About this property
Set in the small village of Thwaite, this two-bedroomed property promises a holiday that’s as laid-back or busy as you’d like. Stroll through the village – once home to pioneering wildlife photographers Richard and Cherry Kearton – and visit neighbouring Muker, or explore further afield by following the Pennine Way, James Herriot Way and Coast to Coast walk, all of which pass close by. Swaledale and Arkengarthdale, the two most northerly Yorkshire Dales, meet at Reeth (10 miles) where you’ll find a fine choice of pubs and eateries, while the bustling market town of Hawes is less than a 7-mile drive via the dramatic Buttertubs Pass. Enjoy more stunning scenery at Aysgarth (11.5 miles), famous for its three-stepped Falls, or with a cycle ride along the Swale Trail, a low-level route between Reeth and Keld (2.5 miles).
Parking at the front of the property makes light work of unloading luggage; step into the hallway to find space to store outdoor gear and easy access to a handy cloakroom, then unpack your self-catering supplies in the country-style kitchen/diner. Take a seat in the spacious lounge to watch TV and unwind; double doors open onto the rear garden. When it’s time to retire for the night, the ground floor bedroom offers flexibility for all, with both a double and a single bed plus its own en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the double bedroom sits conveniently close to a contemporary family-style bathroom.
South-facing, this welcoming rural residence shares an enclosed, lawned garden area with the neighbouring property, which is also available for booking should you wish to holiday as part of a larger party. Stone-built walls surround the hay meadows to the rear of the cottages – enjoy al fresco food and drinks as you take in the views towards Kidson Hill.
