Gorgeous 3 bed cottage overlooking the Valley. Sleeps 5 people & 2 dogs, w/Wifi, gas central heating

Swale View is a detached, well-appointed Dales cottage in the rural village of Low Row in Swaledale close to Reeth and Gunnerside. Set in a tranquil spot at the edge of the village it has views across the farmland and meadows towards the River Swale. What’s more, it is also only a short walk to the local pub, The Punch Bowl, which is well known in the area for its delicious food, extensive wine list and well-kept, real ales.

This beautiful Swaledale holiday home dates back to the 1750’s and offers comfortable accommodation for 5 people and up to two well behaved dogs. The accommodation is warm and welcoming benefitting from fresh, modern décor mixed with traditional features such as inglenook fireplaces and beamed ceilings.

You enter into the cottage via a large porch, which incidentally, also doubles up as a drying room for wet coats and muddy boots, with an extractor fan and electric radiator thoughtfully positioned under a drying rack!

The rest of the down stairs comprises a spacious tiled entrance hall with the living room and kitchen leading off to the left and the right. The large farmhouse style kitchen has had no expense spared with; a bespoke oak kitchen counter and cupboards made by a local craftsman and luxury goods such as a Delonghi electric range cooker, a huge double Aga fridge freezer and a Smeg dishwasher. There are also many shelves filled with quality pots, pans, baking equipment and as many cooking utensils you can name…a home cooks dream!

Leading off from the kitchen is the dining room in the new extension. The dining table seats 6 people comfortably, and also benefits from a multi-fuel stove to create a warm ambiance for you and your party to retell the events from the day out hiking or exploring the dales.

The kitchen also benefits from French doors that lead out to the enclosed patio area to the front of the cottage. Which is the ideal place to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine on a warm summer evening.

The living room is fitted out with high quality furnishings including a large, comfy leather sofa, an arm chair, a 40” flat screen Smart TV and has a large multi-fuel stove situated in a grand inglenook fireplace as a central feature. The cottage also offers free WiFi and gas central heating throughout. Should further heating be required in the living room there is also a small but powerful wall mounted electric heater.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, the master bedroom is a very spacious king bedroom. Room two has a double bed with a sink area and room three is a cosy single bedroom. All three rooms enjoy views across the farmland towards the River Swale. The bathroom is also upstairs and comprises of a bath with shower over, basin, WC and an electric heater.

The area is packed with landmarks such as the remains of the lead mines and straight from the door you can enjoy many great walks and bike rides such as; a section of the coast to coast, a hike up Gunnerside Ghyll, or a gentle meander along the River Swale. You can also access the Swale Trail from Gunnerside, taking you either to Keld or Reeth. This is a new unsurfaced path for families who would like to ride bikes together but is also great for those wanting to walk a flatter route or perhaps have a buggy.

In addition to The Punch Bowl pub in the village of Low Row, there is the Kings Head 2 miles west in the beautiful village of Gunnerside, which serves really good pub food for lunch and dinner. There is also Ghyll Foot Tea Rooms and Bistro which serves lunches and teas all day, dinners 2 evenings a week and a very tasty Sunday lunch. 4 miles east is Reeth, a slightly larger village with a big village green, 3 pubs, 4 cafes, 2 bakeries, a hotel with bar and restaurant, a garage and village stores for all your essentials!

At Swale View there is ample parking for two cars on the private road leading to Swale View.

Swale View is one of our dog friendly holiday homes, two well behaved dogs welcome. There are a number of dog friendly pubs in the area and plenty of dog friendly walks close by which make this dales holiday cottage an ideal choice if you are looking for pet friendly accommodation.

To ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible all bed linen and towels are provided and electric and gas is included in the rental price. The owner is also nearby in a small barn to help if required

Great Swaledale Cottage!
We chose this property after reading lots of highly rated reviews by previous guests and the cottage lived up to the praise. Fantastic location in a quiet village with great views. The cottage was very homely and welcoming with some great attention to detail. The kitchen was well equipped with quality appliances and accessories. We were grateful for the generous welcome pack which came in useful. Highly recommended.

Beautiful old cottage in a stunning rural landscape
This is a real gem of a cottage situated on a small stretch of green lane with car parking nearby and everything is provided for your comfort. The owner lives opposite and he is very friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble! There is a tiny enclosed piece of garden and patio where it is safe to let the dog out and plenty of walks from the door including along the River Swale. There is a really good pub within five minutes walking distance in the village and it is just a short car journey to Reeth and Muker and Gunnerside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and plan to return later in the year!
