Hope Cottage South

My friend and I had a very relaxing stay in Hope Cottage South.

Very well equipped,warm, comfortable beds, beautiful view from garden. Many conveniences, pubs ,shops,..... lovely walks. Would recommend it! Sorry to hear it's up for sale

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hope Cottage South.

The location was superb along with its stunning views, being right in the centre of the village, while also being very quiet, and ever changing views over Fremington Edge. The accommodation was more spacious than we expected and well equipped.

Wonderful cottage with loads of character in a stunning location - a perfect getaway.

Settled in straight away as it felt like home - very warm and comfortable. Lovely and quiet tucked away in a courtyard but yards away from all the village amenities - pubs, bakeries, post office etc and we didn’t need to use the car all week as so many walks from Reeth itself. Fantastic views from the garden - can’t recommend highly enough and will definitely be booking a return visit.

What an absolute gem of a find this property was for us.

This was our first time at Hope Cottage South, but we certainly hope it won’t be our last. I could wax lyrical about Reeth of course, even though the weather wasn’t kind to us on this occasion, but to wake up to almost total silence, a magnificent view of Fremington Edge in the near distance, with just birdsong outside our bedroom window, and watching rabbit kits frolicking in the garden as we breakfasted, was totally enchanting, and a much needed balm to the soul of this jaded town dweller. The property itself was spacious (comfortably large enough for five people), tastefully decorated, and the fact that there was even a small freezer, dish washer, and a washing machine in the garage, literally two steps from the front door, was a very welcome bonus. One ‘minor’ thing to be mindful of in this property though, is that the door frames of the front door and the door leading to the stairs, are a little low if you’re anywhere near 6ft tall. I can assure anyone reading this review and considering booking this property, that you won’t be disappointed.

We had read an unfavorable review just before arriving and so we're apprehensive.

We were delighted to find the cottage charming, cozy and quirky, and loved the little garden which had an exceptional view into the valley. The photographs don't do this cottage justice.We were warm and comfortable and appreciated the option of using the wood burner. We only had breakfast in the cottage and found the kitchen suitably equipped for our needs. The downstairs toilet is in an adjoining outside room, and we found this handy when returning from walks, and not at all inconvenient. The property is neatly tucked away in a small courtyard, but extremely central. We'd love to return

Absolutely loved our stay at Hope Cottage.

The location and all the facilities were fantastic. Hope Cottage is Grand Cottage that has a very relaxing vibe. The log burner was lovely at this of year. The beds were super comfy. The views from the garden were exhilarating. The collection of games and maps were spectacular. Hope Cottage is definitely a home from home. The welcome folder was very detailed too, making for a super relaxed break away. Our 10 Year Old son loved it and can't wait to go back. We would definitely rebook.

Love the place, our second visit this year.

One thing needs attention though and that is a decent frying pan! There are 2 both in a grim state, eggs stick and that ruins breakfast, a small complaint that is easily rectified.

We struggled to find the cottage (the Post Office Lady helped) and were a little shocked at how tight the small entrance road is to the courtyard for unloading/re-loading.

Once in the cottage, we did find downstairs a little cosy, especially the kitchen and the dishwasher in the garage is a bit of a chore. The front door allows cold drafts into the lounge and could do with sorting out somehow. Upstairs is an absolute delight; with a lovely main bedroom with wonderful views and lots of space between all the bedrooms. One gripe, is the large window in the master bedroom, which has curtain dressings that let the morning light in, so if staying anytime other than the winter, you'd be woken up by the rising sun very early! The extra blinds at the windows need replacing (one missing, one broken), so it would be thoughtful to get some black-out blinds up, or line the curtains with black-out fabric: No-one wants to lose sleep on holiday! The bed is very comfortable. It has to be one of the most peaceful stays we have ever had: Away from traffic noise is a blessing. The garden has lovely views, but we did miss out on some warm, afternoon sun (when it was out) coming into the garden as the neighbours have their trees very high. It is a holiday cottage that made for a lovely, quiet break, but that break did end on a sour note, as during the last evening's stay, the cottage lost its wifi signal and that meant we couldn't operate the central heating and as it had been a very wet September day/night, we were very cold and went to bed unhappy to be. We spent the evening trying to contact the Caretaker; leaving numerous messages, which came to absolute nothing: We wondered if he actually existed?! This was unacceptable and something that needs investigating.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely, peaceful cottage.

The views from the garden are fantastic. Reeth has plenty of walks, and good pubs and cafes.

An absolute gem - perfect in terms of comfort and location and we can't wait to return.

Hope Cottage is a real home from home - this was our fifth visit and every time we find new walks to enjoy. Very relaxing and tranquil and we can't recommend highly enough.

Stylish and cosy accommodation in the heart of the most beautiful village.

Gorgeous views. Didn’t discover the downstairs toilet until the last day !

Really lovely house - absolutely beautiful view.

Lovely house with quality furniture, carpets and a beautiful garden.

Would definitely recommend and will hopefully stay here again in the future, thank you.

Picture is from the rear of the property, finding it required local help.

Generally OK but could do with furniture upgrade as I wouldn't say it's comfortable. Kitchen is small, dishwasher and washing machine in the garage. OK for washing machine but dishwasher? Shower needs sorting out and bath area could do with some tlc. However price was good and we spend most evening out so no real issues.

Comfortable cottage with a beautiful view.

Unfortunately due to the cold weather we didn’t use the garden. Warm clean and tidy we had an enjoyable stay. Loved the log fire.

Wonderful accommodation in a superb quiet location.

