Leave ReviewJust the place for a great stay in Swaledale.
By Andy Gannon on 22-Feb-2025Very comfortable stay in a great location on a quiet back road a short walk from Gunnerside. Stunning elevated views from all windows across Swaledale and a walled garden with picnic bench to enjoy sunny days. The cottage had excellent facilities with everything you could possibly want during your stay. Good parking and internet. Highly recommended!

Wonderful family holiday
By Josie M. on 27-May-2022Fantastic family friendly property in stunning surroundings. No problems at all with the cottage. The views are great- its a very peaceful place. Loved watching the lambs frollick in the fields, and so many pheasants and rabbits around too. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely recommend the cottage.
