We will be back!

By Sue on 03-Jun-2024

We had a wonderful week at Christmas Cottage in May. The cottage had everything we needed for a week away, was very clean and ideally placed in the village. I loved the drying rack in the kitchen! The village pub was fabulous, the food was great, with decent helpings and the staff were so friendly. In fact everyone we met in the village was friendly. There are some lovely walks from the cottage and our pooch appreciated the beck that was close by to cool off in after a long walk! We will be back!

So comfortable and cozy

By Jacky on 22-Apr-2024

Lovely stay at Christmas Cottage. Everything you could need was in the cottage and it was so comfortable and cozy. Great location and peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

A true getaway...

By Helen on 19-Apr-2024

Had a fabulous stay in Christmas Cottage. We walked for miles (even in the Yorkshire weather) along some of the most interesting and beautiful trails we have done - and that’s saying something as we go to the Lake District most years. There’s no need to drive far other than for the shops. Amazingly well equipped kitchen and enough DVDs and puzzles to while away the rainiest of days. Highly recommend for a true getaway to a slightly slower pace of life!

Highly recommend!

By Morwenna on 07-Apr-2024

We had a wonderful stay at Christmas cottage. It’s a beautiful cottage and Gunnerside is a lovely small village. The local pub is fab and everyone was so friendly. Ruth and Trevor couldn’t have been nicer hosts. Perfect place for walking in the dales with multiple fantastic walks straight from the front door. Highly recommend!

Everywhere was immaculately clean
