“The cottage was spotless and the facilities were all catered for.”

The owner had thought to provide everything that we would need for the week even down to soaps, towels, torches, sewing kits and dog friendly things. Thank you for a lovely week.

“Dibble Cottage is a little gem!”

Tucked away near the village green this beautiful cottage although compact is very tastefully decorated and equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more. Its cosy, warm , spotlessly clean and Liz has thought of everything for us humans and for our four legged friends. There was prosecco, chocolates, fresh bread and milk and even treats for our girls which were thoroughly enjoyed and much appreciated and the Halloween decorations were a lovely touch! Reeth is a wonderful village boasting absolutely stunning surrounding scenery. There are several shops, pubs & tearooms, a bakery, post office and an ice cream parlour to name a few. If you love walking, there are several leading from the village and Liz has provided details for each one along with very handy guide to using the cottage. We had a fabulous week and highly recommended the cottage, one of the best we've stayed in. Be warned, the bed is soooo comfy you may want to spend your entire holiday in it! Looking forward to visiting again. Well done Liz, we can certainly see why you won an award. Very well deserved! Thank you so much! Louise, Adrian, Millie & Sookie xx

“The accommodation was rather smaller, not in room numbers but in dimensions, than we had expected and the bedroom not having a window was a tiny bit off putting.”

Having said that the facilities, especially the en suite,were of very high standard and there was absolutely nothing missing in terms of equipment. The location, in the centre of Reeth, is excellent for walking trips and visits to surrounding places of interest. The cleanliness of the cottage was of a very high standard and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. All in all a lovely bijou property were we had been made most welcome by the proprietor.

- Mr Grist, August 2019
“It is a lovely cottage in a beautiful area.”

- Mrs Hitchen, July 2019
“This cottage is a little gem!”

It is located in the centre of a beautiful village and is like a home from home. Every little thing has been thought about carefully and it is impeccably clean! Beautiful hand made bread and bubbly were there to greet us when we arrived and the guest information book set the scene for our weekend away. Thank you so much to Liz for sharing her stunning property with others!

- Mrs Simmonds, June 2019
“Fabulous Little Cottage”

Dibble cottage in Reeth is a fabulous little place for a week in The Dales, and I can’t praise it enough. On arrival all the treats were well received, including for the dog. (The home made bread was amazing.) There was a blanket for the dog in the upstairs lounge and a towel to dry her off, which were things we did not expect, so every little detail had been considered for it to be home from home. While it is compact, it has everything you need, and is in a good central location right next to the green, so it was really easy to take the dog for her early morning or last thing at night loo break. In the village there are three dog friendly pubs and a dog friendly hotel bar, so you are spoilt for choice after a long days walk in the Dales. You don’t have to travel if you don’t want to as there are so many lovely walks from the village. For a couple with a dog, Dibble Cottage is a fantastic choice.

“The cottage was perfectly located, perfectly equipped and perfectly comfortable.”

We very much enjoyed our stay and the walks cited in the information pack provided. Liz has to be congratulated for providing a genuine home from home with every essential to hand!

- Mr Rodger, May 2019
“This was the third time my wife and I have stayed at Dibble Cottage.”

On every occasion the cottage has been spotlessly clean and tidy. The owner Liz has baked us a loaf and provided a bottle of fiz. Liz, from previous visits learnt we only required one pillow each and she confirmed this with us prior to our last visit. I use this as an example of the efforts Liz goes to to please her guests. It has to be said that Dibble Cottage is "compact". That being said it is of sufficient size for two and is amazingly well equipped and comfortable. Reeth is perhaps my favourite village in the Yorkshire Dales and has many fine walks from it, as well as three pubs in it.It is also ideally situated being about half way up Swaledale. All in all I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! We will return.

“Very good signage in the cottage, delightful cottage and beautifully furnished.”

- Mrs Racz, March 2019
“High standard of accommodation in a lovely location.”

Some thoughtful touches by owner made the difference too, with wine, bread, milk waiting for us, even treats for our dog! Owner was also very helpful when we accidentally left some items behind. We would definitely recommend Dibble Cottage :-)

- Mr Benton, February 2019
“The cottage was in a good location.”

The owner went that extra mile to make rhe cottage as homely as possible with a christmas tree lighted on arrival. A bottle of presecco was waiting for us together with christmas presents for my wife and I and are border collie Maisie..

- Mr Hinson, December 2018

“Dibble Cottage is a real gem.”

I can't say enough good things about this place - finished to a very high spec, clean, cozy and has everything you could wish for including very welcome treats for us and our pets. Great communication with the owner who was so lovely and helpful. I could happily sit and look at the views of Fremington edge from the sofa on a regular basis and a return visit can't come soon enough for me! Sykes were as efficient as ever.

