Incredible location for walking and enjoying swaledale. House is comfortable and well provisioned, fantastic host. Whole place could do with a deep clean though and the mattress is knackered 😂 We had a great time

right up our street , the landlady is brilliant and wish i got to now her better . and we will go back for another visit ,but have to stay a bit longer. brilliant for walking ,plenty of info inside comfy cottage, felt compleetly chilled when we left and looking forwards to another visit .

This was the perfect place for a quiet few days. Boys loved exploring and being wild. Dog enjoyed the walking and the pubs.

Gunnerside is a very pretty village but quite remote from any major facilities. It depends what sort of holiday you are looking for really. The roads are not great for traveling on and it takes a while to get to anywhere you want to go but thats not always a bad thing it you enjoy the drive. Gunnerside is situated on the Swale and the cottage has a beck running at the base of the cottage but it isnt really accessible as the area surrounding the cottage is very overgrown. Its lovely to look out on though. Our children loved the River Swale and skimming stones and we went on a lovely walk to Muker although when we got there the pub, tea room and shop were all closed. This was a bit of theme for the holiday as things had not quite got back up and running due to covid. There is no phone signal either so best to book any restaurants in advance including the local pub who dont take kindly to none bookings as we found out. The cottage itself is quite dated but cute, and as said in some other reviews could do with a refresh here and there. Also we found the bed quite uncomfy but that could be just down to personal taste. The chickens were fun and the dog thankfully didnt chase them as we feared he might as that would have been a disaster. Cottage was well equipped and had a really good shower. We enjoyed a trip to Richmond, Thorpe Perrow and Aysgarth Falls.
