About our home
Our lovely Edwardian home is in the centre of the popular Yorkshire Dales village of Ingleton. It's perfect for a family looking for a holiday in the Dales and Lake District.
From your door, you can go straight up the mountain, swim in the heated village pool (summer months only) or walk the famous Ingleton Waterfalls Trail.
It's private and quiet, with no traffic, but only a minute to the village shops.
It's built high on the river bank next to the village church, facing west, so you can hear the water and see the woodland overlooking the river. The view is special, and the sunsets are occasionally spectacular.
The whole house was renovated in 2015. Good size kitchen-diner, and lovely sitting room with wood burning stove.
We're all set up for kids. The riverside park, with play area, village pool, and river for paddling, surrounds the bottom of the house.
There are four large bedrooms, so you can comfortably sleep six to eight people.
1. Super-king bed
2. King bed, en-suite
3. Double bed
4. Single bed
You can comfortably sit six at the kitchen table (more if you squash up; we could do with a bigger table). There are two plumbed showers and four WCs.
The terraced garden is work-in-progress, but there's a contained yard / sun terrace (if you're lucky!).
- We're a shoes-off house (please bring your slippers!).
- Sorry, no pets.
- We don't have a TV, but the Wifi is good.
- OK, the swimming pool isn't really our pool.... :-) It's owned and run by the village - but it's literally next to our house so you can walk there in your towel! Search for 'Ingleton Pool'.
- Due to the stairs and access, our house isn't really suitable for people with restricted mobility.
- Our house is very clean and comfortable. We'll treat your home just like ours, promise!

“This is our third autumn half term swap with Pete and family. A warm and cosy retreat from the inclement weather. Perfect for wonderful walks direct from their house for us and plenty of toys for our grandson. We returned, as before, to a clean and tidy house. Thank you once again ”
“This was our first house swap. Pete made it very easy. He was super helpful before the swap, answering my newbie questions about how things are usually done. We followed lots of his advice about where to go and what to do - it's a beautiful part of the country with so much to see and do. Pete also told us about a magical swimming spot in the river which we went to every morning. That almost made our holiday. The house is in the most perfect position. In the village but off the beaten track, with a beautiful garden (and lovely neighbours). And it's stylish and very comfortable inside. We had the most peculiar feeling of being at home but in Yorkshire. Importantly too, Pete and his family and friends looked after our house as though it was their home. It was immaculate when we returned. This was a brilliant experience. ”
“We loved our stay at Pete's house in the North Yorkshire Dales. It was the perfect get away location in the lovely village of Ingleton. We had great access to hikes and walks directly from the house as well as easy reach of other beautiful areas to explore. We spent one day in the Lake District which was only an hours drive away as well. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We also have a 5 year old son, so all the toys and books were perfect for him. Pete was very easy to communicate with and the whole swap went very well! Thanks guys for a lovely stay!”
“We had a wonderful stay at Pete and Mary's house. The house is in a fantastic location and was extremely tidy and clean. Pete left very helpful detailed information and communication was great. We were sad to leave but hope to be back.. my toddler keeps asking to return! ”
“Thank you so much Pete and Mary. What a perfect location for a long weekend at any time of year; in the centre of Ingleton and wonderful scenery. It was lovely to come back to your cosy home after a days walking. We would love to return when the weather is warmer to swim in the pool and see your new garden. Jacky and Keith”
“Beautiful house, perfect for family days out in a spectacular area, thanks!!!”
“This is such a lovely house near gorgeous countryside. The hosts were lovely to communicate with and we really enjoyed our long weekend. Thanks so much. ”
“We had a fantastic week in Pete's house in Ingleton. A great base for day trips to the Lake district, Yorkshire dales, Morecambe bay, Lancaster etc... We enjoyed the Waterfall walk in Ingleton and missed the crowds with an early start. House is great, village was lovely and had all the bare essentials like takeaways, pub, small supermarket etc.. Would highly recommend. Thanks Liz and family ”
“Fabulous stay at Pete and Mary’s beautiful home. Great location in the Dales. Thanks so much.”
“We have just returned from our first house swap with Pete and his family and what an absolute pleasure it has been. Pete and Mary were more than accommodating towards us and we had a wonderful stay in their period property. The house was very clean and comfortable. It is superbly located, private yet super close to the amenities of the village, the swimming pool and the playground which our children loved. Ingleton is a little gem and a great starting point for some stunning, scenic walks. Pete and his family were fantastic with all their pre-trip advice and looked after our house brilliantly in return. What terrific hosts and guests!”
“Pete and Mary's home is beautiful, the house is very stylish, with everything you could wish for and a whole top floor for the children which they loved! The location could not be better; right in the heart of Ingleton, with a heated outdoor village swimming pool, playground and river right at the bottom of the garden. The Ingleton waterfalls walk was magical, our children were mesmerised all the way round. You can stroll to the start from the house and it ends pretty much at the top of the lane. Amazing. Communication was perfect and when we returned home our house was immaculate. Great hosts and guests. Thanks so much for a super swap.”
“Thanks Pete for a lovely stay! The house was immaculate and in a lovely spot overlooking the river, handily close to great walks, gorgeous villages and all the delights the Dales and Lake District have to offer. Also handily within a 2 minute walk to great pubs and the best fish and chips I have had in a long while! Michael & Danielle ”
“Pete was so friendly and easy to communicate with. They were very respectful and wonderful to have to stay”
