Yorkshire Dales Stone Cottage. Wonderful Location for Walking in Swaledale | Cottage in Grinton
3 Bedroom Cottage in Fremington, Grinton
Nigel and Paula welcome you to Corner House in Grinton!
The cottage was our winter home for over 20 years, and our only UK base when not in Normandy managing our three holiday cottages there. We now spend most of the winter not far away in Northallerton, so Corner House is available for holiday bookings all year round.
Bordering the River Swale, the village of Grinton is in Upper Swaledale in North Yorkshire. Swaledale is one of the more northerly dales that make up the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its higher fells are truly wild, making them wonderful to explore, either by car or on foot. At the lower levels, the landscape is one of dry stone walls, stone barns and meadows, where sheep graze in the peaceful surroundings.
Grinton is about 9 miles west of Richmond and 7 miles north of Leyburn. Both are market towns which have a wide range of shops, banks, restaurants and pubs. Closer still is the village of Reeth, which is just a 15-minute walk away across the fields or a 5-minute journey by car.
Situated in the middle of Grinton, Corner House was once Grinton's village shop, before being used as a family home. It was built using local stone and has a stone-slab roof. The cottage is opposite the village's very popular (but quiet!) pub, The Bridge Inn. In its early days, the pub was a coaching hostelry. Today, The Bridge Inn welcomes locals and tourists alike, even those with muddy boots and four paws! Many of our guests tell us about the warm welcome offered to them, as well as the pub's good restaurant meals, quiz nights and fun events, such as musical and theme evenings.
At the back of Corner House, you can hear Grinton Beck, which trickles down to meet the River Swale 200 yards away. The River Swale is perfect for riverside walks and is part of Alfred Wainwright’s 192-mile Coast to Coast path, from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire.
Corner House is also opposite Grinton's beautiful parish church. Often called "the cathedral of the dale", Grinton church is dedicated to St Andrew and was, for centuries, the only church in the whole of Upper Swaledale. Fragments of the old Norman church remain, such as its font and the tower arch, which date from the late 12th century. Other parts of the building date from the late 13th or early14th century and the pulpit is Jacobean, but St Andrew's is now mainly a 15th-century rebuild. As the sole church in the upper dale, it provided the only consecrated ground for burials. From the top end of the Dale, wicker coffins were carried some 16 miles on foot along what became known as “The Corpse Way”, mostly following the course of the river. Located at intervals along the path, several long stones - traditionally called "coffin stones" - are said to be where coffins were set down while pallbearers rested.
The 'Swale Trail' is also a favourite walking route, but there are plenty of choices for walks direct from the front door of the cottage.
We hope that our cottage's mix of period features and modern comforts, which include unlimited data wi-fi fast fibre broadband and also wi-fi controlled electric radiators, will make your stay at Corner House both comfortable and relaxing at any time during the year.
The cottage can sleep up to five in three bedrooms, with room for a travel cot in any of the rooms - and there are wonderful views from all the principal rooms. And you are welcome to bring one pet dog with you!
