Corner House - 3 Bedroom (Sleeps 5) Cottage in Yorkshire

Description

Nigel and Paula welcome you to Corner House in Grinton.

Our cottage is available for holiday bookings all year round. We accept short breaks of 3, 4 or 5 nights between November and March, and 7-night bookings only from Saturday to Saturday between April and October (also between November and March subject to availability).
Bordering the River Swale, the village of Grinton is in Upper Swaledale in North Yorkshire. Swaledale is one of the more northerly dales that make up the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its' higher fells are truly wild, making them wonderful to explore, either by car or on foot. At the lower levels, the landscape is one of dry stone walls, stone barns and meadows, where sheep graze in the peaceful surroundings.
Grinton is about 9 miles west of Richmond and 7 miles north of Leyburn. Both are market towns with a wide range of shops, restaurants and pubs. Closer still is the village of Reeth, just a 15-minute walk away across the fields or a 5-minute journey by car.
Situated in the middle of Grinton, Corner House was once the village shop before it became a family home. It was built using local stone and has a stone-slab roof. The house stands opposite Grinton's beautiful parish church. Often called "the cathedral of the dale", the church is dedicated to St Andrew and was, for centuries, the only church in the whole of Upper Swaledale, providing the only consecrated ground for burials. From the top end of the Dale, wicker coffins were carried some 16 miles on foot along what became known as “The Corpse Way”, mostly following the course of the river. Located at intervals along the path, several long stones - traditionally called "coffin stones" - are said to be where coffins were set down while pallbearers rested.
The cottage is also opposite the village's very popular (but quiet!) pub, The Bridge Inn. In its' early days, the pub was a coaching hostelry. Today, The Bridge Inn welcomes locals and tourists alike, even those with muddy boots and four paws! Many of our guests tell us about the warm welcome offered to them, as well as the pub's good restaurant meals, quiz nights and fun events.
Immediately behind Corner House, Grinton Beck trickles down to meet the River Swale 200 yards away. A perfect venue for riverside walks and picnics, it is a section of Alfred Wainwright’s 192-mile Coast to Coast path, from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire.
The 'Swale Trail' is also a favourite walking route, but there are plenty of choices for walks direct from the front door of Corner House.
We hope that our cottage's mix of period features and modern comforts, which include unlimited data wi-fi and modern electric radiators, will make your holiday stay both comfortable and relaxing at any time during the year. There is also a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room to provide extra comfort during the cooler months of the year.
Alongside the well-equipped kitchen, there is a spacious dining room with seating for 5 people.
Upstairs, there are 3 spacious bedrooms, each with room for a travel cot. Please note there are 4 steps down from the landing to the double bedroom at the back. Also, there are 2 steps down to the shower room and the adjoining cloakroom. each of which has a hand basin and WC.
Outside, there is a small patio garden to the front. Beside the cottage is a small area of common land (the village green), providing off-street parking for one car on a first-come, first-served basis. Further parking is available roadside in front of the house.
The cottage offers secure bike storage, and is the perfect spot to start many bike rides – both road and mountain bike rides. Just down the road from the cottage is the Dales Mountain Bike Centre in Fremington. If you don’t have a bike yourself, you can hire one there; they have a wide range available, including electric bikes.
Please note that our rental prices for Corner House are for 2 people, for both short breaks and 7-night bookings, and there is a small supplement to pay for additional guests, and also for a pet dog. Please note we accept one pet dog only.
