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.

    Everything we needed and very comfortable. The area around is so beautiful and we didn't have long enough to explore it all. Thanks for a lovely holiday

  • Nicola

    The cottage is characterful and comfortable. A lovely touch to leave us a bottle of wine. Our dogs really enjoyed the stay too - the kitchen/hallway area was ideal for them, plus the little enclosed paved garden. Everything was really comfortable and the owner was very friendly and only next door if we needed anything. Really recommend staying at Joyce's Cottage!
