.
Whether you are planning a romantic countryside escape, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, Dipper offers a memorable and restorative stay designed to help you reconnect, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales at your own pace.

Boutique Riverside Retreat with Copper Bath

We absolutely loved our stay at the property. It was a really cosy little place with everything we’d need. The whole place was spotless and a particular highlight was the bath. Would definitely recommend and would love to return in the future.

Cosy, spotless, would definitely recommend!

The location was perfect as we went to do the malham cove walk which was a short 5minute drive away. The bath was beautiful and everything was of high quality in the property.

Perfect location, beautiful bath, high quality!

Dipper is in a great location with Malham in easy walking distance with plenty of walks from the doorstep. The flat is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. It was great for a quick relaxing weekend away!

Great location, relaxing weekend away!

We just returned for our honeymoon! We love this place, Malham and the dales - very special to us!

We first stayed at Dipper 7 years ago

Everything to a very high standard. We slept like logs every night. Would very much like to return in the summer.
