Description

The Old Dairy is a charming, recently refurbished and well-equipped character cottage situated in the picturesque village of Muker at the head of Swaledale.

Set in the heart of the North Yorkshire Dales this delightful cottage offers a rural and relaxing retreat. It overlooks Straw Beck and provides a beautiful setting in a truly stunning part of the National Park.

Inside the cottage you will find a lovely, newly installed fitted kitchen with everything you need to cook your meals.

In the lounge you’ll have ample space to relax and watch your favourite films whilst also providing a dining table and chairs for those cosy meals.

When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to a large king-sized bedroom with lovely views from the two windows, or to the smaller singe bedroom which again boasts stunning views.

The newly appointed bathroom is fitted with a large walk-in shower, ready to refresh you each morning.

In the beautiful village of Muker, you’ll find Muker Village Store & Teashop where you can stock up on essentials and enjoy a delicious breakfast or afternoon tea, and on the evenings you don’t feel like cooking make your way to the community owned Farmers Arms for a heartwarming meal in this traditional popular Dales pub, which was once visited by the now King Charles III.

Muker also hosts The Old School Art Gallery & Craft Centre with its displays from local artists and for some local history spend time in the Literary Institute where you’ll find fascinating photographs of years gone by.

The historic landscape of Swaledale is rich in wildlife, rivers and waterfalls, ancient paths and tracks and provides an ideal base. You will never run out of stunning walks and hikes, including Kisdon Force, Wain Wath waterfall, Ivelet and other quaint local villages all within walking distance from the cottage.

If you wish to explore the area further, take a drive over the scenic Buttertubs Pass, visit the town of Hawes or drive to the lovely market town of Richmond and explore its Castle, a well-preserved fortress that offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Also nearby is the imposing Bolton Castle offering a fascinating glimpse into life during the 14th century. Hardraw Force, which is England’s highest single drop waterfall, showcases the raw beauty of nature and Aysgarth Falls Yorkshire Dales National Park Visitor Centre where you can explore the stunning triple flight waterfall or take a leisurely stroll through the surrounding woodland.

The Old Dairy makes the perfect base to enjoy a relaxing break in this beautiful area.

Our stay coinciding with two major storms and a power cut, we really appreciated the comfort and warmth of the property, and Louise's thoughtfulness bringing a flask of hot water during the power cut.

Beautiful view from the cottage. Muker itself is lovely.
