"Picture postcard hotel. We had a garden room which was tastefully decorated and being able to sit in our own conservatory was great but the hotel had a bar and snug which were also lovely spaces. Beautiful garden with stunning views over to Hawes and it was just so peaceful to sit out there. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast and we also had dinner in the hotel and this was beautifully presented and delicious."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is beautiful, the room was stunning, quirky decor which I loved. The bed was huge! And comfy. Was a little disappointed with some little bits. 1 there was a hole in the wall where the door handle had hit it so many times. A metal plate had been fixed to the floor to stop this which was ugly and not in keeping with the room or hotel and the hole not patched up. 2 there was a square section of tiles missing off the bathroom wall and a wooden board in its place. Such a shame as a beautiful bathroom. Robes were in the wardrobe if wanted, lovely touch. Had no remote for the tv but the lovely guy who checked us in searched high and low for one bless him but was unable to. The next day we had one in our room but the tv Chanel’s we could get were Welsh. The Netflix app was foreign so still did f get to watch tv. After a long day walking a cup of tea and wind down bit of tv was what I fancied but was unable to on both nights. Breakfast was gorgeous I had salmon and scrambled egg my partner had full English, he said was perfect. Toast and tea and coffee plus yoghurt fruits and cereals and fruit juice. We never ate here in the evening as was closed on our first day (Monday) and second day we was out till late. The pub across the road the black bull had stunning food and drinks reasonably priced very friendly too. Would come again Reeth is stunning"
