Overview
Property code: OC-DS666

A quaint stone cottage situated in the peaceful village of Gunnerside and ideally situated for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, this country abode is the perfect getaway for an outdoor-loving family or group of friends and their doggy duo. Your canine companions can enjoy a feast for the senses as you explore the winding lanes of Richmond and scope out the best independent coffee nooks, before stretching their paws and snoozing in front of the crackling wood burner.

This beautifully presented property is bursting with farmhouse charm and boasts flagstone flooring, calming neutral tones, and exposed wooden beams. Ascend the steps to the cottage entrance and step inside the light-dappled kitchen where the resident chef can whip up some post-adventure nibbles for the hungry pack. Tuck into a leisurely cooked breakfast beneath the beamed ceilings or pad through to the lounge, sink onto the comfortable sofas, and bask in the glow of the wood burner while you unwind with a film on the Smart TV or dive into a novel. Head upstairs for some well-earned beauty sleep in the thoughtful-styled bedrooms, consisting of a super-king-size and a twin. Fido and friends can sniff in the crisp country air from the patio while the humans perch with an al fresco aperitif.

Get tails wagging as you amble past the crumbling mine ruins and follow the moorland trail alongside Gunnerside Gill, 3 miles, and snap some blustery group photos for the family album. Scamper through dense woodland and watch the three-step waterfall cascading at Aysgarth Falls, 11 miles, or gear up for a guided tour through the ancient Easby Abbey, 17 miles, set against a wonderful backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales.

South Steps cottage is a very comfortable, well euipped holiday cottage in a lovely village. Having a parking spot was great, there is parking by the green but it was quite busy. You can walk from the door in every direction, long hikes or short strolls. There is a small shop and a bakery in Reeth a few miles away, so fine for the basics. We had aRead moren excellent dinner in the pub, it is very popular so worth booking beforehand. We had a really enjoyable week and would happily go back again. Hide

A lovely well cared for cottage in a lovely location. It benefits from a parking spot directly outside the cottage, it's a year round cottage as it's well heated. The pub is a few yards away (do check the opening hours if you are visiting off season) and there are plenty of walks in every direction either for a stroll or full on hike. I will happilRead morey go back when next in the Dales. Hide

A perfect place to stay to enjoy a quiet holiday in teh dales with great walks and views without the need to get in your car once you've arrived. The local pub is only 50 yards away, what could be better.
