White Lea

Overall very satisfied with this cottage and would stay again in the future.

Felt at home as soon as we arrived

A very comfortable cottage with everything you needed.

The Bridge Inn is a short distance away with excellent local ales. The food has that home cooked feel but with an edge to it and is worth sampling at least twice. Reeth is a short(ish) walk where there are good local shops including the Two Dales Bakery. There are numerous walks from the front door, details of which are on maps in the cottage. Otherwise it's a good base to explore further afield.

We had a lovely week at white lea, its an incredible place as a base to explore the stunning surroundings.

The cottage was clean and had everything you need for a week away from home. The welcome back of fresh bread, milk, tea coffee and sugar was perfect especially after our 5 hour journey. We used many local shops whilst there but also had a supermarket food shop delivered. I suppose the only minor and i mean minor negative would be another bin bag under the sink would have been great, there were 5 of us 3 children and we soon filed the one in the bin but honestly thats just really not even a negative just a thoughtful suggestion as everything else inlcuding washing up liquid and clothes washing pods were provided. Thank you so much.

This is a wonderful place to stay - clean, comfortable and everything provided to make it a true home-from-home.

The location is so very quiet and the views from front and back are amazing. The owners are really friendly too. The countryside all around is breath-taking. We left here feeling so relaxed and recharged - we are definitely coming back and look forward to doing so.

Excellent cottage.

Clean and very well appointed. Highly recommend

Lovely cottage, splendid location.

Parking for two cars was a problem till we went to the pub and asked if we could park there. He said yes as we promised to have a couple of meals there. Very good food!

The cottage was absolutely fantastic.

Everything you could ask for was there. The shower although brilliant was very slippery. I suggest a non slip mat.

A Beautiful Base with Room for Small Improvements We stayed at this property for 14 nights and found it to be a wonderful base for exploring the stunning Yorkshire Dales.

The location is truly excellent—peaceful, scenic, and well-positioned for day trips. The owners have clearly invested a lot of care into renovating the cottage, and it has great charm and potential. However, a few small issues did affect our overall comfort: - The hot water was switched off when we arrived, which was unexpected after a long journey. - Both metal-framed beds were very squeaky, making restful sleep difficult. - The pillows were thin and uncomfortable, which was a consistent issue for the whole family, including the children. We ended up purchasing replacements ourselves, as there were no spares available. - The vacuum cleaner was completely blocked, and I had to clean it out manually. The owner mentioned they’ll add clearer instructions for future guests which was appreciated. - Cleaning tools were limited—we had to use the indoor broom to sweep the outdoor area, which wasn’t ideal from a hygiene perspective. - The BBQ, oven, and air fryer hadn’t been properly cleaned prior to our arrival, which made them less inviting to use. - The outdoor metal coffee table was rusted and could easily be refreshed with a coat of paint to improve the overall ambiance. - As someone who’s 6'4", I did bump my head several times—some signage to “mind your head” would’ve been helpful (and saved me a few battle scars!). None of these issues are major, and most could be resolved with minimal effort and cost. With a few thoughtful updates, this property could easily become a five-star experience. Overall, well done to the owners—this is a lovely cottage in a beautiful village, and we truly enjoyed our time here.

We found the property as advertised.

Well equipped, clean and all furniture and equipment was to a good standard. We made use of the outside space, which gave us the chance to relax and enjoy the sunshine after a walk. We got an occasional smell of fuel oil from next doors boiler, when igniting. Small point for improvement: - a coffee machine would be good

2nd time staying at White Lea Fabulous house We come to Reeth a lot but now we have found your lovely house can’t imagine staying anywhere else .

Excellent cottage!

Very clean and well equipped, with nice comfortable beds! Wonderful views from the main bedrooms, and also from the lovely terrace at the back of the property. Just a couple of small housekeeping points: - it would be really great to have a towel rail of some kind in the cloakroom on the top floor; - there was something wrong with both the bedside lamps on the top floor - they seemed to be shorting out so we didn’t use them.

Absolutely stunning house.

Everything, you could need, welcome pack was superb. Stunning views from all aspects. Fabulous area to explore, we cannot wait to return. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay and would come again.

The bread from the local bakery went down really well, thank you, and the pint of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. It would be really handy if there was salt and pepper available in the kitchen. Just those prefilled grinders you can get. It's not ideal having to go and buy them to use just for a few days. The shower room would benefit from having a towel ring/hook/rail by the sink for a hand towel. There is nowhere to hang towels in the upstairs toilet! A freestanding towel rail in there would be really beneficial. Although our kids were showering on the floor below, their wet towels were up on the top floor and needed somewhere to hang.

Loved the welcome marmalade, milk and bread, thank you.

A lovely cottage, comfortable, well thought out, making it great accommodation in a great/stunning location.

This cottage is truly outstanding, everything from the quality of the decor, fixtures and fittings and the location, we could not have asked for anything better!

And the icing on the cake is the patio area at the back, we enjoyed just sitting there with a glass of something taking in the view.

Don't very often do reviews but in the case of White Lea we felt it is warranted, On entering this cottage we could see that everything was at a very high standard from comfortability to cleanliness, everything you needed was provided.

The view over the fields at the back was everything we needed for a relaxing holiday including the variety of birds that visited us during the week. Would highly recommended this cottage.

Just back from a week long stay with two friends in this delightful cottage, in a quiet village which is ideally situated for exploring the joys of Richmond, Leyburn, Bolton Castle, Redmire, Aysgarth, Hawes, etc, as well as the immediate area of Grinton and Reeth.

