Accommodation Description

Swale View is a beautifully restored 18th-century Swaledale holiday cottage tucked away in a peaceful spot on the edge of Low Row, offering expansive views across meadows and farmland towards the River Swale. Blending rustic charm with stylish modern comforts, this detached Dales holiday cottage is the perfect choice for families or couples seeking a relaxing base in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Whether you’re exploring the nearby walking trails, soaking up the view from the enclosed garden area, or curling up by the fire after a day of adventure, Swale View promises a memorable stay in one of Yorkshire’s most unspoiled valleys.

Your Swaledale Stay Includes:

  • Sleeps 5
    Perfect for families or small groups, the cottage sleeps up to five guests across three charming bedrooms: a spacious king room, a double with its own washbasin, and a cosy single bedroom – each offering restful views of the surrounding meadows and hills.
  • Dog-Friendly
    Up to four well-behaved dogs are very welcome here. With riverside walks on the doorstep, dog-friendly pubs nearby, and a small, enclosed garden to enjoy, it’s a great choice for guests bringing four-legged friends along.
  • Traditional Charm & Cosy Ambience
    Swale View is full of period character, from its exposed beams to the impressive inglenook fireplace. Two wood-burning stoves add to the cottage’s warm, homely feel – perfect after a day exploring the Dales.
  • Modern Comforts for a Relaxing Stay
    Stay connected with free WiFi  (fibre Broadband) and unwind with a 40” Smart TV. Gas central heating keeps the cottage cosy year-round, and the generous porch with drying rack, radiator and extractor fan makes it easy to shake off muddy boots after a day on the trail.
  • A Cook’s Delight
    The bespoke oak kitchen has been crafted with care and packed with everything a home cook could want—Delonghi electric range cooker, large Aga fridge-freezer, Smeg dishwasher, and a full stock of quality cookware and utensils.
  • Bright, Sociable Dining Space
    The light-filled dining room in the cottage’s extension provides a welcoming space for shared meals, with a table for eight and a second wood-burning stove to create that perfect Dales evening atmosphere.
  • Charming Outdoor Space
    French doors from the kitchen open onto a small, enclosed garden—perfect for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a quiet drink in the fresh Dales air. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind and soak up the atmosphere of rural Swaledale.
  • Soothing Bath & Scenic Bedrooms
    The upstairs bathroom features a bath with shower over, WC, basin, and electric heater. Each bedroom has its own unique charm and lovely views across the patchwork of fields leading down to the River Swale.
  • Off-Road Parking
    Two cars can be parked safely and conveniently on the private road that leads to the cottage, meaning you’ll never struggle for a space—however far off the beaten path your day’s adventures take you.

 

Discover the Local Area

  • Walks from the Door
    Swale View is a perfect base for walkers and nature lovers. Step outside and straight into some of Swaledale’s most breathtaking landscapes. Wander along riverside paths towards Reeth, tackle the rugged and rewarding climb through Gunnerside Ghyll, or enjoy a gentler route along the Swale Trail—a family-friendly track ideal for cyclists, walkers, buggies and those seeking accessible adventures in the heart of the National Park.
  • The Punch Bowl Inn – Just a Stroll Away
    No need to drive for dinner—this much-loved country inn is just a short walk from the cottage. The Punch Bowl Inn is renowned across the Dales for its stylish yet relaxed dining, showcasing locally sourced produce, fine wines, and expertly kept real ales. Whether you’re popping in for a pint or sitting down for a memorable meal, it’s a true local gem.
  • Explore Gunnerside & Reeth
    Gunnerside (2 miles) is a picture-postcard village where you’ll find a welcoming pub, traditional tea room, and the stunning Gunnerside Gill walk—a favourite for its combination of dramatic scenery and rich lead mining history.
    Reeth (4 miles) offers a lively yet laid-back atmosphere with everything you need for a day out: three cosy pubs, artisan bakeries, cafes, art galleries, a local museum, and independent shops circling the expansive village green—all framed by classic Swaledale views.
  • Muker & Beyond
    West along the valley lies Muker, a charming village famous for its wildflower meadows in early summer, scenic walks year-round, and a thriving creative community. Visit the Old School Art Gallery, enjoy a pint at the Farmers Arms, or lace up your boots for hikes to Keld or over the tops to Thwaite and beyond.
  • Ideal for Cyclists
    a short drive away, the Dales Bike Centre in Fremington is a hub for cycling enthusiasts of all levels. Hire bikes, get route recommendations from local experts, or join a guided ride through the valleys and over the moors. And don’t miss their on-site café—the homemade cakes and coffee are legendary and well worth the trip.

