About Benmore

Benmore is a charmingly renovated stone cottage in the Swaledale village of Gunnerside. With space for six people in three bedrooms, Benmore combines traditional character with contemporary amenities, perfect for a peaceful self-catering holiday with family or friends. The ground floor features a cosy lounge with a new log burner and comfy sofas perfect for relaxing evenings. The fully equipped kitchen diner with a farmhouse table seating six opens to the pretty back garden through French doors. The primary bedroom on the ground floor has a super king-size bed with zip and link options and an adjacent luxury bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find a large king-size bedroom with views over the village, a double bedroom overlooking the garden and fells, and a smart luxury shower room. The rear south-facing courtyard garden offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the fells.

Gunnerside is a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is a gateway to world-class cycle routes, both on and off-road, with the Coast to Coast route and The Pennine Way passing through. You can store your bike securely in a stone building just over the road. For walkers, the breathtaking scenery of Swaledale offers endless trails right from your doorstep. After a day of adventure, you can enjoy a meal at the Kings Head community pub. Nearby, the larger village of Reeth offers more amenities, including a corner shop with a Post Office and several places to eat and drink. In the opposite direction, Muker is home to a pub, an art gallery, and shops, including the renowned Swaledale Woollens. For those willing to venture a bit further, scenic drives of about 30 minutes will take you to the charming towns of Richmond and Leyburn, both offering a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and historical attractions.

Book your stay at Benmore and experience the charm and beauty of Gunnerside and the surrounding Swaledale Valley. Whether you're here for outdoor adventures or relaxation, this delightful cottage is the perfect base for your holiday. If you are travelling with extended family or friends and need more space, check out the owner's sister property, Rose Cottage, in Low Row.
