Cat Hole Cottages

High Hillways

Beautiful, well-equipped three-bedroomed cottage

Tucked away up a tiny, grassy lane in Gunnerside, High Hillways has been superbly renovated to provide a stunning hideaway retreat from the cares of the world. Beautifully decorated, with every modern convenience you could wish for, High Hillways nevertheless retains the old-fashioned charm and atmosphere of a typical dales cottage. Visited frequently by its owners for weekends and holidays, High Hillways is an ideal place from which to tour nearby beauty spots, ramble over the hills, or just relax and enjoy the timeless peace of beautiful Swaledale.

Sorry, no smoking or pets.
