A south-facing Dales cottage with views over the lovely village of Gunnerside, this rural retreat offers up an abundance of old-world charm. It’s within reach of a range of scenic walks including the Wain Wath and Kisdon waterfall trail, the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast walk, all less than 6 miles from your door. The market towns of Reeth and Hawes are both within 10 miles and offer shops, tea rooms and pubs – Hawes is even home to the wonderful Wensleydale Creamery. Aysgarth Falls is 12 miles away, while on a 20-mile trip, you can discover a host of curiosities at The Forbidden Corner. For more shopping or a theatre trip, Richmond is 18 miles away.
This traditional cottage has many original features such as beamed ceilings, an original bread oven, an open fire and flagstone floors. The heart of this country cottage is the eclectic lounge/kitchen/diner with comfortable and quirky furnishings, cosy seating, and a TV/DVD set. The kitchen worktops and appliances are set along the back wall, while a table and chairs for four are set beneath the front window so you can watch the world pass by over breakfast. A beautifully adorned open fireplace is available for use, and there’s even a delightful pantry area located up a couple of steps that has a stone-flagged floor and shelves. The inner hallway area also boasts wonderful stone-flagged flooring and plenty of storage for coats and boots. The double bedroom and twin room can both be found on the first floor and offer scenic rural views from the windows. There’s also a pretty bathroom with white tiling and wooden touches.
A small south-facing patio area is found at the front of the cottage where you can take a seat out and enjoy the views.
