About this property

This wonderful three-storey, mid-terrace house rests in the heart of Reeth, Richmondshire, surrounded by a great panorama of hills, moors and wildlife.

The perfect place to come if you want to get away from it all and enjoy quality time with your loved ones, the house is located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and enjoys exceptional views; so, you'll never be short of things to look at! There is on-street parking directly opposite for two cars with ample parking a short walk away in the village so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, getting out into nature then coming back to enjoy a relaxing evening inside. Make your way into the attractive and spacious abode to find two lovely living areas to unwind in, the first of which is a dining/living room offering dining for 12 with large bay window and exceptional views over the Dales. The second sitting room can be found nearby, and this tastefully furnished space not only offers fantastic seating for you to stretch out on, but also features a crackling woodburning stove, large TV and an array of books and boardgames to choose from! After relaxing together, head to the stylish, well-equipped, hand-painted country kitchen which boasts a wealth of integrated appliances, as well as an American-style fridge/freezer and an impressive AGA range with marble worktops; the chef of the group will certainly be pleased! After a sumptuous dinner has been fixed up, enjoy it in the dining room, or outside in the quaint front garden, where you can admire your peaceful surroundings during an alfresco dinner. Continue to the first floor to come across two super king-sizes one of which has an additional bed, both of which boast zip/link beds, for added flexibility, and en-suite shower rooms, as well as a double with a basin and access to the fabulous, family bathroom. Progress to the second floor to find two more fantastic bedrooms, a double and a twin; both rooms enjoy elevated views of the stunning countryside with binoculars and access to en-suite shower rooms. Get to know your surroundings by venturing into Reeth, a picturesque village which is famous for its proximity to the River Swale and world-class trout fishing, as well as being home to the delights of an award-winning bakery/café, ice cream parlour, village shop and three quintessentially Yorkshire Dales pubs; there's also a museum, if you want to learn about the local history! Venture a little further afield to Middleham, where the fantastic sights of Middleham Castle and the nearby Forbidden Corner can be explored, before returning to the market town for a pint at the Richard III Hotel. Enjoy a day out with a difference in Barnard Castle, where the breath-taking castle of the same name, the fascinating Bowes Museum and a fantastic golf club await. Why not spend some time in Richmond, Hawes or Kirby Stephen, wonderful towns resting on the National Park's edges; alternatively, you could venture further into the Yorkshire Dales to come across the outdoor havens of Swaledale, such as its wildflower meadows and heather moors? For a memorable stay, look no further than the marvelous Hackney House.

    The house is in a great location especially for walkers, and the village is charming. The host was more than helpful offering very useful suggestions, which enhanced our stay. I can't recommend highly enough.

    A lovely home in a great location, the h8gh spec kitchen had everything you needed with a usefull serving hatch to the large separate dining room which easily fitted us all in. Great walks from the door and a couple of good pubs in the village. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  • Robert

    Lovely to get a call from the owner prior to even leaving home and when we got to the house it was almost home from home. The cottage is laid out logically with everything in place, particularly the kitchen. So often, cottages on arrival are cool, not the case here as we felt comfortable from the word go. The whole house is clean and had everything we needed. Beds and bedding are all good quality as is everything in the kitchen. Reeth is lovely, it has two pubs, one particularly good but also the Bridge Inn at Grinton is less than 15 mins pleasant walk away. If you are considering this area, particularly for good walking, I doubt you will do better than Hackney House.
