About this cottage rental
Welcome to Intake Cottage and Swallows Byre in Swaledale.
Intake Cottage is beautifully situated between the villages of Low Row and Gunnerside in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. A classic example of an 18th Century Dales country cottage and part of an original farmhouse. It was originally used by the current owners as a World War II retreat. Since then the Kent’s have been refurbishing and maintaining, holidaying and letting Intake Cottage for over 35 years.
Intake Cottage is south facing and has a lovely country garden that enjoys panoramic views of the Yorkshire Dale and the river Swale (old English for ‘the wild one’) running a stone throws away. Swaledale is renowned for its wild flower meadows, sheep, dry stone walls, hay and cattle barns, lead-mining ruins and its fast flowing river.

Summary of reviewsGuests loved the picturesque and tranquil location, welcoming host Dorothy, and well-equipped cottage. They enjoyed lovely walks by the river and peaceful moments by the roaring fire.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2020
My wife and I wanted time out, peace and quiet. It was so picturesque and tranquil, we had some lovely walks by the river and never saw another person Dorothy made us so welcome, thank you we had a lovely time
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2020
Dorothy’s cottage is all you could wish for from the homely comfort to the views across to the hills opposite. It feels a much loved home and although small is really well equipped and meant holiday cooking was a pleasure
For some the lack of a washing machine might be a big issue but our only complaint is that it is advertised as having wi-fi (we chose it in favour of other wireless options) when in fact that barely functions and you are in effect cut off as there is no phone signal either.
Having said that we absolutely loved our stay in Intake cottage
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2020
Very impressive 18th century cottage in a beautiful location! Really enjoyed my stay here with my Nan and cousin. Dorothy was very polite and helpful, will definitely be coming to visit again in the future and would highly recommend!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2019
This was my second time staying at Intake Cottage and it was, once again, clean and welcoming. The garden was also well-maintained and a pleasure to look out on with spring daffodils replacing the apples and mallows of autumn. Communication with Dorothy was prompt. Thank you, Dorothy.
