South Steps Cottage

South Steps Cottage is located in the popular village of Gunnerside in Swaledale.  This stone-built property has been beautifully restored and has retained much of the original character. The property sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms and both rooms have Super-King beds. The cottage is within walking distance of the local tearooms and popular pub which serves home cooked meals.  South Steps benefits from a sunny terraced patio area to the front of the property and all the front windows have views over this magnificent Dale.  With high quality fixtures and fittings and a wood burning stove to cosy up in front of after a busy day exploring the local area, this would make an ideal holiday for family and friends looking to holiday in this beautiful part of The Yorkshire Dales National Park.
