This traditional-style, Dales farmhouse has ample space both inside and out for groups of friends and families to relax and soak up the commanding views over Swaledale. The house is situated in the small village of Gunnerside, home to a handful of traditional Yorkshire pubs and tea rooms to frequent. There are a number of walking routes taking you along the picturesque river or into the heart of the stunning Yorkshire Dales. For those looking for something a little more bustling, just 10 miles away is the charming market town of Hawes, which is home to the world-famous Wensleydale Cheese and boasts an array of traditional shops and cafes. For a spot of history, visit the National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum or the restored Gayle Mill.

On warmer days open the doors leading to the rear patio area and enjoy a glass of fizz in the sunshine. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a picnic lunch or an evening meal which can be enjoyed together at the dining table whilst taking in the glorious views.  A couple of wide steps lead down to the living room. Cosy up in front of the wood-burner on the comfortable sofas whilst enjoying the views of the Dales from the large picture windows. The owners have also provided a selection of board games perfect for a bit of quality family time on an evening. There is also a downstairs WC and handy drying area. The landing leads to a comfortable twin bedroom as well as a king-size master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a double bedroom. Wake up to glorious views in both the master and double bedrooms which can be enjoyed from the window seats looking out across the Dales. A family bathroom completes the property.

Throstle Nest House is set in the beautiful setting of Swaledale. A quiet spot in the Yorkshire Dales. Beautiful views from the slightly elevated position of the house across the valley. The house was so cosy and well equipped. The heating was on when we arrived and the house lovely and warm on a cold November day. We had everything we needed in thRead moree kitchen to cook some delicious meals. Had one meal out at the nearby pub in Low Row. Did some lovely walks from the door. Would like to visit again in the summer months. Hide

What a place! We loved every minute at Throstle Nest House. Waking up to that magnificent view every morning was just what the doctor ordered. A wonderful house with everything you could possibly need, and more. Great walks straight from the front door, good pubs & food nearby, lovely walks from the nearby villages too. Perfect.
