Hillcrest Holiday Cottage - Low Row in Upper Swaledale

Full Description
Hillcrest Cottage stands on an elevated site on the edge of the village of Low Row in Upper Swaledale. The cottage is detached and its enviable position affords stunning views of the patchwork of walled meadows with the high fell beyond. Low Row, in the very heart of Swaledale, is the ideal base for a relaxing holiday in one of Yorkshire's most dramatically beautiful and unspoilt dales.

The Punchbowl Inn, renowned for its outstanding cuisine and friendly ambiance is just a short stroll away (less than 5 minutes). The village of Reeth, often referred to as 'the gateway to the dale' is a mere 4 miles away.

Hillcrest sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms, has 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, utility / boot room and the most charming first floor sitting room with wonderful views of the dale. With emphasis on guest comfort all our beds have top quality mattresses, dreamy duvets and luxury linen to ensure a good night's sleep.
Full central heating, log burning stoves, south facing garden and parking.

Hillcrest Cottage is south facing has the rare privilege of standing quietly on an elevated position yet still being with a village setting. The uninterrupted views from the cottage take your breath away and simply make you want to 'stand and stare'. The first floor sitting room; charming, light and airy is everyone's favourite and the perfect place to relax after a day out exploring the dales.
Hillcrest is surrounded by common land on which local farmers graze their sheep. They wander right up to the cottage boundary providing an added interest to your holiday.

Hillcrest Cottage is ideally situated for exploring the miles of walking paths in and around Low Row and Reeth including several paths adjacent to the abandoned lead mining buildings at Surrender Bridge and Old Gang. The newly opened Swale Trail starts (or finishes) in Reeth but you can pick it up at both ends of Low Row by crossing the river at Low Whita bridge or Isles bridge. The Swale Trail at the Reeth end of the dale is particularly family friendly with kind-on-the-legs paths plus bridleways and back roads that rarely see a vehicle.
Fremington Edge takes you up onto the moors above Reeth whilst the walk following Arkle beck is less challenging. There are lots of walking guides, maps and booklets in the cottage to help you get your bearings.

But we have more to offer than just walks! There are many fabulous family days out within easy reach of Hillcrest. The Wensleydale Creamery experience in Hawes tells the story of cheese making in the dales and Bolton Castle has falconry, armoury and wild boar!
But for a truely wizard day out visit the Forbidden Corner near Middleham. Quite honestly words cannot describe this fantasy playground in the depth of the countryside with shocks and surprises round every corner. A guaranteed day to remember!