Very comfortable and warm and well equipped. Immediately felt at home. Fantastic views from the living room, main bedroom and garden and a stunning double aspect view from the twin bedroom. Very comfy garden chairs and we were lucky enough with the weather to be able to use them in February! For a relaxing stay in an area overflowing with brilliant walks this can't be beaten. An absolute gem.

Another lovely and comfortable week in this cottage.

It is well equipped, although missing a teapot. We also had to use our own Netflix account. The boot room is very useful for drying wet walking gear - good to see the new latch after my comment last year. An outside light would be helpful - one that came on automatically to light the way to the garage.

Our third visit and definitely not the last - a little piece of heaven.

We liked the cottage, although if it were me I'd have a modern kitchen.

The garden chairs were uncomfortable- shame as it was such a lovely view, and actually the sitting room chairs were not very comfortable- no headrest, wooden arms. I've come home with a slight backache. Most importantly, it is unacceptable to have no recycling bin.

Very comfortable - will all facilities in the cottage.

View from the master bed room is spectacular with all kinds of wildlife visible - birds are beautiful in the morning. Spotlessly clean and close to all amenities and some great walks. For this looking for a quiet spell away Hope Cottage is perfect. Julia Richardson Australia

We had a fantastic stay.

Thank you. You provided everything we would need. The boardgames were a real bonus on a rainy day. We are hoping to stay again next year.

Brilliant cottage, fantastic views from garden, living room and main bedroom.

Comfortable and well equipped. Perfect base for walkers and cyclists-spacious secure garage for bike storage and boot room. We also loved the huge variety of board games, some new favourites added to birthday and Christmas lists!! Thank you for a wonderful few days.

Wonderfully peaceful, well equipped and cosy cottage.

Views, from bedrooms and garden terrace particularly, are to die for. Ideally placed for visiting the Dales. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay in lovely comfy clean cottage.

Only thing missing couple of chairs for the garden to enjoy the fabulous view. Would definitley recommend and stay again.

Hope Cottage was perfect for our holiday walking in Swaledale.

It is very well equipped, clean and very comfortable. We chose it for the location in Reeth, great village, and for the garden view - which didnt disappoint!

Beautiful house, in excellent location, would highly recommend.

Only one slight note to improve, comfortable garden furniture to sit in the wonderful garden and enjoy the views

We had a very comfortable stay, thank you.

The house is lovely and the beds were very comfortable. Location is perfect. Communication with caretaker was great and very helpful. Thank you all very much.

A return visit and a lovely peaceful stay again.

Can't beat the quiet location and comfortable facilities at the cottage. Lovely views and great amenities in Reeth - great food at the Black Bull Inn.

Really lovely cottage with bags of character and charm.

Lots of lovely artwork. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need. The main bedroom has fantastic views and the bed is really comfortable. The boot room is an excellent place for drying wet walking gear although it is easy to get locked in if you are not careful as there is no latch inside the door.

Shower didn’t work.

Single bed not comfortable. No hand soap or washing up liquid. Dishwasher should be in kitchen as cobbles very slippy carrying plates to garage. Fire guard needed for wood burner as sparks hit carpet. More information needed on where to park.

Nice central location in a lovely yorkshire village.

Upstairs bedrooms and bathroom are a good size although downstairs kitchen and lounge are bit cosier. Downstairs door frame heights are strangely low despite tall ceilings. Beware your head if you're tall.

Lovely peaceful location with outstanding views.

Cottage very comfortable and furnished to a very high standard with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. Cannot recommend highly enough and will definitely book again.

A beautiful cottage.

Very centrally located in Reeth. Wonderful views from the cottage. We found everything we needed for a lovely week even though it rained most days!

I have already written this in the owner's Guest Book.

It is a lovely cottage with superb views. Reeth would be hard to beat as a sleepy dales village surrounded by the Swaledale hills but with a choice of four pub/hotels, ditto cafes and two bakeries. We had a marvellous stay.

Early problem (not the owner’s fault) was dealt with very quickly.

Excellent communication with owner and caretaker. The cottage is as good as it sounds and the view from the terrace was spectacular.

Beautiful, warm and spotless house with incredible views across valley.

Everything perfect, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen but could benefit from a washing up bowl as taking washing up out to garage to use dishwasher a little tricky. Loved all the local info and maps thank you! Lovely fire and thank you for the starter pack. With views so special from lounge it would be lovely to position table in window alcove to lookout whilst eating. Wonderful garden and loved the table and chairs on terrace for morning coffee and evening drinks. Fantastic shower and so nice to have bath after long day walking on the fells. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back and also recommend to friends. Thank you! Reeth is a special place.

Hope Cottage is fabulous!

There was nothing we needed during our stay that wasn’t there. It was such a lovely cosy cottage. Would highly recommend.

Lightning too dim, particularly lounge No vegetables steamer Bathroom radiator barely works Main bedroom needs bedside tables

There was a small problem with the front door, but the communication was excellent, and the owner sorted it out very quickly.

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage. Perfect for relaxing and exploring the Dales.

Excellent week in a delightful property.

We were lucky to get it as it was a last minute booking. Looking forward to a return visit next year.

We enjoyed the views almost as much as climbing the hills!

The ease of getting food and supplies was helpful too. Everything was spotless. The furnishings were new and modern, but very much in keeping with the historic cottage. It was very cozy and we really felt we had got away from the crowded South of England. The rabbits on the lawn and the little table in the garden were lovely touches. We would very much like to return.

We have loved staying in the beautiful and tasteful cottage.

We really looked forward to coming home at the end of each day, spent walking and exploring Swaledale. We appreciate the love and care you have put into creating this new, spotless and cosy holiday home. The views from the main bedroom are amazing! A perfect break away.
