Cathy's Say

In a nutshell: Walks from doorstep, large grounds, up to 3 dogs welcome. These Dales cottages really will appeal to beer lovers! They are located in lower Wensleydale just outside Masham which boasts not just one, but two breweries, both making real ales in the traditional way. The Black Sheep Brewery and Theakstons Brewery both have excellent visitor centres and brewery tours. The Theakstons have been brewing beer in Masham for six generations and are best known for their dark, strong Old Peculier beer. However a family dispute occurred when they sold to a multi-national brewery in the 1990s which led to one of the family setting up his own brewery - hence the name Black Sheep.
