The Dales are a lovely part of the country and easily explored from Grimwith. The hot tub was an added bonus although you need plan ahead to ensure it is at an ideal temperature! Jerry was available, if needed, and proved an invaluable asset to the cottages and was helpful throughout our stay. We would love to return at some point in the future. Andrew, Anna & Skye

The welcome basket was very much appreciated too, itâs touches like this that make this property outstanding. Its location is on the edge of Grimwith Reservoir and itâs stunning- if you want peace and quiet, with no light or noise pollution this is the place to stay. The 4.5mile walk around the reservoir I also recommend, with plenty of wildlife. ( the owls are beautiful) Gerry the caretaker is knowledgeable and on hand if you need him, he had our hot tub heated ready for our arrival which we really appreciated. We are gutted to be back home but canât wait to go back, of all the cottages weâve stayed in this is our absolute favourite. 10/10

The high standards of decor and facilities made this an ideal choice - and the welcome pack really appreciated! We were treated to a week if glorious weather too, so walked each day, which the dog particularly loved. Absolutely ideal!
