Lovely Seat - lovely name! Taking its name from a nearby hilltop, Lovely Seat is a traditional Dales cottage, furnished to a very high standard, which featured in The Times 'Top 50 Places for a Break' list and Yorkshire Life's 'Perfect for Stargazing' article.
The bedroom features an exposed stone wall and a fabulous super-king bed. The bathroom has a bath as well as an over-bath shower. The lounge contains a cosy wood-burning stove and a flat-screen TV/DVD/CD/radio. There's even free super-fast broadband via our own community microwave broadband scheme. In the kitchen/diner you'll find a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven, ceramic hob and microwave. Perhaps the greatest Wow! feature of Lovely Seat is the private balcony, with its stunning and far-reaching views along Upper Swaledale. Sit out there with a glass of wine on a balmy summer evening and you'll be in heaven... Swaledale is made for walking, and you'll find dozens of walks in easy reach: waterfall walks, flower-meadow walks, walks along breezy hillsides and walks through industrial archaeology. If you're a dog person (and we welcome two medium-sized dogs at no extra charge) then your furry friends will have the time of their lives. If you're a wildlife person, bring your binoculars and spot the curlews, lapwing, oystercatchers, mistle-thrush, woodpeckers, hares and weasels. (And when the sun goes down, you'll still want your binoculars; the Yorkshire Dales National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve, and Lovely Seat is about as far as you can be from light-pollution. Perhaps you'll spot a meteor-shower?) If you're visiting with another couple, consider looking at our sister cottage, Kisdon, which also sleeps two - you can be companionable and private, all at the same time!
