Enjoy the best of Yorkshire life with scenic walks and cosy pubs just moments away, staying in the peaceful village of Thwaite in picturesque Upper Swaledale. This stone cottage forms one half of a semi-detached pair, surrounded by breathtaking countryside, with the neighbouring cottage also available to rent for larger groups holidaying together. Sleeping up to five guests, the property features a welcoming family bedroom, making it an excellent choice for those travelling with children. Thwaite itself is a quintessential Yorkshire village, complete with a traditional country pub, local shop, and stunning scenery that encourages guests to slow down and embrace village life.
This beautifully converted farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated to provide every modern comfort, with cosy furnishings and contemporary appliances throughout. At the heart of the home is the modern kitchen/diner, fully equipped for preparing family meals and centred around a sociable dining table. Next door, the inviting lounge features comfortable seating arranged around a coal-effect electric fire and TV, while the windows frame remarkable views of the surrounding hills. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms, each served by its own bathroom for added privacy and convenience. One bedroom is arranged as a double, while the second is a family room with both a double and single bed. Outside, the shared south-facing garden is a wonderful spot to relax in the sunshine, and private parking is available at the front of the property.
This location is ideal for keen walkers and cyclists, with the Pennine Way crossing close to the cottage and both the James Herriot Way and Coast-to-Coast route passing nearby. Take to two wheels to explore Buttertubs Pass (2 miles), renowned for its dramatic scenery, or visit the beautiful Cotter Force waterfalls (7.5 miles). The bustling market town of Hawes (6.5 miles) is also within easy reach and is home to the Dales Countryside Museum and the famous Wensleydale Creamery.
