This 17th century traditional Dales cottage is just off the village centre in Thwaite in Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It nestles within its original farm buildings and still has its cobbled back yard leading to the garden and the protected hay meadows beyond, with stunning views of Upper Swaledale.
Beamed ceilings, deepset windows and open fires in both living rooms contribute to the cosy feel of Stockdale, which is loved by everyone who stays in it. This is an excellent base to explore the area, whether it be on foot or by car, or you can just hide away and relax, whatever the weather or time of year. - 4 star grading awarded by Visit Britain recognising the quality and luxury of the cottage.
- The location is ideal, with walks from the door including the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast.
- There is easy access to the nearby towns of Hawes, Leyburn, Richmond, Barnard Castle and Kirkby Stephen.
- Waterfalls abound with Kisdon Force, Catrake Force and Wain Wath Force a mile or so away.
- There is a pub, restaurant and coffee shop in the village at the Kearton Hotel and a village shop, tea shop craft shops and pub in Muker 1 mile away.
 - Some of the best walking country in the area is on your doorstep, and you may wish to never use your car.
- We also have an arrangement with a local caterer, Granary Foods, who take the 'self' out of catering, and who make and supply everything that you need for a delicious Yorkshire Breakfast, and also provide a delicious range of home made meals, which can be delivered to the cottage for your arrival - just ask us for a copy of their menu.
