  • Little Dales Cottage is exceptional in all aspects! The location is wonderfully peaceful with picture perfect views from every window you look out of. The design and specification of the cottage is really high end and the hosts have thought of everything when it comes to amenities. We found fantastic walks in Gunnerside and Murker and even went to The Lakes on a day trip. The Punch Bowl pub in the village serve really fantastic food with a warm welcome. It’s the prefect Yorkshire cosy escape. We will definitely be returning!

  • We absolutely loved our stay here. The place was spotless and beautifully presented — you can tell a lot of care has gone into it. We arrived in the middle of a storm, and it instantly felt like home with the fireplace going, board games ready to play, and a fully equipped kitchen (thankfully we did a shop beforehand!). The views are stunning and the area is so peaceful and quiet — a perfect little escape. Would definitely stay again!

  • What a wonderful week we had at Little Dales Cottage. From the moment we arrived (other rain), we were struck by the charm and comfort of the cottage. Every detail has been thought through and we loved the little touches of the decor reflecting local artists. Beautiful views from every window and peaceful mornings. Locals and sheep were all friendly. Highly recommend a stay at Little Dales.

  • One of the nicest Air BnB’s we’ve ever stayed in! Little Dales Cottage is beautifully furnished, decorated and has everything you need. It feels more like a home than a rental property. Everything was of a really high quality and lots of lovely little touches from the hand lotion to the Lavender Oil spray next to the bed. We didn’t want to leave! The location is beautiful, so peaceful , gorgeous views and a great pub 2 mins walk away. Swaledale really does feel like another world where you can completely relax away from everything. Stephen the host is really friendly and responsive. Great stay and we will be back!
