Yorkshire retreat
We had a good stay in early September, though the weather could have been better. Great walks from the bothy and easy drives in the area, Leyburn is a convenient stop and Campbell's was wonderful. We were somewhat disappointed not to have met or interacted with our hosts, but otherwise it was a good holiday.

Respite in the Dales
We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The Bothy was perfectly decorated and set up for a wonderful stay. The location could not have been better with the ability to walk to the Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle, and to embark upon longer drives and hikes throughout the Dales. We could not have asked for a better spot to stay.

Wonderful Stay at the Bothy!
My husband and I had 5 glorious nights at the Bothy and wished it could have been longer. Juliet and her husband were really helpful and accommodating, the apartment was lovely and comfortable, and quintessentially English, and we both fell in love with the sheep. The welcome was warm and the apartment had what we needed. We would not hesitate to return. Thank you Juliet!
A lovely property in stunning surroundings, it's a well presented property with everything you need for a comfortable and cosy stay, we only stayed a couple off nights but will definitely book again for a longer stay.

Well placed for walking
Plus points…clean cottage, beautiful setting, comfortable bed and many walks from the doorstep.
Constructive criticism…Property parking place well indicated, however the entrance to the cottage less so. Some signage would be useful. A pint of milk in the fridge would have been good , however there was nothing by way of a welcome. The garden needs some tlc. There was a bench from where there is a probably a beautiful view, however we couldn’t reach it as it it was so overgrown with nettles.
These are small niggles. Don’t let them put you off.

The property was gorgeous, and you could take several hikes right from the property. The Hikes were on a lovely river. The Bothy was charming, and Juliet is a wonderful host. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was especially comfortable with really nice linens.. we would love to return!
