Nearby is the popular village of Reeth (3 miles), home to a number of charming shops, cafes, pubs, and a weekly farmers market.

Enjoy your breakfast at the breakfast table in the kitchen before heading out for your walk. Continue into the spacious and cosy lounge which has comfortable sofas set around a beautiful inglenook fireplace, stoke the fire and relax while watching a movie on the Smart TV. Gather around the large extending dining table for family suppers or a board game! If you feel like having a quiet moment with a good book, retreat off to the garden room. Should you be working while away, there is a handy workspace both upstairs and downstairs. Completing the ground floor is a utility room where you can launder any dirty walking clothes in the washing machine.

The house feels like a home from home and was perfect for us, a group of friends, and our baby on his first holiday.

Plenty of seating in the living room for everyone to be comfortable. The garden was a proper sun trap for us as well with lovely views. We all commented on how lovely it was to stay in a holiday cottage of that size and be left enough toilet roll! That and there being plenty tea bags for a group of avid brew lovers was such a nice touch. Plenty of cups, glasses, plates etc. as well which often places overlook. We didnt want to leave on Sunday and all said wed book again next time we are all up in Langthwaite. Hide

We stayed at High Green Cottage over Christmas, and it truly was the best Christmas ever. The location is absolutely beautiful the cottage is surrounded by scenic walks with waterfalls, countryside views, streams, and charming villages filled with friendly locals, cosy pubs, and lovely little shops. Its the perfect setting for anyone wanting peace,Read more nature, and a touch of oldfashioned village charm. The cottage itself is even better than the photographs suggest. We were amazed at how spacious it was there was plenty of room for six adults and one 11yearold to relax comfortably without ever feeling crowded. Every room was beautifully presented, and the bedding and towels were luxurious, genuinely 5star hotel quality. Because we stayed over Christmas, we were especially delighted to find the cottage gorgeously decorated for the season, with a tree and decorations and warm, atmospheric lighting that made the whole place feel magical and welcoming. Throughout our stay, the hosts offered thoughtful, thorough support, making everything completely stressfree from start to finish. We couldnt have asked for a more perfect place to spend Christmas as a family. High Green Cottage is truly exceptional, highly recommended! Hide

This is a really beautiful house in a gorgeous part of the dales. The accommodation is everything you could wish for - comfortable beds, nice shower and lots of room to spend time together as well as apart. My teenage son particularly liked the sofa by the back door! The kitchen is very well equipped and we were left a very generous welcome pack ofRead more wine and biscuits and Yorkshire tea, which was much appreciated. We loved the books and the games. The village is quiet, with lots of walks from the front door, which the owner has very thoughtfully detailed in a comprehensive but very readable information book (which was also provided as a PDF on booking, which is genius really, and allowed us to refer to things when we were on our travels). We had to contact the owner on one occasion about a minor operational issue with the house (or rather my understanding of it) and he was very friendly and helpful. We had a really glorious week here as a family. It really is a lovely house in a lovely situation and I would highly recommend it to others. Hide

We have just spent the most wonderful week at High Green Cottage which I discovered by accident when researching my family history in the area. I Googled High Green thinking I was researching a farm, when this lovely cottage popped up. The cottage is set on the village green in Langthwaite, Arkengarthdale. I believe it is made from two cottageRead mores knocked into one and was originally built in the 1600s but in the 18th/19th centuries was used by lead miners and farm workers, so lots of history there. The owners have done a wonderful job in making this cottage into a lovely home base for exploring the area. The living room is a nice size, with three comfortable sofas around a wood burning fire - very cozy and a dining table at the end closest the kitchen. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there was nothing I needed that I couldn't find in the cupboards. There is a dishwasher and washing machine with detergent supplied if needed. There are four bedrooms, three double and one single, all very new and very comfortable. The single room is entered via an office, the desk by the window overlooking the fields and moorland at the back of the property - my daughter liked that room very much. Double room at the back has a small ensuite which is useful. Master bedroom overlooks the green and moorland which is stunning. All in all a fabulous place to spend some down time in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The owners are very friendly and made the effort to communicate with us both before our visit and afterwards to make sure our stay was satisfactory. I am already recommending it to family and friends. There is enough parking outside for your car - at one point we had three cars parked outside with no problem. I have no hesitation in recommending this cottage. Hide
