Christopher
Lovely three bed cottage with excellent kitchen and lounge area. Very comfortable and well furnished. A table lamp or two in the living room would be welcome to avoid the glare of the overhead lights. We would definitely visit again.

Perfectly positioned to make use of local facilities, pubs, shops etc and importantly to explore the North Dales. We very much hope to return and the fresh milk and biscuits were a welcome and appreciated welcoming touch. Our thanks.

It alternated between very hot or very cold. Nice and cosy after a day's walking and so handy for the pubs in Reeth.
