The pretty, ever-popular village of Reeth rests at the northern tip of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where Arkengarthdale and Swaledale meet, nestled between Calver Hill, Fremington Edge and Harkerside. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with lovely rolling hills and spectacular views, Reeth boasts a colourful history as it was originally a Saxon settlement, and has also been known as a lead mining town and a centre for hand knitting throughout its time. Both trades are proudly featured in the Swaledale Museum, located alongside a good range of shops, tea rooms and restaurants. For a quaint little community, Reeth is well-served by traditional inns, with three to choose from, including the lovely Buck Hotel, whitewashed like so many of the 18th century cottages huddled around the triangular village green. The historic market towns of Richmond and Leyburn are also within easy reach, offering a further selection of amenities. Askrigg is just a short drive away, as well as Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater and Hardraw Force (England's highest single drop waterfall at 99ft). Reeth offers a fantastic base for exploring North Yorkshire's beautiful, sweeping countryside, whether you choose to discover the caves, cliffs, waterfalls or the plethora of walking and cycling routes that circle this vibrant and varied landscape.

As described ⦠soon adjusted to digital down time as weather was very inclement making tv sketchy. Lots of DVDs to choose from, games, jigsaws & a lovely open fire to while away the night times. Stunning walks from the front door & wider area. Simply fabulous!

. We love it's remote location with all the walks from the doorstep, the wildlife (had 2 grouse in the garden!) and the night skies are amazing. Although remote, it's not far down to Reeth or Richmond for provisions and you can easily get around the Dales by car to visit other locations. We did a lovely circular walk from Keld to Muker. We last visited in May so this was the first time we had used the coal fire. It made the cottage lovely and warm and so cozy on a dark night. We cooked each night in the kitchen which is well equipped. Would recommend to anyone wanting a cozy cottage to get away from the stress of everyday life.

We love the area and will certainly return to this cottage. A very comfortable and homely stay, plenty of walks and interesting places in the surrounding area. Loved the open fire.