LOCATION

Low Row

Low Row

The Coast to Coast walk passes very close by the village but for those that are not so keen on such a challenge, there are many less strenuous walks in the area. For example, there is a beautiful walk that takes you nearly all the way to Grinton on the banks of the River Swale at the foot of the valley. Whilst you stroll along the river bank you can take in the stunning views of the rolling hills either side of you, which is stunning on a summers day! ...

At the heart of Reeth is a triangular green, surrounded by the local community, pubs, teas rooms, restaurant and gift shops.

  1. John

    We chose this property after reading lots of highly rated reviews by previous guests and the cottage lived up to the praise. Fantastic location in a quiet village with great views. The cottage was very homely and welcoming with some great attention to detail. The kitchen was well equipped with quality appliances and accessories. We were grateful for the generous welcome pack which came in useful. Highly recommended.

  2. Elaine

    Swaleview is an exceptional holiday cottage in a stunning part of the Yorkshire Dales , so convenient for visiting the surrounding area & amazing views right from your front door. The holiday was made even better by the fact that the cottage is truly dog friendly !

  3. Sarah

    Lovely Stay at Swales View . Neil (the owner) was a great host … there if you needed him . We felt right at home straight away . Hope to return

  4. Ali

    Wonderful cottage, so peaceful and views were amazing. Cottage was well equipped and very homely. Owner made us very welcome and was nearby if we had any questions or issues. Thoroughly enjoyed a variety of stunning walks direct from the cottage, and also exploring local area. Best bit was enjoying morning coffee on the little patio, soaking in the view and enjoying the peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

  5. Val

    This is a real gem of a cottage situated on a small stretch of green lane with car parking nearby and everything is provided for your comfort. The owner lives opposite and he is very friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble! There is a tiny enclosed piece of garden and patio where it is safe to let the dog out and plenty of walks from the door including along the River Swale. There is a really good pub within five minutes walking distance in the village and it is just a short car journey to Reeth and Muker and Gunnerside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and plan to return later in the year!

  6. Zosia

    A beautiful place to stay. We walked, ran, fished, fed the lambs and barely used the car all week. The house is perfect with stunning views. Everything you need is there. It’s homely and the high quality kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Two log burners makes it really cosy. Views from the beds are wonderful. Neil (in the barn next to the house) was so helpful – even brought in our shopping and lit the fire for our arrival. The welcome pack was generous too!

  7. Dougie

    We had a great week in Swale View and it’s probably one of the best holiday homes we’ve stayed in. Really quiet, excellently equipped with everything you need and in a brilliant location. Really good value for money and we highly recommend.

  8. Dominic

    Great stay in a beautiful location. The cottage had plenty of space and was warm and comfortable. Great walks around, hopefully planning to stay again!

  9. Helen

  10. Dido

    I loved staying in Swale View and can’t think of a more relaxing weekend away. Everything was super easy and I look forward to returning one day soon! Hannah was really accommodating and couldn’t have been more helpful. A fab weekend and pleasure to organise ❤️ Thank you so much for your helpful and speedy responses. I really appreciated your efforts to make the weekend just right for us. I hope to stay again soon!

  11. Lynsey

  12. Sally

    Lovely homely, warm cottage with plenty of space for kids and a dog. We especially loved the cosy fire and excellent kitchen. Perfect location to enjoy this wonderful part of the world. Would book again.

  13. Emma

    Swale View is located in the quiet hamlet of Low Row. It’s a traditional cottage set back from the road on a dirt track. If you’re planning a mainly outdoors activity holiday, it’s a perfect base. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable beds, lots of hot water, great drying room and dog friendly. There is also a lovely multi fuel stove in the lounge, great for cosy nights in. We enjoyed our stay.

  14. Marcus

    We have just spent a fantastic two weeks in this stunning cottage. It’s very much felt like home from home so as a family we settled really quickly and it has everything you need for a self catering holiday. Neil, the owner, made us feel very welcome and was very attentive. The area and location is stunning and there are some beautiful walks to be had! We are already missing the cottage and will most certainly be back in the near future! I would highly recommend this Cottage as it is one of the very best ones we have stayed in!

