Pleasant cottage in excellent location, which could be lifted from good to excellent with a few health & safety and comfort tweaks.

We had a really relaxing stay at South Steps and loved that we could take our dogs along too. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable and so cosy. The cottage was in a beautiful area and we enjoyed walking in the Dales every day ( rain or shine). Great to have the village pub so nearby too.

This is our second visit to South Steps and apart from the issue with the patio it is brilliant. If we were sitting outside we had to keep the dog on a lead.

This is a lovely cottage in a prime, central position for exploring the Dales. Reeth, Richmond and Wensleydale are all easy to access by car and its situated right on a delightful walk to Muker. The cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and felt homely and comfortable. We loved it!

We loved South Steps Cottage! - it was so beautifully presented and full of character. The log burner made the living room really cosy after a long day exploring the Dales and it was great to have a friendly local pub a few minutes walk away. The village is a lovely, traditional Yorkshire Dales one with mostly stone-built cottages and cobbled laneRead mores. With lovely views up to the hills which surround the village. Highly recommended!

South Steps cottage is a very comfortable, well euipped holiday cottage in a lovely village. Having a parking spot was great, there is parking by the green but it was quite busy. You can walk from the door in every direction, long hikes or short strolls. There is a small shop and a bakery in Reeth a few miles away, so fine for the basics. We had aRead moren excellent dinner in the pub, it is very popular so worth booking beforehand. We had a really enjoyable week and would happily go back again. Hide
