From my title you’ll probably realise we had a very positive experience in this property, situated above the owners ice cream parlour, overlooking the green in the lovely village of Reeth.
The accommodation is technically on 3 levels: entering by the front door and straight up a set of stairs to the bathroom/toilet, a very comfortable lounge and a lovely kitchen dining area. The kitchen, although we didn’t cook any large meals in it, was very well equipped and the freezer, a counter top one, was big enough for a bag of ice, wine cooler sleeves and a bottle of bubbly. The next level housed the two bedrooms, a twin and a double (not king size) which were all very comfortable. We met our host, Sarah, on a couple of occasions, although only very briefly, as she was run off her feet in the ice cream parlour. There is parking alongside the property for one car but it is tight, depending on the size of your car. We visited all 3 pubs, The Buck Inn for food (extensive menu and well cooked food - worth booking a table), the other two for drinks. We also visited two of the coffee shops/ cafes/ bistros which were excellent as well as one of the two village bakers. Use Tripadvisor to get a better idea of what these establishments have to offer. Reeth is well placed to visit many well known places in the northern Dales and is a haven for walkers and cyclists. I would thoroughly recommend this property. We will be returning, probably in a couple of years, as we have other areas of the Dales we wish to discover.
