This is a Low Row cottage not to be missed. Within a good walk is the village pub, which serves fine ales and good food, whilst three miles away is the popular village of Reeth.

The village of Low Row is made up of a scattering of traditional farms and cottages to the north of the River Swale. The village of Reeth, just a short drive away, dates back to Saxon times and became of sufficient size and importance to be mentioned in the Domesday Book. Later it became a centre for hand-knitting and local lead mining. Its eighteenth-century houses and hotel clustered around the triangular village green make it one of the very popular Dales villages. Just short drives away are Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater and Hardraw Force (England's highest single drop waterfall at 99ft).

The view from the front garden is fabulous and there are lots of wonderful walks to do straight from the cottage door. A beautiful, peaceful and restorative place to stay. We are definitely planning on visiting again

It is well equipped and spotlessly clean. We had stayed before and found it very cosy. On this occasion, however, there was no heating from the Saturday when we arrived until midday Wednesday, so we spent a very cold and uncomfortable few days. The cause was a lack of heating oil (from the point of arrival) and resolving it was made more difficult by it being Easter weekend. The owner's representatives on the ground were most helpful, doing all they could to make us more comfortable and obtain fuel. The owner, to their credit, provided a degree of compensation. Sykes played their role as intermediary effectively. It's clear, though, that in a case of serious disagreement between owner and holiday maker, Sykes has no responsibility for resolving it. We did very much enjoy the last couple of days of our stay, once the heating was back on.

The road up is challenging but more than worth the effort. The people who manage the house were very helpful...
