Guests say

Joyces Cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for scenic walks and local attractions. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome bottle of wine, and the helpfulness of the owner, Kate. While most reviews are positive, a few guests mention minor issues with comfort and maintenance.

The cottage is consistently described as clean, with several guests specifically complimenting its cleanliness. One review mentions a smell of dogs, but this seems to be an isolated comment.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful surroundings and proximity to walks and local attractions. Guests are very satisfied with the scenic views and the convenience for exploring the dales.

Comfort is generally well-reviewed, with guests mentioning comfortable beds and a cozy atmosphere. However, a few guests noted issues with seating comfort and warmth, slightly lowering the score.

Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Some guests suggest improvements in maintenance, such as securing the yard for dogs and adding blinds for privacy, indicating room for enhancement.

While guests express gratitude for thoughtful gestures like a welcome bottle of wine, there are not enough references to consistently provided gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Reeth, a charming and well-liked village, is tucked between Calver Hill, Fremington Edge, and Harkerside at the northernmost point of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where Arkengarthdale and Swaledale meet. Reeth, which is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty with attractive rolling hills and breathtaking views, has a colourful past since it was first settled by the Saxons and has since been recognised as a lead mining town and a centre for hand knitting. The Swaledale Museum, which is situated close to a wide variety of stores, tea cafes, and restaurants, proudly displays both trades. Reeth has three options for historic inns, including the charming Buck Inn, which is whitewashed like many of the 18th century houses clustered around the triangular village green. Furthermore, accessible old market towns like Richmond and Leyburn provide a wider range of amenities. Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater, and Hardraw Force (England's largest single drop waterfall at 99 feet) are all within a short drive of Askrigg. Whether you prefer to explore the caves, cliffs, waterfalls, or any of the numerous walking and cycling routes that encircle this colourful and varied terrain, Reeth makes for an excellent starting point for exploring North Yorkshire's stunning, sweeping countryside.

    A convenient location for beautiful walks beside the river Swale with our 2 dogs. A warm cosy cottage with everything you need for a short break.

  • Alan

    An excellent, comfortable place to stay with your dogs and a good base for exploring the area.

  • Christine

    The cottage was so comfortable, clean and warm with a lovely cosy electric log-effect heater in the lounge. This was our second visit to ‘Joyces Cottage’ and we will definitely be booking again for next year. Chris and Paul
