The space
This historic home's original 18th Century rustic features have been sympathetically enhanced with beautiful furnishings, bespoke original artwork and historical embellishments that echo the cottage’s mining heritage.

The beautiful south-facing open-plan living and dining space is the perfect place for leisurely meals, chilling after a long walk, or curling up in front of the log burner with a good book. Or for something more dynamic, dive into the high-speed fibre-optic broadband, Smart TV and full Sky entertainment package.

If you’re tempted to sample some of the wonderful local produce on offer, our fully equipped kitchen makes catering easy. Also located on the ground floor is the cosy bathroom with free-standing ornamental bath, hand-shower and a private view of your cottage garden.

Climb the original 18th Century staircase and you’ll find the spectacular vaulted ceiling master bedroom where you can wake up to expansive views of Swaledale and the friendly sheep in the adjacent field from your luxurious King-sized bed. The second bedroom, complete with Queen-sized bed and skylight views towards Marrick Moor, offers the cosiest of comfortable night’s sleep.

Outside is a walled front terrace, the perfect spot for an al fresco breakfast, hot chocolate or fizzy sundowners while you take in one of our spectacular sunsets. Or wrap up at night and marvel at the Milky Way, meteors and over 2000 stars often visible when skies are clear.

In addition to your front terrace, you can relax in Overdale Cottage’s private enclosed cottage garden, overflowing with wildflowers and vibrant blossoms in summertime.