    Thank you for the excellent communication throughout the booking and settling in process.

  15. Brian

    Lovely character stone cottage, everything worked and clean, and comfortable. Good location for laid back walking and cycling etc. Neil very helpful.

  16. Jane

    Wonderful cottage so well equipped and lovely treats on arrival! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

  17. Rose

    Great location. House was really well stocked and Neil was really helpful and welcoming. Hope we can come back again!

  18. Keiran

    The house was well equipped, clean, nicely furnished with great facilities and was ideal accommodation for us. The arrival and departure process was simple, parking was no problem and we’d certainly come back. The location in the village is great and the local pub is within walking distance serving great food and beer. Recommended!

  19. Marc

    Lovely place for relaxing quiet break away in beautiful part of the Country.

  20. Mark

    We had a great stay and loved the house. For us it was a walking weekend and we found the house perfect for walks from the door. We also appreciated how dog friendly it was. There’s also a rear pub in the village where we had a lovely evening meal and a lunch too.

  21. Gareth

    Gorgeous views, lovely house, and we were welcomed by Neill with fresh bread, butter and milk. Highly recommended!

  22. Lucy

    Perfect location. Beautiful house

  23. Elizabeth

    It’s very nice place and in a good location

  24. Claire

    Swale View is a wonderful cottage to stay in. It is very peaceful with beautiful views of Swaledale. The cottage is very comfortable and well kitted out. We were made very welcome. There are interesting walks with amazing views nearby.

  25. Phillip

    The cottage is idyllic, you could never get tired of the view. Neil was the perfect host, always on hand for advice on the area. Swaledale was a new area for us – exceeded our expectations. We will be back…. Thanks Neil

  26. Nicola

    A lovely cottage in a great location. Had everything that you needed. Host on hand to help. Good dog walks in local area, particularly enjoyed the walks along the river nearby and up in the hills.

  27. Ashini

    Lovely views, fantastic kitchen with everything you need and beautiful countryside at your doorstep. Wes had a wonderful stay.

  28. Emily

    We had the loveliest week at Swale View. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, and the view as gorgeous as the photos show. We would definitely book to go there again.

  29. Tom

    Excellent location, well kitted out and really smooth and relaxed communication / check in / stay. Highly recommended.

  30. Carol Barlow

    A fabulous place from which to explore Swaledale with or without dogs. An extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and well maintained cottage with all mod cons in the kitchen. The bed linen in particular was luxurious. Wonderful views and lots of great walks right on your doorstep along with bike riding the ‘Swale Trail’. I would recommend a visit to the Punchbowl – only a short walk from the house – a perfect end to a day exploring the Dales.

  31. Amanda

    Beautiful Views. Very Peaceful.

  32. Jamie

    The cottage was great we all loved it. The kitchen especially, and the sitting room were really well equipped and cosy.

  33. Laura

    Lovely cottage, very quiet but close enough to get in some good walks – the Swale Trail is great – along with lots of nearby pubs plus the Fish & Chips van on a Friday night. What could be better!

  34. Anne Wyatt

    Swale View was a good choice for a family reunion with 5 adults and one dog. The spacious kitchen, along with the separate dining and living rooms allowed us to do separate activities at times and not feel crowded. Welcomed the heated large porch area for loading and unloading the cars and muddy boots/coats. Little paved garden area was helpful for letting the dog out when needed. Cosy with the burners lit too.

    Hannah at Holiday Home Yorkshire was super helpful when we had one of two issues, responding very promptly and welcoming our feedback.

  35. Emma

    Swale View was a lovely cottage, beautiful views, lovely character and modern interior. Hannah was a great host, answered all our questions promptly and did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable. We would definitely go and stay here again!

  36. Sophie

    Beautiful spacious cottage with lovely views.

  37. Phil

    You want a fabulous view, quiet location, stylish house? It’s all there at Swaleview, lovely place and well appointed. Thoroughly recommend

  38. Rebecca

    Neil’s place is really beautiful. An absolute haven.

  39. Barbara

    Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting near to local pubs with good food. Some lovely walks nearby. Very well equipped kitchen. Would happily book again.
