T'Other End Arkle Town House

About this property

Reeth 2.7 miles. Within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, tucked away in the charming hamlet of Arkle Town, a quaint settlement just a short drive north of neighbouring Reeth, lies the delightful, three-bedroom 18th century cottage of “T’Other End”, which annexes the owner’s property, Arkle Town House. Boasting off road parking, an enclosed garden with lawn, flower borders and patio space and a superb position enjoying brilliant views of the surrounding countryside, this lovely property makes a perfect base for a family or group of five sharing, seeking a relaxing, self-catered getaway to the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Park up next to your new home-from-home, taking a moment to properly soak up your tranquil new setting. Step into your new abode – stone built and retaining all of its original charm – wherein you’ll discover a collection of well-appointed living spaces, including a fully equipped kitchen where delicious dinners can be prepared, and a spacious sitting/dining room kept warm by an elegant wood-burning stove. When the sun is shining or the evenings mild, head outside with a glass of wine to gaze out upon the rolling, emerald dales, raising a glass with your loved ones to toast your magnificent holiday. In the evenings, be sure to refresh with an indulgent bath or a revitalizing shower on your way to settling down for a well-earned rest in one of the three inviting bedrooms. If you can tear yourself from your peaceful new lodgings, head out to explore what your local area has to offer. Take a short stroll up to neighbouring Langthwaite, which will bring you to your nearest pub, The Red Lion, which appeared in the original TV series “All Creatures Great and Small”, or carry on a little further through the village to the Charles Bathhurst (CB) Inn, where you can fuel up with a hearty meal. Immerse yourself in nature with a scenic walk along the waters of Arkle Beck, before venturing outside the hamlet to visit the nearby landmarks of Calver Hill, a stunning scenic point with breathtaking views of the countryside, and the ruins of the Old Gang Smelting Mill, a historic site where you can enjoy a serene hike. If you prefer, hop in your car and drive out of the village of Langthwaite along a winding unfenced road to the northernmost end of Arkengarthdale where you will find The Tan Hill Inn – the highest inn in England. In Reeth, you can stock up on essentials at the Post Office, pick up some scrumptious baked treats from the Two Dales Bakery, and even brush up on some local history at the Swaledale Museum. For a full day out, jump in the car and set out to explore some of the countless wonders housed by the Yorkshire Dales National Park, whether that’s snapping shots of East Gill Force or Middle Falls, ambling through the amazing setting of Stenkrith Park, or discovering the awe-striking sites of Ingleborough Cave and Malham Cove. All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book a stay at “T’Other End”, Arkle Town House.

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.