We had some beautiful walks - despite the rain. The cottage itself has everything you need, in addition to being very tastefully decorated with some lovely touches created by local craftsman, Terry Harrington, including the welcome tray! The only disappointment was the local pub, The Bridge. Don't think that it will last much longer as opening hours and the availability of food was unpredictable, but Reeth is within walking distance ;-).

We had a wonderful stay at White Lea which is situated in a picturesque little village and ideally situated for long walks or cycle rides.

The cottage itself is very warm, cosy, spacious, very clean and has all the amenities you will ever need.

This was a first class accommodation.

We loved everything about it from the level of the the facilities to the cleanliness to the location. This is one cottage we would certainly like to return to in the future.

White Lea is a comfortable and clean, open and airy cottage in what we consider to be one of the most beautiful areas of the country.

We appreciated the 'welcome' pack after a long journey - thank you.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Lots of great walks nearby with good pubs and excellent cake at the Dales Bike Centre. Visit coincided with the Reeth Show which could be walked to, would recommend. Cottage was lovely, everything that is needed. Great views and although on the main road was very quiet. Would highly recommend

Fantastic property.

Accomodation was excellent and the property has clearly been appointed and maintained to a high standard. Bedrooms and beds were very comfortable with a very good kitchen and bathrooms. Good location, close to a great little pub which serves food. Nice touches like local bread available on arrival. A very good stay and will certainly return

Lovely cottage with great VIEWS, just a few things would have made it a 5 star, shower could do with some where to put stuff while showering, no instructions for heating TV instructions where for wrong TV, no visitors book to leave coments bed not very comfy and patio very slippery when wet could do with a good pressure wash.

But having said all that we had a lovely week and would stay again but we are now getting a dog and cottage does not accept dogs which is a shame

The property is beautiful, spotlessly clean and everything very good quality, Beautiful view over the meadow and a few minutes walk to the Swale Trail footpath/cycle route all the way to Gunnerside.

Easy walk into Reeth and not far to drive to other places of interest for a day out. Only slight downside for us was shuffling on and off the drive/parking spot as our car quite big/long (VW Arteon). It wouldn’t put us off booking another holiday as everything else was perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay at White Lea.

The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean, we would be very happy to recommend it or return ourselves in the future.

Welcome pack very much appreciated Will definitely stay there again Hope to return next year

Yet another fantastic stay in our favourite home from home.

Every stay is as good as the last. Only problem, we never want to leave!

We couldn’t be happier, White Lea was a stunningly beautiful, clean and comfortable property.

It definitely deserves its “outstanding” rating. White Lea was perfectly situated although our sat nav had difficulty locating it. The location was so peaceful and picturesque. The cosy fireplace and gorgeously comfortable sofa were very welcome after a days walking or sightseeing. The whole property was decorated to a very high standard and was a delight to stay in. We would highly recommend it.

The cottage was very comfortable and furnished to a very high standard especially the kitchen.

Coupled with a lovely location in a very pretty village made this a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommended.

Another lovely stay at this super cottage.

It's like a home from home. Only problem is we never want to go home. Thanks again.

Lovely cottage with a superb rear patio and outlook.

Plenty of short flat walks from the doorstep with a short walk into Reeth. Nice pub virtually on the doorstep. Would recommend this cottage if you just want to chill out.

In God's own country, White Lea is a great cottage renovated to a very high standard.

All-important cleanliness and comfort are obviously paramount.

This holiday cottage is massive.

My husband and myself had a wonderful week. The area is beautiful and very convenient distance from a pub (the bridge) serving wonderful food and extremely welcoming.

Lovely homely cottage.

Beautifully furnished, clean and a real home away from home. Thank you

Thank you for a lovely stay at your beautiful cottage it was perfect.

Great location, fabulous Views will definitely be booking again .

What an amazing property and fabulous location.

We had lambs in our field every morning and the farmer came to visit them twice a day. The children throughly enjoyed this experience. Perfect property and facilities were great. One suggestion may be to have a rug down on the lounge floor and also blankets to snuggle with once the fire is on. Apart from the we couldn’t fault the place. Also the ice cream shop in Reeth is definitely worth a visit or two.

Excellently maintained, and clean, a small chopping board, and a more upto date can opener, and a microwave basin would be useful,

White Lea is a little gem, beautifully decorated and furnished and very cosy especially the underfloor heating.

It was spotless and has everything you need for the perfect Dales holiday and a short walk to the pub and neighbouring Reeth. It’s a marvellous part of the Dales with plenty of walks for all abilities. The views from the cotttage were stunning, it’s a real home from home and we’d highly recommend staying here, we’ll most certainly be back.

Disappointed that having said all fuel was included in the price, only enough logs supplied for one fire.

lovely characterful cottage with great views and lots of walking and good pubs nearby

So quiet, amazing views, clean as a pin!

!

The cottage itself was great.

Lovely village and easy walk into next bigger village. The only downside was the parking if you had more than one car. There is very little other parking in the village and the landlord at the pub isn’t helpful, ever when you go to his pub most evenings and have a couple of meals there.

Lovely cottage with high quality fittings and furniture, very scenic patio and close to nice pub and cake shop

White Lea is a beautiful cottage everything of a high standard.

As the weather was good we were able to make the most of the patio and lovely views. Will definitely book again.

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, decorated and fitted to an excellent standard.

Owner very helpful.

A beautiful cottage finished to a very high standard.

Plenty of things to do in the area and a pub only a few yards down the road.
