Location Greenside Head Cottage is located just outside Ravenstonedale (1 mile) which provides two highly regarded inns, a nursery school, and the Fat Lamb Country Inn is less than a mile up the road.
Kirkby Stephen (5.6miles) has excellent facilities including a small supermarket, convenience stores, places to eat, a railway station with links to Leeds and Carlisle and a good selection of local shops.
The property is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and surrounded by breathtaking countryside.
