The garden is a lovely bonus, and the cottage is ideal for families and dog owners.

Cleanliness is repeatedly praised, with guests describing the cottage as spotless, very clean, and well maintained. Only one review mentioned an issue with bed linen quality, but this was an isolated comment among overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The location is highly rated, with guests loving the peaceful village setting, proximity to walks, historic sites, and a popular pub. The cottage is also well placed for exploring the Dales. Occasional mention of parking being busy at peak times, but this did not detract from the overall positive impression.

About this property
A traditional semi-detached stone cottage overlooking the village green in the centre of the pretty Dales village of Redmire, just four miles from Leyburn. Offering comfortable accommodation, this Redmire cottage boasts a cosy sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen and three welcoming bedrooms. Outside this Redmire cottage, guests can enjoy the walled garden and a lovely lawn, which are both ideal for alfresco dining on a lovely summer's evening. The village itself is at the heart of the walkers' paradise of Upper Wensleydale offering beautiful views of the Dales countryside that can be seen from almost every part of the village. Nearby, the town of Leyburn, with its quaint market square, offers a good choice of shops, eateries and art galleries, plus the famous horse racing village of Middleham is just a short drive away. With so much glorious Dales countryside on the doorstep, this is an ideal Redmire cottage for walkers, families and friends at any time of the year.
The village of Redmire boasts a pub serving good food and is set on the Wensleydale Railway, which features steam locomotives during the summer. Castle Bolton, a medieval castle is close by and is well worth a visit. Leyburn is only four miles away and offers shops, pubs and art galleries.

A comfortable old property with everything we needed, although WiFi was rather weak. We really appreciated the secluded garden with table and chairs. Redmire is a pretty village but there can be problems parking at busy times. Our host Sue who lived next door was there on our arrival and was very helpful throughout.
