Theas Cottage

Discover the astounding beauty of Swaledale when you retreat to this charming cottage in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, stone haven is 1 mile from Gunnerside, with its coffee shop and pub, and 9.5 miles from Hawes, with its many shops and eateries.

With two wood burners for winter relaxation and a pretty courtyard garden, this Yorkshire retreat is very much a sanctuary for all seasons. Wander inside to find gorgeous original features, such as flagstone floors and exposed beams.

The lounge, with its wood burner set into a beautiful stone fireplace, is a cosy space for watching the Smart TV or reading your books. The impressive kitchen/diner, where exquisite original features have also been worked into a beautiful finish, has everything you need to help you whip up delicious feasts.

Light the wood burner in here too to throw out a warming glow then enjoy a glass of wine at the table or in the window seat. There is also a useful utility room and WC downstairs and there are some stone steps between different levels.

Make your way up the stone staircase to the bedrooms at the end of each day. Equal care has gone into the design and furnishing of each of these spaces, which include two king-size bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom, and a twin with an en-suite shower room.

There is also a family bathroom. Bask in the sunshine out in the enclosed garden and absorb the scenic views.

Dine outside on warm evenings and have a glass of fizz under the stars. Venture 9.5 miles from the cottage to see enchanting Aysgarth Falls.

Arrange a day out to Richmond, 18 miles away, where you can wander the shops, dine out and spend time at the Norman castle. Delve into history at Muker's historic ruins (2 miles) or wander through the Swaledale Museum (7 miles).
