Extra precautions during the covid-19 pandemic
We have now adopted a rigorous cleaning schedule which complies with all the industry recommendations for protection from Covid 19. We are going to supply each cottage with sanitisers, wipes, disposable gloves and extra cleaning products. A thorough detox of the cottage will be carried out before you arrive and wherever possible 24 hours or more will be allowed between guests checking out and checking in. This gives chance for the extra cleaning to take place. A full list of the schedule will be left in the cottage. We are part of the Air B&B ‘Committed to Clean’ Policy.
Our stay could not have been more comfortable and the cottage is absolutely lovely! Would not hesitate to come back and will be recommending The Courtyard to friends and family.

Situated in a designated 'Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty', ‘The Courtyard’ is a perfect base for visiting most of North and West Yorkshire as they are surrounded by the towns of Harrogate, Skipton, Ilkley, Pateley Bridge, Ripon, Thirsk and York. A short 15 minute drive will bring you onto the A65 which is the main artery to the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Timble may be tiny but is wonderfully situated for reaching all the surrounding towns, villages and cities. You will probably experience great difficulty in choosing where to go and what to do but we hope the brief selection below will give you a start!

It's lovely getting out and about in such a beautiful and interesting area but should you choose to stay more local you will find lots to occupy you. There are many walks and trails from your doorstep - no car needed! Perfect for gentle to the more challenging hikes. Great for cycling too - the whole area was fantastically shown off during the Tour De France a couple of years ago!
The Swinsty and Fewston reservoirs are just a 5 minute walk down Back Lane and are ideal for walking, picnics and fishing. Hopefully the above suggestions can tempt you a little!