- Mrs Fowkes, November 2018
“We have enjoyed a wonderful week at Dibble cottage.”

Situated in a beautiful part of the country, we have enjoyed a mix of local walks with the occasional drive out to explore the nearby towns and villages. The cottage is such a fabulous place to return to - very comfortable with top quality fixtures and fittings. Ideal for a couple with an energetic dog! Highly recommend.

- Mr Hill, October 2018
“This was probably the best cottage we've stayed in!”

We can't fault it at all. It was beautifully presented and fully met our needs for a relaxing holiday. The location was perfect, parking was easy and the owner was friendly and helpful.

- Mrs James, August 2018
“This cottage is the best we have ever stayed in in Reeth .”

It has everything you might hope for. It is in a delightful location and Liz the owner made us feel most welcome. We are walkers and Swaledale has it all. Excellent walks to suit all abilities with lovely pubs at the end!

“This little cottage, is one of the best we've ever stayed in.”

The owner has thought of everything and has impeccable taste. It is immaculate, cosy and very welcoming. Milk, prosecco and fresh home made bread, were a welcome surprise when we arrived. Reeth is a great village to stay with everything you could want. Book this cottage, you will not be disappointed , unless you are really hard to please.

- Mrs Burdon, March 2018

“Perfect in every way,”

We stayed here for a weekend and cannot say enough good things. The cottage is so well thought out with every single space put to good use. The owner has thought of absolutely everything you could need and there are lots of thoughtful additions to make for a very comfortable stay. Lovely touches like a personal welcome message on the chalkboard, biscuits for the dogs and prosecco, milk and bread for us on arrival. Dog friendly pubs, welcoming locals and stunning dales scenery all around. If anyone can fault this cottage and this place then they are unable to be pleased if you ask us. We fell in love and will be back again.

“Fantastic Property and Location”

My husband and I stayed at Dibble Cottage for a week in July and we had a wonderful time. From the moment we pulled up outside the cottage we knew it would be lovely inside and it was. We loved the upside down layout with the bedroom and beautiful modern bathroom downstairs and then the really bright living room/ kitchen dining space upstairs. The decor of the whole place was beautiful and very tastefully done well done Liz it was like a five star hotel. Everything you could need and more was there. We appreciated the fresh bread and welcoming bottle of presecco a lovely touch. We loved the location of the property as 2 minutes in the car and you were in the beautiful dales. The village had one or two lovely pubs, a teashop, village store etc. We loved returning every evening to the beautiful comfortable and cosy cottage. Thanks to Liz and we would definitely return and highly recommend to others.

“Birthday”

What can i say but what a beautiful cottage high quality furniture and very clean one of the best cottages we have stopped in the owner as done everything to make your stay cosy, the walks around the area are excellent and the local pub's serve good food especially the buck we will definitely be going back soon.

- Mark W, March 2017
“Wish we'd got snowed in!”

We loved this little cottage, it was so warm and cosy and the décor was wonderful, relaxing to the eye and quality and luxury throughout. There was even a Christmas tree which had been lit for our arrival. We had snow so ended up a lot of time indoors but we didn't mind at all. There were so many thoughtful touches and though we don't have pets at the moment, the fact the owner welcomes dogs into such a pristine property without a long list of rules, just gentle suggestions, summed up the feel good factor about this place for me. We'll definitely be going back.

“fantastic little cottage”

just returned from a 1 week break at dibble cottage. the little cottage is just fantastic, the owners have designed this cottage to maximise its size whilst it is small you don't feel like it is. it has everything that you need , and is immaculately clean and finished to a very high standard. we would have no hesitation in rebooking this again. we were very lucky as the weather was superb so spent lots of time sat out on the village green enjoying the warm sunshine. cant wait to go back.

Yorkshire Cottage Holidays

The pretty, ever-popular village of Reeth rests at the northern tip of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where Arkengarthdale and Swaledale meet, nestled between Calver Hill, Fremington Edge and Harkerside. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with lovely rolling hills and spectacular views, Reeth boasts a colourful history as it was originally a Saxon settlement, and has also been known as a lead mining town and a centre for hand knitting throughout its time. Both trades are proudly featured in the Swaledale Museum, located alongside a good range of shops, tea rooms and restaurants. For a quaint little community, Reeth is well-served by traditional inns, with three to choose from, including the lovely Buck Hotel, whitewashed like so many of the 18th century cottages huddled around the triangular village green. The historic market towns of Richmond and Leyburn are also within easy reach, offering a further selection of amenities. Askrigg is just a short drive away, as well as Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater and Hardraw Force (England's highest single drop waterfall at 99ft). Reeth offers a fantastic base for exploring North Yorkshire's beautiful, sweeping countryside, whether you choose to discover the caves, cliffs, waterfalls or the plethora of walking and cycling routes that circle this vibrant and varied landscape.
