Duftons House »


An attractive cottage - nicely furnished, tastefully decorated, equipped to a high standard. Everything is included in the rent. In a wonderful setting perched on a fellside with panoramic views over the internationally acclaimed scenery of Upper Swaledale.

Well equipped kitchen/utility, a very comfortable lounge with an open fire, 3 bedrooms (one with an ensuite bathroom), a south facing sun trap garden with outdoor furniture. This is a deeply rural retreat, Dales style!





Duftons House, along with the adjoining cottage, is arranged around the immaculately kept farmyard at Oxnop Hall. The owners live in the Hal! and are very highly respected Upper Swaledale sheep breeders and farmers.

They remain on hand during your stay and would be pleased to assist with any enquiries you may have. Many windows in Duftons House overlook the fascinating comings and goings in the farmyard and farm buildings beyond. Other windows have lovely views over the Dale.
