This cottage is perfect. Ticks all the boxes. Situated in a peaceful location and five minutes to pubs, cafes shops. We were very comfortable and it’s very clean. Everything you need is at hand. Reeth is a beautiful place. The scenery amazing. We had some lovely walks with our dogs. Also car tours over the wonderful moors. Visited Richmond and its castle. Great views from the top. There’s a nice walk from here along the riverbank to easby abbey. If the weather isn’t great there’s plenty of games and puzzles in the cottage as well as books and dvds. A picnic table outside and enclosed so good for our dogs. We will definitely come back and stay in this lovely cottage. Ps pubs etc do lovely food and are all dog friendly

Very disappointed in the cottage. You basically overlooked what was like a scrapyard. No instructions on how to use the heating . Overall cleanliness was not very good. The shower mat was black underneath. Certainly would not return.

Had a lovely holiday, with beautiful weather and plenty of local walks. The area is surrounded by stunning scenery, and is so peaceful and quiet.The cottage itself was quite comfortable and just a stroll away from the village centre.A few essentials would have been hugely appreciated. We arrived late, after a very long journey, and unfortunately all the local shops were closed.
