Gorgeous Holiday Cottages in the Yorkshire Dales
STUNNING SWALEDALE STARS ON BBC 4’S SPRING WALKS!
“I’ve travelled a lot of the world, but I’ve got to say I have never – EVER – seen anything this beautiful,” actor/comedian Nina Wadia on walking the Keld-Muker circular via East Gill Force and Kisdon Hill as part of BBC4’s Spring Walks series. You can do this walk directly from the doorstep of our cottages.
Nina clearly has good taste! Why not discover stunning Swaledale for yourself? We would love to welcome you to our cottages. See the Availability and Prices page to check availability and book securely online.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT KISDON COTTAGE
As some of you know, Chris hit the big 60 last year and I was also 60 this year. As a result, we are planning to open a lot less here in future so we can enjoy more leisure time.
Given that Kisdon is always so booked up, we have decided to only let it for three night weekends or four night midweek breaks so that more people are able to visit.
Lovely Seat remains the same as before and you can book three, four, seven or more nights.
ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING
Please note that there is no electric car charging point at Kisdon or Lovely Seat and on no account are guests permitted to use the electric sockets in the cottages for this purpose as this invalidates our insurance. There are charging points at the Yorkshire Dales National Park Centres in Hawes and Bainbridge, and also at the Tesco Superstore at Catterick Garrison.
