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.

On a plus side beds where very clean and comfortable, area was amazing. These little niggles did not spoil our experience and this is not a complaint, if people do not feedback the owner may not know. We would happily return.

From arrival to leaving it seemed more and more went against our internal high expectations of this property. Furnishings such as the kitchen chairs and the cushions on the sofa are really looking tired. We appreciate this property is old and with it may come spiders and cobwebs but they were everywhere, where they shouldn't have been IF the place had been cleaned thoroughly between visits. I don't believe the floor appeared to have been cleaned properly for a long time, with evident darken dirt built up through the main walk ways, which stood out to the areas not waked on (games room pew area for example) along this the floor in the kitchen is dangerous. The grouting has come away from lin large sections and attempts have been made clearly to part others up but the exposed craters meant we kept loosing chair legs down them and losing our balance whilst sitting, being as deep. Three TV' s in bedrooms didn't work, stating please check arial! Not great. The cupboard surround to the right of the freezer fell off on our arrival. The back door lock is super tricky to actually lock and the door catches on the floor when opening leaving you very little space to slip in. The flag steps to the front and the back are covered with slippery moisture/dirt build up leaving us slipping too many times, they need jet washing! The shower to the main bathroom upstairs is very slow to drain, needs looking at! The floors we feel hadn't even been swept as there was visible hair and dirt on arrival. And we were disappointed given the high end price of the property that there was zero salt or pepper, no milk coffee or sugar condiments, just a large empty grinder in the cupboard. The cupboards were also very messy with no structure to them, particularly a cupboard housing plastic pates etc, wait was dirty too. Same with the cleaning product cupboards in the kitchen and utility. All needs a sort out and to be presented a lot better in our opinion. We would be grateful to hear back from the owner on the back of this feedback as we really weren't happy with the standard of the place during our stay given we'd trusted it to be a lot more high spec having read the write up and paid the very expensive price for our stay.

The cinema room was a hit with all members of the group. Plenty of walks, cycle routes, and beautiful autumn countryside views from every window. A lovely base in the heart of Swaledale, for a group of 10 to spend relaxing time together. Our thanks to everyone involved for providing such a well equipped home in the Dales..
