LOCATION

Reeth

Reeth

The history of Reeth dates way back to the 18th Century, where it used to be the capital of the lead mining industry and a local centre for hand knitting, with a population of 1,460. However, the area has evolved into the centre of the beautiful farming community that we see today. At the heart of Reeth is a triangular green, surrounded by the local community, pubs, teas rooms, restaurant and gift shops. Beyond the immediate surrounds the village is overlooked by the stunning fells of Fremington Edge and Calver Hill which we can guarantee will provide a stunning backdrop to your visit. ...

  1. Mary

    Swallowhome is such a lovely place to stay – well appointed and with beautiful views!

  2. Sara (verified owner)

    Perfect in every way!!! We were made to feel very at home in this gorgeous property- it was immaculate- super cosy (log burner was just a great it being -6 outside!!) The area is jaw droppingly stunning!! The views from the property are just beautiful. The CB inn is a perfect walk and serves really good food. Reeth is so pretty with a lovely tea room (Cooper Kettle) and with The Black Bull offering a cosy fireside seat. There are walks straight from the door of the property. If you’re looking for a relaxing/romantic break or a walking holiday this place is the one! We didn’t want to leave! Thanks Hannah! We shall hopefully be back as soon as we can! ????

  3. Mike (verified owner)

    Such a fabulous location. The views from the Cottage are breath taking and as it is away from the road it feels so private. The walkable short distance to a decent pub, with a children’s play area, was fantastic. The food was great. Lovely location for many walks and the Cottage was cosy and suited our needs, for a family of 4 with 2 young children, perfectly. All communication with Hannah and the team was efficient and friendly. A great stay.

  4. Liam (verified owner)

    Stunning location with walks through Arkengarthdale from the doorstep. Nicely furnished and very homely. We found it perfect for our family holiday in the Dales, with easy walks to nearby pubs and easy drives to other visiting spots.
