"We had a lovely stay and would come again."
The bread from the local bakery went down really well, thank you, and the pint of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. It would be really handy if there was salt and pepper available in the kitchen. Just those prefilled grinders you can get. It's not ideal having to go and buy them to use just for a few days. The shower room would benefit from having a towel ring/hook/rail by the sink for a hand towel. There is nowhere to hang towels in the upstairs toilet! A freestanding towel rail in there would be really beneficial. Although our kids were showering on the floor below, their wet towels were up on the top floor and needed somewhere to hang.
Thank you for your feedback Jo. Happy to hear you had a lovely stay. We have noted your points and will make the small changes as we agree this would be better for future guests. Sarah Property Owner

REETH
Leyburn 8 miles; Richmond 11 miles; Barnard Castle 15 miles; Kirkby Stephen 22 miles.
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.
