Overview
Description
Bridge View is a characterful old stone house in the centre of the picturesque village of Gunnerside, Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Close by flows the bubbling beck passing under the bridge to join the river Swale. The old house has been adapted over hundreds of years being stables, shop and home to local folk. Some of the interior quirky nooks and crannies and uneven stone walls remain from long ago. The large windows provide good light and views of the village and surrounding hills. From the front door you can access miles of valley, riverside and moorland walks, bicycle routes in all directions without needing to use your car.​Bridge View is ideally situated for walkers, hikers, cyclists, mountain bikers, birdwatchers, photographers and families who want to explore the beautiful Dales countryside and for those interested in the lead mining and farming heritage. The Pennine Way, Coast to Coast route and the Swale Trail are nearby. Many of the moorland paths are traditional miner's routes to work and lead past now abandoned lead mine workings. Higher above the village it is barren, rugged and wild with peat moorland where the hardy Swaledale sheep roam. In contrast the gentle valley and riverside are host to lush pastures. Everywhere you experience the rich heritage of agricultural and mining settlements with the field barns, Churches, Chapels, pubs, village halls, Literary institutes etc .

Leave ReviewFabulous Cottage
By The Smiths on 15-Feb-2025Spent a great 4 days in Bridge View. This cottage is one of the best we have stayed in. Well equipped and well furnished. Great walks straight from the village and friendly local pub just over the bridge. The owner calling on us to make sure everything was OK was a nice touch.

fantastic cottage in beautiful village
By Rose Bradbury on 27-Sep-2024This was our 3rd stay in this beautiful cottage.The cottage has everything you need for a home from home break. It is clean and very very comfortable. The hosts Jan and Jeremy are fantastic and very informative . The welcome basket is a wonderful treat just in case you forget any necessaries . I cannot emphasise how lovely the cottage is . The location is great and there is parking outside which is always a bonus when going anywhere. There are loads of lovely walks on the doorstep and I must mention the local pub The Kings Arms. The food in there is lovely and the locals very welcoming.

Lovely Dales setting
By James on 10-Aug-2024A beautiful cottage in the heart of a small village. Walks in all directions from the front door. Local pub (57 steps away) did great meals. Would thoroughly recommend for a peaceful stay.
