About this property

A delightful stone-built semi-detached cottage in the centre of the pretty rural village of Nateby, a mile from the market town of Kirkby Stephen. This Cumbria cottage provides warm, cosy accommodation with an unusual upside down layout, with the sitting room, kitchen and one bedroom on the first floor, and the shower room and second bedroom on the ground floor. In a lovely rural setting, the cottage is just a stone's throw from the centre of the village, with its quaint old houses and traditional local inn. Nearby Kirkby Stephen offers a wide array of shops, restaurants and pubs, while the Settle-Carlisle Railway line, the Howgill Fells, and the majestic Pendragon Castle - of Arthurian Legend - are all close by. A lovely Nateby cottage in a wonderful location, with both the Lake District and Dales National Parks within easy reach.

Sometimes referred to as the gateway to Swaledale and the Mallerstang Edge Moors, the pretty village of Nateby is located near the confluence of the River Eden, just over a mile from Kirkby Stephen. This rural, sleepy village boasts a traditional pub and a petrol station which also serves as the village shop. Composed of a scattering of dwellings and farmsteads built from the local Brockram stone, this village is within easy driving distance of the market town of Kirkby Stephen,once home to bobbin mills. Today, the settlement hosts a variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, catering for all tastes. Visitors can enjoy many excellent walks and cycle routes through the surrounding countryside, or alternatively explore the magnificent Howgill Fells and the Settle to Carlisle railway line.

  • Arnoud

    Only the kitchen is a bit small, especially if you are with 4 people. What we missed was a small freezer. Some more mood lighting (reading lighting, floor lamp) in the living room would also be nice.
