The beamed kitchen has plenty of equipment so you can rustle up all your favourite dishes. A winding stone staircase leads up to the first floor where you will find a refreshing shower room and two cosy bedrooms. There’s a charming single room and a pretty king-size room, which is accessed via a step up and features exposed stonework, a TV, a dressing table and views over Swaledale.

Heading outside, there’s a patio area to the front of the cottage, with five steps leading up to a large, decked area with a furnished summer house offering outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.

Quirky but not suitable for elderly or young children (big step into bedroom at the top of an awkward spiral stone staircase care needed). The summerhouse much enjoyed in spite of rain. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was small but well equipped.

This cottage is in a beautiful location with a view down Swaledale. It has a very comfy bed which is always great to find in a holiday cottage. Spent some time in the summerhouse drinking tea and reading.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house contains everything we needed. Since it was rather chilly, the heating was a bit of a problem (preset, no chopping facilities) and we wouln't reccomend the stairs for elderly, insecure people (rattert high narrow, steep) The location is great. Lovely places to eat and drink. Kristina and Franz

This will be the 3rd stay here & wont be our last. This time we stayed for 2 weeks. We love it here, the cottage is perfect, the views are amazing whatever the weather. We are so relaxed when we stay here we never want to leave. There are several walks from the door and a fabulous pub across the road. Love it all

A beautiful, cozy cottage with a lot of natural charm. It was a great pleasure to stay here for the weekend and enjoy the peace and quiet it had to offer. The view was wonderful and great to see in all weathers. The cottage itself was also a treat to cozy up and read a book or watch a dvd with a coffee or glass of wine.

Ideally placed for exploring Swaledale, a pretty cottage with the bonus of a little summer house to sit in and admire the view. The only negatives I would say are the steepness of the stairs to the first floor and the steep step from the main bedroom, otherwise, perfect.

A beautifully presented cottage. Furniture uncomfortable although looks lovely. Step up into main bedroom needs extra step, far too high. Informed on arrival no washing machine, resulting in us leaving a day earlier than booking as was easier option to visiting a launderette, if there even is one locally? Surprised there is no welcome pack on arrivRead moreal. Couldn't even have a brew! Poor considering the standard of property and cost. Would recommend but my points are valid and need addressing.
