Holiday in style with loved ones and pets at this pretty stone cottage in pretty Gunnerside, buried deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This two-storey retreat is brimming with character, with its quaint rustic decor enhancing its traditional charm. You’ll have scenic walks through unspoilt countryside accessible with no car and, to reward you when you return, a wonderful country pub 400 metres from your front door. With space for four over its two bedrooms, it’s just right for a family, a couple or two couples holidaying together.
Scale the stone staircase to reach the front door, then step into the homely kitchen/diner, which has an original flagstone floor and beamed ceiling. Cook up feasts in this farmhouse-style setting, then enjoy them all together at the four-seater dining table. The gorgeous lounge has two sash windows yielding inspiring views of Swaledale, to be savoured with a Dolce Gusto coffee from the machine. A Smart TV is on hand for when you want to put your feet up, while a wood burner ensure you stay cosy. At the front of the cottage, you’ll have a paved area where you can dine al fresco on mild evenings.
When it’s time to explore your surroundings, take the dogs for a walk in the Gunnerside Gill valley (2 miles) or embark on the 6-mile trek to Buttertubs, where 20-metre-deep limestone potholes offer a unique viewing experience – the views from here are truly spectacular. If you’re keen to experience Yorkshire town life, drive to Richmond (16 miles), where you can wander through pretty streets, visit the castle, indulge in some shopping and perhaps enjoy a show at the Georgian playhouse.
