With a view to swoon for and a cosy country-cottage vibe, this gorgeous Grade II-listed holiday home in Swaledale is rather special. It's the perfect option for those who love to spend time in the stunning countryside, so get the walking boots on and strike out from the doorstep. Welcome to the scrumptious North Yorkshire. This pretty cottage is set on a hillside in beautiful Swaledale everything about it is just delightful, from the original stone fire-place in the sitting room to the classic styling and fabulous terrace.
Exuding character in every room, you can almost imagine that children's books were written here many years ago. That's not to say it's stuck in the past - far from it. You'll find every contemporary creature comfort here too, from Wi-Fi and a TV to underfloor heating and remote-control lighting. At the heart of this divine property is the open-plan living space. Dominated by a majestic inglenook stone fireplace and warm living-flame fire, it's the perfect place to curl up with that book you've been meaning to read for months. The kitchen sits alongside and is fully stocked with everything you could need to cook and dine in during your stay. With the teacups, saucers and traditional knives and forks there is a comforting traditional elegance about the place. There's also a dishwasher and a washing machine available.
Indulge in a long and lazy cooked breakfast then mosey over to the comfy sofas beside the fire to discover what's in the Sunday papers this week. Or sit a while inside one of the deep-set windows seats sipping a cup of tea and enjoying a homemade scone.
And so to bed; the handsome bedroom has a king-size bed which can be changed into two single beds if required. Settle in to the ambient surroundings - it's so peaceful and relaxing. High ceilings with exposed wooden beams frame this lovely room and fill it full of character. The bedroom has an en-suite with a bath and a large walk in shower. There is also a large walk in wardrobe with plenty of coat hangers and storage space.
Outside the cottage you'll find a sheltered terrace with the most incredible uninterrupted views of Kisdon Hill. The fields are simply stunning in the summer, Swaledale is famous for its wild-flower meadows, and we have been told the local goats which roam these fields can be very lively and fun to watch.
