Situated close to Castle Bolton, Leyburn and the famous Aysgarth Falls is the picturesque Dales village of Redmire. Located along the Wensleydale Railway, which runs various steam trains during the summer, the settlement is also within easy reach of Castle Bolton, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Yorkshire and dating back to 1378. Much of the construction, composed of towers set around a rectangular courtyard, survived orders to destroy the famous castles of Yorkshire issued by Parliament during the Civil War. Carperby is close by too, and was an important centre for the Quaker movement and the largest building today is the classically styled Friends Meeting House, which overlooks the market cross and village green. Redmire itself is home to a traditional pub, which serves good food whilst there is an excellent range of amenities, shops and attractions in the nearby market town of Leyburn.

It is warm, comfortable, well equipped and convenient for perfect walking country. We have stayed there four times in the last 2.5 years and have already booked our next visit in 2025. I cannot recommend The Bothy highly enough.

Generally ok some items of maintenance required, flickering wall lights in the lounge, no instruction on how to set up the TV, hence only BBC1- Main door lock had a mind of its own and opening first time was a lottery- Great location though--

It does however have two Public footpaths; with the ability of the general public given the right to move through the grassed area at the back. The accommodation has been expertly renovated to a high standard. It is a comfortable place to stay for up to four people. It's location at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales makes it well placed for visits to many landmarks nearby.
