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. ...

Cozy, comfortable cottage with all the amenities needed for a quiet stay in Reeth.
Clare –
It’s a lovely cottage in a good location- everything you need to make being on holiday easy. Hannah responds very quickly and was very helpful with a small issue we had- all sorted in half an hour!
Anne –
Perfect cottage in an ideal location. The stairs are steep for anyone with a mobility difficulty, but other than that, this a really lovely holiday home. It has been very sympathetically renovated and decorated. Reeth is a picture postcard village, ideal for walkers as there are many paths starting directly from the village. The cottage is ideally placed, with a great bakery two doors up, and three pubs serving food within five minutes walk.
Hannah Wallington –
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the cottage, its location and all that Reeth has to offer. Just to clarify for future guests, the stairs at Galboly Cottage are a standard staircase with a sturdy handrail. As with many traditional cottages, they may feel steeper than some modern staircases, so we appreciate this is something guests with mobility difficulties may wish to consider. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again!

The property was spotless and so cute! Everything was available from utensils to wood for the fire enough for a few days and even milk in the fridge with tea and coffee. The bed was so comfy and the property was so peaceful and the heaters were a bonus to come back to a warm property after a big walk.

Great location, beautiful place
Rob –
What a great place to stay ! Perfect for two people (and a dog !) in a lovely village. The accommodation was great, exactly as the photos showed in and in a brilliant location within 2mins walk from the centre of Reeth. The village itself has a couple of general stores, various craft shops and a picturesque green…but most importantly a handful of dog-friendly pubs with amazing food, convivial atmosphere and perfect pints. Scenery is beautiful and plenty of different walking trails in all directions easily found from the village centre. Accommodation was just the right size, well-equipped, modern and really tidy. Definitely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in !
Julia –
The cottage was perfect, nothing at all to fault. It was homely, welcoming and spotless. The bed was really comfy. It was in a perfect location for walks on the doorstep but also plenty of places a short drive away. The local pubs served good food and the bakery next door was incredible. I recommend the cardamom swirls!

Josie –
Exceptional.The location was ideal. A short 2 minute walk to the main centre/pub. Also lots of footpaths accessible from the door. We went on a lovely evening trail run from the door and were straight away on lovely quiet footpaths. Two dales bakery next door was amazing. The place was so clean and cosy – would definitely go back.
Christine –
The cottage is lovely – spotlessly clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The log fire is one of the best we’ve experienced in a rental cottage, with enough logs, kindling and firefighters to enjoy an evening in. Location is perfect for the village centre, friendly pubs and amenities, and was the starting point for some great walks. Free or really cheap parking is available either outside or close by. Our host was very responsive, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Caroline –

We had a very comfortable stay at Galboly Cottage. It is in a lovely village location with beautiful surroundings. The cottage is very well equipped and is like a home from home. The village although very peaceful has everything you need from a village bakery to a local convenience store, ice cream parlour and craft shops. We had a very enjoyable stay and cannot wait to re visit.
Karen –
Great cottage in a great location! Easy to find & loads of parking. Very handy to walk to bakery, pub, tearoom, & walks down to river & countryside. Cottage was lovely & warm, heated on arrival. Great shower. Front patio area really pretty & lucky enough to sit out in the unusual sunny October weather, & enclosed for the dog. All pots & pans needed for cooking etc. Would happily return.

Last minute speculative trip and found an absolute diamond. Great location. Cottage was excellent, well equipped couldn’t ask for anything more. Comfortable especially the bed.
