Description

Welcome to Roof Farm Cottage

Roof Farm Cottage is a delightful self-catering holiday cottage with spectacular views within walking distance of the quiet village of Gunnerside, Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The cottage offers comfortable accommodation and magnificent panoramic views from the south-facing garden and commands a stunning view of the River Swale and the rolling countryside with its walled meadows and barns. Converted from a barn in 2001 this peaceful cottage boasts beautiful decor and modern conveniences within a traditional stone built cottage. The cottage is adjacent to the owners own home to ensure peace and quiet during your stay.

Roof Farm Cottage is perfectly situated for discovering this beautiful area or just relaxing. The converted barn sleeps four in two bedrooms, has a bathroom with a separate shower room, kitchen/diner and lounge, with fantastic views from all windows. The cottage is fully equipped, centrally heated and has unlimited Wi-Fi - a complete home from home in the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage is professionally cleaned on changeover day, all linen and towels are provided, together with all fuel. There is gated off-road parking for two vehicles next to the cottage. There is a no smoking policy in the property.

Gunnerside - five minutes walk away - has the Kings Head, a traditional Yorkshire Pub providing lunch and evening meals, a licensed tea room and a visiting fish and chip van on a Friday evening. In the nearby village of Muker there is the Farmers Arms, which also provides lunch and evening meals and a fine selection of local beers, an art gallery and Swaledale Woollens. Heading in the other direction, approximately one mile away, is a gastro pub, the Punch Bowl, in Low Row. The village of Reeth is only six miles away and offers further pubs, tea shops, newsagents, general stores, a garage, Post Office and many other art/craft shops. Keen cyclists can rent bikes from the Dales Bike Centre at Fremington, which is seven miles away. Those with a sense of adventure can visit the highest pub in England, Tan Hill Inn, which is ten miles away.
The village of Gunnerside is at the centre of Swaledale and is the ideal base for exploring one of the finest unspoilt dales with its famous lead mining history. There are an abundance of breathtaking walks straight from the door of the cottage, with The Pennine Way and Coast to Coast Path close by together with the newly opened Swale Trail which gives you twelve miles of cycle path from the door of the cottage.

Superb Cottage

By J & S Cuckow, Suffolk. on 05-Mar-2018

Our second stay in this wonderful cottage. The views are inspiring, the peace and quiet is so relaxing. When you stay at a cottage and think to yourself ''I would love to live here'’ you know that you have found a real gem. A comfortable and very well equipped place to stay. The owners, Rob and Sally, are so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and the best places to go. We will definitely be returning, many times I hope. March 2018.

Excellent

 Date of Stay 19 Aug 2016 The description does not do this cottage justice- a perfect location within swaledale. Superb views. One of the nicest bedrooms we have ever stayed in. We visited with our two preschoolers- so enjoyed kites/dams/tiny tiny walks and poohsticks. We also enjoyed the Reeth Show and utilised the little bus service for linear walks. The cottage itself was perfectly clean and all the little details thought of. Especially kind details for the children. Thank you so much, we felt really well looked after and rested :-) My Response Thank you so much for your kind comments on the cottage. It was lovely to meet you and we are delighted that you found plenty to occupy two small children for an adventurous fortnight. It would be lovely to see you again.

Another wonderful holiday at Roof Farm Cottage

By Annick R on 16-Jul-2016

Leafing through the Guest Book we noticed that several guests keep coming back to Roof Farm Cottage and that is no surprise at all! We spent our annual summer holidays for two years in a row in this lovely cottage and just like last year we were sad to leave after two wonderful weeks with great weather and lots of walks, some of them starting from the door. We discovered the travelling chippy (great!) and also some great new walks. Thank you Rob and Sally for letting us enjoy this lovely cottage! and please do give our best wishes to our friends at the King's Head, we spent many a pleasant evening there enjoying the delicious food and the good company. My Response Thank you for your lovely review. It is such a pleasure to have guests return especially two years in a row and travelling such a distance. You will always be welcome and we will aim to keep the cottage as homely and comfortable as we possible can ready for your next visit. Take care and hope to see you soon, Rob & Sally.

We had a wonderful week! The cottage is cosy and warm and has everything you need to for a comfortable and happy stay. The views are breathtaking and it's a joy having the sheep and newborn lambs just outside the door! We had beautiful weather and were able to eat outside on the terrace for 3 days. We loved the Kings Head pub in Gunnerside (5 minutes walk) which is friendly and serves the best chips we have ever tasted! Excellent menu. Our Border Collie Gracie was so happy with stunning walks straight from the door. Rob and Sally, you made our holiday perfect in every way, from the moment we contacted you right until we had vacated your lovely cottage. Thank you. We highly recommend this beautiful little cottage to anyone who is thinking of a holiday in Swaledale. My Response Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. it was really nice to meet you both and we are delighted that you enjoyed your week in the cottage and the weather stayed fine. We hope you return soon, it would be a pleasure to meet you again.

The cottage had everything we hoped for and more!

By P.B on 22-Sep-2015

Booking was completely hassle free and the owners so helpful and patient with my questions.. This lovely cosy cottage was even better than it sounded, so well equipped I kept discovering new items until the last day! Lots of extras provided. Lovely spacious lounge, workable kitchen ( we ate in most nights) and brilliant hot water /heating system. Everywhere tastefully decorated, well maintained, clean and user-friendly. The views were superb, we could have sat in the garden for hours! Watch the sunrise from the bedroom windows and the sunset from the lounge. Quiet and peaceful as promised. Amazing selection of games, books and CDs, great hi-fi too. Local pub/tea room staff were welcoming and the fish and chips from the travelling chippy on Friday night were worth braving the midges for :-) The surrounding area has so much to offer as well. Would love to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks Rob and Sally for offering your lovely property to others to enjoy. My Response Thank you, your comments are greatly appreciated. We try very hard to make the cottage a comfortable home from home and it is wonderful to receive such a generous review. We love giving others the opportunity to enjoy the cottage and the Dales. Thank you for taking the time to write such a glowing review and we hope you come back soon, you will always be welcome. With best wishes Rob & Sally.

A gem in Gunnerside

By Line R on 29-Jul-2015

Roof Farm Cottage is a lovely, cosy cottage with stunning views all around. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you might need. Excellent beds, too. The cottage was spotlessly clean and in impeccable order. Nice little patio for al fresco dining and enjoying the hills and wildlife. From our very first enquiry, we found the owners to be charming and extremely helpful. We enjoyed the bistro and pub, both at walking distance, for its excellent food and warm welcome. We had the most wonderful time, and so did our dog. This is certainly a cottage we would recommend. My Response Thank you for your terrific review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in the Yorkshire Dales and that the cottage lived up to your expectations. It is always reassuring to hear that our guests found the cottage welcoming, clean and comfortable and they leave relaxed and well rested. We look forward to welcoming you back. Thanks again. With best wishes Rob & Sally.
