Gatehouse - a stylish rural retreat in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

Gatehouse is set in the stunning Mallerstang Valley, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Sleeping up to 6 guests across 3 bedrooms, this charming Cumbrian cottage combines stylish interiors with plenty of space to gather, unwind and make the most of the surrounding scenery. With its large garden - complete with outdoor dining area, sauna hut and outdoor cold-water shower - and thoughtfully designed living spaces, it’s a perfect base for families and friends looking to escape to the hills.

The property has recently been meticulously renovated by Georgina Kentish (former Soho House architect). The interiors are a modern take on a traditional country cottage – relaxed, characterful and filled with carefully thought-through details that will make your stay feel special.

It is a great base for those looking to explore the great outdoors, including keen cyclists (Buttertubs Pass, anyone?), walkers (the nearest hills, Mallerstang Edge or Wild Boar Fell, are beautiful and often deserted) and wild-swimming enthusiasts. It is also well-suited for families, couples and small groups looking for a stylish base to explore the Yorkshire Dales, or to simply take things slow, curling up by the fire with a good book or soaking in the tub.

The nearest pub (in Nateby) is only a five minute drive away and the nearest town (KIrkby Stephen), is a ten minute drive away.

The property has high speed broadband.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a sauna or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Very well renovated property. Kitchen was fairly well equipped but missing a few things for anyone wanting to cook a lot. Beds were very comfortable. Slight downsides were that the bedroom with the bunk beds is accessed through one of the double bedrooms, which wasn't clear on the property information. The living room is very dark, both physically and in terms of the decor. Would have been great to have a second bathroom or at least a second loo - seemed like a lost opportunity not to convert the outhouse for this.
