伝統的なデールズストーンハウス、ウォーキングのすばらしい場所Swaledale

We have lived, or had a home, in North Yorkshire since 1978, and have grown to love the Yorkshire Dales, especially Swaledale. We have led a nomadic life for many years, which is the nature of being in the RAF. Now ‘retired’, we still have a nomadic lifestyle. In 1993, we purchased and restored a collection of old farm buildings at Le Haut Fresnay in Normandy. This is now our second home, where we spend several months of the year managing our 3 holiday cottages there. In 1996 we acquired Corner House in Grinton, which used to be our home during the winter months. Grinton and Le Haut Fresnay are delightful places, each different, but both homes we love and cherish. We invite you to come and share our enjoyment of them. You will not find a warmer welcome!

We have lived in Yorkshire for many years, near Bedale, known as the Gateway to the Dales. Years of showing the Dales to visitors had brought us to Grinton many times, passing Corner House each time. Most of our favourite places for visiting and pic-nicking, developed over time, are within a few miles of Grinton. When choosing a winter home, and a summer holiday cottage, we were looking for easy access to all the Dales have to offer, and easy access in the winter weather for ourselves. The latter can be quite a challenge sometimes, but the house has never disappointed us, and it fulfils all the criteria we set out for it. Of course, we fell in love with the views from all the windows. Grinton church is a constant delight, and the pub always offers a warm welcome. What more could you ask?

Grinton is in the very heart of Swaledale and nestles beside the River Swale. Corner House is right in the middle of Grinton and stands opposite the beautiful St Andrews Church, known as the 'Cathedral of the Dale'. Just across the road is The Bridge Inn, a thriving (but quiet !) country pub/restaurant with a wide menu of wholesome home-cooked food at reasonable prices. The location offers a wealth of walking opportunities - for ramblers and strollers alike - straight from the doorstep of Corner House. Or you can explore the scenic beauty of Swaledale, and Wensleydale next door, from the comfort of your car. This is 'James Herriott' country. There is much to see and do, and the property is now available for holiday lettings all year round.
