Nestled in the heart of Reeth, away from any roads, this former barn or cow’us (cow house) as they are known locally, has been transformed into a charming retreat, perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. These cow houses are a distinctive feature of the Yorkshire Dales landscape and are rarely converted into residential use due to planning restrictions, making this stay a rare opportunity. Reeth itself is a picturesque Swaledale village boasting quaint tea rooms, traditional pubs, and a cobbled market square. The surrounding landscape offers an array of activities, from strolls to challenging hikes. Directly from the doorstep, wander through scenic trails leading to the stunning Swaledale Valley. Whether seeking tranquillity or adventure, this cosy retreat in Reeth offers an ideal base to experience the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

This traditional stone cow’us is a tranquil haven tucked away in a serene spot. As you walk across your gravel courtyard, your retreat awaits. Bursting with character, this unique property features high-beamed ceilings, a walled garden and oodles of traditional character. The cow’us has an open-plan living area with a cosy wood burner at its heart. Two well-positioned armchairs invite you to enjoy a snug evening, warmed by the stove’s flickering flames. The same flickering flames from the stove can also be enjoyed from the comfortable king-size bed, this creates a truly special atmosphere. A spiral staircase leads up to a charming mezzanine area with glass balustrades, 12 hanging globe lights, a fitted kitchen, a table for two and a comfy sofa.

In the morning, refresh yourself in the shower room before stepping out to your charming courtyard. Enjoy a traditional cup of Yorkshire tea amidst your peaceful surroundings, then embark on a walk through the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Lovely quirky cottage. Well appointed, comfy bed and very clean. The courtyard at night was very pretty with all the lights. Lovely and quiet at night despite being in the village behind the pub. The walled yard was perfect for the dogs and we appreciate being allowed to have them with us on holiday. Friendly village and good pub and shop. I

Fabulous quirky little cottage, well equipped with a very comfortable bed. The log fire is a dream and makes the cottage toasty warm.Would recommend bringing a supply of logs with you although the village shop did sell them. The welcome cake was delicious. The fully enclosed rear garden is ideal if visiting with a dog. The village is lovely with a Read morebakery, small shop, arts and craft centre, a small market on Fridays and two lovely pubs. There are delightful walks straight from the cottage and a secure nearby field and river with public access for a dog to enjoy off the lead. For a get away from it all walking location this is perfect. Hide

A very lovely and cosy place to stay. The candle wall is really sweet, the bed is comfy, the fire warms up the room nicely, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Great spot for exploring the surrounding countryside. The ginger cake was a lovely treat too!

The Little Barn was a beautiful, quirky and cosy place to stay. Reeth is a lovely village, with a lot of amazing walks from the doorstep, and The Little Barn is in a very central and convenient position within it. It's very quiet but with a welcoming and dog friendly pub less than a minute away.

A quaint, cosy retreat in a great location. This was my second stay & I would stay again. The barn has everything you need for your stay. The outdoor space is a great asset, looks beautiful lit up at night, sat under the parasol, dining al fresco! Location felt very safe & secure. The village green & all the amenities are just a short stroll awayRead more. Hide
