Crackpot Cottage

Welcome to Crackpot Cottage

​

Adjacent to the Coast To Coast, The Pennine Way, The Swale Trail and The Herriot Way

Crackpot Cottage is the ideal place to experience the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

​

There is plenty to do, walk and cycle in Swaledale but if you fancy going a little further afield we are only 30/40 minutes away from very renowned  sites in Wensleydale such as Castle Bolton, Penhill, Aysgarth Falls, Wensleydale Creamery, Hawes, Hardraw Force and Jervaulx Abbey.


We are a family-run smallholding. We grow our own fruit and vegetables and our hens provide us with fresh eggs daily.

​

We have two glamping venues in our grounds.

​

The food we serve and sell is mostly homemade. From bread to cheese, jam, ketchup, red onion chutney, gin, cakes and much more...

 
Situated in a small hamlet between Reeth and Gunnerside, we are surrounded by the most stunning Swaledale walks, including the renowned Muker - Keld circular and Gunnerside Gill. A gentle evening stroll from Crackpot Cottage will also take you to the outstanding Crackpot Falls or Summer Lodge.

​

If you don't fancy going out for dinner we provide a selection of meals and appetisers.

Check our menu at: Buon Appetito

​

For walkers and cyclists and all of our guests if requested we are able to provide extras services such as clothes drying, packed lunches, safe indoor bike storage, e-bikes battery charging and pick up/drop off.
