Welcome to Cottages of Thwaite

Our cottages Foss Garth cottage, East cottage and West cottage,
are in the picturesque village of Thwaite set in the beautiful valley of Swaledale.

Thwaite is a small village of traditional stone built houses at the head of Upper Swaledale.

Thwaite, the place name, is old Norse- it’s name dates from 900AD, “a meeting place of the Vikings” Swaledale is considered by may to be the most beautiful of the Yorkshire Dales.

With our family, having lived/living in Thwaite, we certainly agree.
