Soak up the sunshine out in the pretty cottage garden at this stone cottage in Gunnerside. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway makes a perfect Yorkshire Dales retreat. Beautifully presented to combine character with comfort, there is a wood burner here to unwind beside in the evening after your exciting excursions. For day trips out, visit the bustling market town of Richmond, 17 miles away, or smaller Hawes, 11 miles from the cottage.

Stoke up the wood burner on chilly days in here then settle down in front of the Smart TV or with your holidays reads. Make your way into the kitchen/diner to start preparing dinner, then pour yourself a glass of wine to sip up at the central island as it cooks. Call the rest of your party through to join you when it is ready. Climb the stairs up to the first floor of the cottage when you are ready to head off to bed. Here you will find a king-size bedroom and a twin, as well as the family bathroom. Sit outside in the gorgeous, south-facing walled garden on fine days. Take in the views and soak up the serenity. There is parking for one car with the cottage.
