Christmas Cottage |
|
| A very attractive terraced cottage in Gunnerside, warm and cosy, yet spacious enough for two double bedrooms. Newly decorated and furnished, with a multi-fuel stove, Christmas Cottage has true Dales character, combined with modern convenience and comfort. The cottage is a lovely house from which to explore beautiful Swaledale on the doorstep and to return to after long walks in the crisp snow or over hills covered with purple heather. A gem of a cottage for a holiday to remember!
