Lovely location
Nice cottage with lovely views, but it is very dated. Almost like stepping back to the 1980s. Small very old freezer, carpeted kitchen/diner, avocado bathroom suite. Only one shower for 5 people. Host contacted us midweek to ask if things were OK (which I really didn't want to be bothered with), but didn't bother to call us when she found the bags my grand daughter had left behind. We had to call and ask if they were there. She was apparently upset by my comments in the Visitor's Book about the shower, the hard bed in the upstairs bedroom and the dated features. There is no dishwasher.

Clean cottage with beautiful views
Diane was helpful throughout the booking process and on arrival. The cottage was clean and the views were stunning. It was lovely to sit in the garden with a drink of an evening. Unfortunately we had a family emergency so had to leave earlier than planned. The space in the cottage was good and the kitchen was fully equipped for anyone cooking in there. It would have been nice to have a few basics such as tea, coffee and milk on arrival as there is no shop in Gunnerside. Would recommend the Kings Head pub in Gunnerside and Richmond was a lovely place to visit too.

Wonderful family holiday
Fantastic family friendly property in stunning surroundings. No problems at all with the cottage. The views are great- its a very peaceful place. Loved watching the lambs frollick in the fields, and so many pheasants and rabbits around too. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely recommend the cottage.

Walking holiday
East Roof is a very comfortable well located cottage with lovely views. These can be enjoyed by just sitting in the garden on a sunny day and it’s just a short 10 minute walk down the hill to Gunnerside village where there is a cafe and a friendly community pub. Head uphill for a beautiful walk to the village of Muker and return through the meadows by the river Swale - about 4.5 miles. Go up a track behind the cottage to do an 8 mile circular moors walk with spectacular views. So many beautiful walks to do from the property or drive a bit further to Thwaite and Keld for even more fabulous scenery.
