Swaledale Burrow is a little treasure on a working farm, nestled on a hill in Swaledale overlooking a babbling brook and surrounded by open hills. The property is a perfect retreat for a couple and their four legged friend with plenty of local walks and easy access to the rest of the Dales. Whilst compact it is very well laid out and there is everyRead morething provided for a perfect base to rest a weary head in comfort after a day exploring the area. Very highly recommended. Hide
