About this property
Miner's cottage in stunning Swaledale. No TV, internet or mobile phone signal.
Swaledale is a fantastic Yorkshire Dale for walking and Keld is famous for its waterfalls and is where the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast Walk cross.
Hawes and Kirkby Stephen are the local market towns, both within ten miles.
The cottage is basic with no luxury facilities but could appeal to back to nature lovers.
There is no television, no internet, no dishwasher, no washing machine and no central heating.
