Fremington is a pretty hamlet situated in Swaledale, and is divided into High and Low Fremington. Low Fremington is located along the stretch of road between Reeth and Grinton. It is difficult to tell where village ends and the next begin due to the close proximity of the three villages. High Fremington is a selection of cottages that lead to the renowned Fremington Edge which attracts hundreds of visitors every year. ...

Grinton is a small village situated on the south bank of the River Swale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Grinton is in a great location as only a stone’s throw from Reeth and Fremington and very close and easily accessed from Leyburn and Richmond, which is 11 miles to the west. ...

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.

Richmond was founded by the Normans in 1071, and is overflowing with history, mostly centred around one of the finest tourist attractions in North Yorkshire – Richmond Castle. The castle, finished in 1086, is one of the greatest Norman fortresses in the UK and well worth a visit, not only to hear the history of the unruly North but to see the stunning views of the Dales from the castle keep and the tranquil Cockpit garden. ...

Had a lovely stay. Gorgeous big fireplace which will be lovely in the winter. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Seamless communications prior to arrival: thrilled with quality of the cottage interior/ garden space and seating area. Very full welcome basket including all sorts of local treats plus staples in the fridge which is very considerate. Good eco considerations too. Location is perfect ; within walking distance of great coffee / food at Dales bike centre or local Inns but so quiet and nicely away from any hustle and bustle. Acceptable walks too Definitely will be back.

AD Barn was a beautiful place to stay for a long weekend! It’s in a great location, was very clean, had everything you need and felt very homely. We would absolutely stay here again. There is a great cafe literally over the road, and a pub just a 5 minute walk away. Loved it!

Colin –
Exactly what we were hoping for. Lovely cottage in a lovely place. A very enjoyable stay.
Philip –
The cottage was in an ideal position to explore Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. We were blessed with beautiful fresh , blue-skied ( although cold!!) days, which showed the sales off to their best. A bonus was the Dales Bike Centre across the road, with its scrumptious cakes and coffee. Hannah was super-responsive when we had problems with the en-suite shower and toilet seat
Linda –
We had a wonderful week away. The house was beautiful, spotless and very well equipped. The area is stunning – a little remote but was central to all the places we wanted to visit. The cafe across the road was a bonus – delicious food and divine cakes! Lots of lovely places to visit and plenty of great walks. Would highly recommend this cottage for some R&R in the Yorkshire Dales!
David –
The property was in a delightful location with good views of the local area. It was clean and we especially enjoyed the wood burner. The hamper of goodies provided for us on arrival was excellent and a nice touch. Would highly recommend this cottage. We were fortunate with good weather as well which enabled us to explore the Dales.
Debra –
Excellent cottage across the road from the Dales Bike Centre which also has an excellent cafe! Great rides from the door and a secure bike store. Cottage was very well equipped and there was a nice welcome pack on arrival. Everything was spotlessly clean and we would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Katharine –
The house is in a perfect location. The interior is delightful. The kitchen is very well equipped, the living room is cosy, the beds so comfortable and the garden has fab views. We loved it.
Jane –
We were looking for a house to relax and get away from the hectic months we’d had. The house, beautiful scenery and local villages with pubs and a few shops meant it was perfect. We hired bicycles and followed the Swalesdale Trail, walked locally and further afield and visited Barnards Castle. As soon as we arrived we felt relaxed and our minds took a well earned rest. It is the first time we have used Airbnb, it worked very well. All the information we required was received beforehand and within the house the book covered all we needed and Hannah was in contact if required. Thank you, we would be happy to revisit.
Jon –
Perfect place to stay. Would definitely return again
Tara –
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at AD Barn and couldn’t have wished for more from this beautiful property. The cottage itself was incredibly homely and cosy, whilst also spacious. It was perfectly clean, with pristine bedding and towels. We had everything we needed for our 5 night stay; a fully equipped kitchen, logs for the fire, and some lovely food and drink supplies kindly left for us. The surrounding area is beautiful, with many local spots walkable and accessible. We are already hoping to return to AD Barn and would certainly recommend it to others considering staying there. Many thanks to Hannah for great hosting, she was proactive, friendly and helpful throughout.
