Gorgeous Holiday Cottages in the Yorkshire Dales
GREAT NEWS!
We are now getting ready to reopen Kisdon and Lovely Seat cottages on Monday July 6th.
We can’t wait to welcome you back to stunning Swaledale. We have so missed sharing this beautiful part of the world with our guests and we know from talking to many of you that you too can’t wait to get away from everything and enjoy this haven of peace and tranquillity. The hills and dales are incredibly green after such a mix of sunshine and rain recently and in this vast open space, it is easy to find solitude. And the waterfalls are spectacular after the past few days of rain!
Local businesses are starting to open up. Muker Craft Gallery and Swaledale Woollens are already open. The Farmers Arms in Muker, Keld Lodge and the Tan Hill Inn open on July 4th and Wensleydale Creamery reopens next week along with many other local businesses in Swaledale and Wensleydale.
We are pleased to confirm we have been accredited by Visit England’s industry-standard Good to Go scheme which means we have a risk assessment in place and are following government guidelines in terms of cleaning protocols and social distancing. If you have any queries about a stay with us, please do get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Our availability for 2020 and 2021 is up to date on our website so if you fancy a holiday or short break, do take a look.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Kisdon, Angram, Swaledale
The perfect romantic retreat with private hot tub (with the best view in Yorkshire!) and infra red sauna. Ideal for a honeymoon, birthday/anniversary celebration or just a romantic break together. Beautifully appointed, modern and stylish. Stunning panoramic views and a gorgeous solid mahogany four poster – sit in bed and enjoy the views! En suite shower room. Sleeps two adults plus one medium sized dog (or two tiny ones!) at no extra charge.
Tea and views in bed. What a treat! Hot tub makes it special!
Paradise in Yorkshire! An amazing place to escape. Hot tub was very relaxing, especially with the extra bubbles! Thanks so much.
Lovely Seat, Angram, Swaledale
Gorgeous cottage with traditional exposed stone walls. Sleeps two plus up to three medium sized dogs at no extra charge. Private balcony with stunning views and cosy wood burner. Bedroom features a luxury super king bed. Bathroom with bath and over bath shower. Seating and dining space for four, so the perfect gathering place for two couples coming on holiday together in Kisdon and Lovely Seat.
We had high expectations of Lovely Seat and we weren’t disappointed. The views were unbelievable, the cottage is wonderful - nothing has been forgotten.
Thank you both for creating this little pocket of luxury. We’d love to come back in the summer (and sping and autumn!!)
