There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is consistently described as gorgeous, rural, and convenient, with easy access to local walks and amenities. The natural setting is a highlight for guests.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, contributing to a pleasant and relaxing stay. One review suggests improvements for safer bathroom facilities.
The cottage is well-furnished and provides space with a quality feel. However, one review suggests the addition of a microwave, vacuum cleaner, and a small saucepan, indicating that the facilities could be enhanced.

About this property
Reeth 5.4 miles. Pheasant Cottage is a charming, two-bedroom holiday home nestled in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside. Situated near the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park, this delightful cottage is the perfect place for families, friends, or sharing couples seeking a peaceful, self-catered getaway, boasting off-road parking, well-appointed living spaces, and stunning views of the surrounding rolling hills, also boasting a dark sky accreditation. Step into Pheasant Cottage and be instantly welcomed by the warmth of a traditional interior, with a homely sitting room housing a crackling open fire, plush sofas, and a TV leading off from the entrance. For the budding chef of the group, the well-equipped kitchen/diner is a haven of culinary inspiration complete with all the necessary appliances required to whip up a tasty, home-cooked feast, whilst also a great spot to chat with the cook as they prepare a meal to be savoured together at the dining table. Outside, soak in breathtaking views of the countryside from the comfort of the seating on the rear patio, an idyllic spot for alfresco dining or an evening drink. When the night draws to a close, make your way up the stairs to the two inviting bedrooms – choosing between an inviting double or a twin. Venture out and explore the full beauty of North Yorkshire, beginning with the vibrant village of Reeth, where you can enjoy a selection of eateries and pubs for a great night out. Take a trip to the market town of Leyburn, a stroll through the cobbled streets of Richmond or explore the fascinating history of Barnard Castle. For those looking to embrace the great outdoors, the Yorkshire Dales National Park presents a variety of sights to see, with pristine rolling hills, tranquil valleys, meadows, and rivers. From hiking and biking to a leisurely stroll across the dales, there are endless opportunities to explore. Let Pheasant Cottage be your next base for discovering the wonders of North Yorkshire.
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.

An adorable little cottage with everything we needed. Absolutely loved the remote location and it's peacefulness. An abundance of wildlife to see, a nature lovers paradise. So nice to hear the cuckoo and the curlews. Great walks directly from the cottage on country lanes and moorland are such a bonus. We will return

My daughter and I loved looking out the window and seeing the lambs and sheep. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to just be able to switch off.
