Overview
Property code: 81457

A Grade II listed former School House is the essence of heart-warming Yorkshire country living, offering spacious accommodation for ten guests, enjoying an idyllic rural location with beautiful views and walks in every direction.

Sitting in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park, call this property home and settle in right away. Brimming with traditional features and snippets of contemporary style, its position in the pretty village of Gunnerside provides you with a great base from which to explore. Sleeping ten guests over five bedrooms, find yourselves with plenty of room to sneak off for some peace and quiet, or to join in the festivities and enjoy lively nights with loved ones. A pair of pups are welcomed too so you can revel in each other’s company and leave no one behind. A great getaway for those with a love of the great outdoors, you’ll find tracks and trails that wind their way from the local village so you can head out without having to jump in the car.

Dating back to the 17th Century, this gorgeous home has handfuls of traditional charm and country style. Exposed beams, fireplaces and a stone-built bread oven add plenty of character, which is beautifully complemented by the hints of contemporary style which flow throughout. Helping you from dawn ‘til dusk, the coffee machine is the perfect tool to get you out the door for early morning adventures, and the drinks fridge in the handy utility room cools your evening tipples. Bask in the sun all day long on the south-facing terrace. With a wood burner in each, choose from settling in the lounge or the snug and spend cosy time getting comfortable in front of the Smart TV or with a good book in hand. Adventurous days deserve peaceful nights and with five tranquil bedrooms to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice. One is reached via an open staircase, one resides on the ground floor and the remaining three are located on the first floor where a family bathroom has a bath perfect for a morning soak to start the day. There is off-road parking for two cars and roadside parking nearby, subject to availability.

We loved our stay in the Cottage, it was very well equipped and very comfortable. Gunnerside is a lovely little village in swaledale, with walks on the doorstep, a traditional pub a very short walk away, and within short driving distance of other villages across the dales. The bedrooms were well sized and the beds very comfy, the kitchen had great Read moreequipment and the living rooms were comfortable for relaxing on an evening.

Great location and a very well-appointed, well-developed house. The owners have definitely maximized the potential of the space. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room - I think as many as 9 could fit comfortably. All the amenities worked well. Martin was always responsive on email. Great trip, thanks!

The cottage is a comfortable stay in a picturesque area. The local pub is due to close down so be aware of this for future stays, as Reeth would be your next nearest I believe (a short drive away). It has all the essential amenities you should need, and the bedrooms are comfortable.
