We had a great holiday in a fantastic location.. The cottage had everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. It was clean and very well looked after. There was plenty of great walks right on the doorstep and we were very lucky with the weather for the time of year. Would definitely recommend Brown Hill Cottage and hope to visit again.

Excellent base for walking Swaledale.. However it is necessary to travel some distance to Reeth, Hawes, Richmond or Leyburn for groceries.

Brown Hill Cottage had everything we could possibly need for a wonderful holiday.. It was spotless, the bed we slept in was comfortable, there were books and maps in the kitchen relevant to the area and walk suggestions from the owners.The week was very cold but the cottage was lovely and warm- even when there was snow and sleet!The use of eco friendly products for washing up etc was good.There was even a bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and beautiful roses in a vase to welcome us on arrival- plus some chocolates in the lounge!
We plan to return.

Stunning little cottage in upper Swaledale surrounded by beautiful scenery, great bike riding and walking and fantastic pubs with wonderful food and beer! The owners of the cottage have gone out of their way to provide every facility needed, as my Yorkshire dales born and bred parents said, "short of nowt you've got". It's impressive that the cottage has many local craftsmanship items including the local pottery from Garden House Pottery in Reeth - we went and bought some! The cottage is very clean indeed. We used the wood burner on one evening - really toasty - and all logs provided. We also used the BBQ for the best lamb chops ever from Campbells in Leyburn. The shed provided ample room to lock up our bikes. The beds were comfy and there was ample draws and wardrobe space. Parking isn't great - a pull in off the road 20m down the lane but wasn't a problem. People less mobile may struggle with the deep steps up to the patio/front door and the internal stairs. The Punch Bowl pub is close by with great food and beer but is a longer 5-10 mins walk up the hill from the cottage than portrayed in the description. Can highly recommend the pub at Mucker for food and the Kearton hotel at Thwaite. Very enjoyable and excellent value for 4 people.

An absolutely brilliant holiday cottage.. Everything we needed for a great holiday. This cottage is so well furnished and decorated it felt like home. The separate dining room was great for both eating and for use as an office for my wifes family tree recearch. The Broadband was a bit Iffy at times but this in no way detracted from an amazing holiday. We even enjoyed having to argue with the neighbours chicken before using the parking layby.

A lovely cottage.. Tastefully modernised whilst retaining the character. Conveniently situated for Punchbowl Inn. Would definitely book this one again.

Excellent quality equipment and facilities with many thoughtful touches.. Great location. We enjoyed staying here very much. As a possible improvement, perhaps the single mattresses in the second bedroom could do with renewal.

Thank you for your feedback, a new, firmer mattress has now been ordered and will soon be replaced. I am glad you enjoyed your time at our property.

What a cottage! It wasn’t just a house - it was a “home from home”. Location was lovely, very quiet and peaceful.
All the little touches - bottle of wine in the fridge, sweets, flowers - were very appreciated.
The cottage had everything we needed and more. Weather wasn’t very good, rain and snow, but there was plenty to keep us and our 2 grandchildren occupied.
Wouldn’t hesitate to come again!!

We had an amazing Christmas at Brown Hill Cottage.. It was a really lovely cosy place to spend the holidays and we really appreciated the effort that had been put in to decorate the place and really make it Christmassy and welcoming for us. In anticipation of planning Christmas in a rented cottage, with all the cooking that entails, we'd brought along extra baking trays, roasting pans, condiments etc as these are things that in general you don't expect to be provided, however we didn't need any of it! We were able to do all of our planned festive cooking and celebrating using the cookware and crockery provided. I've never stayed anywhere so well equipped! I am already trying to work out when I might be able to go back.

Brown Hill Cottage was a well equipped and very comfortable cottage, with thoughtful and tasteful decor. It's position is ideal for walking and very peaceful. The terrace was a delight to sit on in the late afternoon, early evening sun. We had a most relaxing and enjoyable stay at Brown Hill Cottage.

A really beautifully appointed cottage, with so many lovely, homely touches and stylish décor. Had excellent mattress and bedding, and an extraordinarily well equipped kitchen. It's definitely a place we'd be happy to return to and to recommend. It was spotlessly clean too.

This is a superior cottage finished to a very high standard. The quality of all the furnishings is superior to anywhere else I have stayed. It's been really thought out with a good lamp if you want to read or sew and lovely blankets if it does get cold, would recommend to anyone. The cottage is ideally situated for walking and there is a good pub just up the road that does great meals.

A beautiful cottage, very nicely kitted out and beautifully maintained. It was very welcoming and the wood supplied for the wood burning stove was plenty for the week. Having taken cottage holidays for around 7 years now, this was by far the best we've stayed in. The bathroom was particularly well-designed.

Brown Hill Cottage was really lovely the owner went to a lot of time and effort to make this really nice. It was really a country cottage when you looked out of the bedroom window and saw sheep,wandering about, and,also looking at you through the kitchen window.

Brown Hill fitted our needs and touring plans perfectly. It is well located to explore the Northern Dales and every room is delightful. We liked it so much we stayed an extra two days. The owner is a good person to deal with. We hope to stay here again.

Fabulous cottage. Spotlessly clean with a high standard of equipment and furnishings. Lovely area with some fantastic walks.
Mrs Stevenson

It is a lovely, snug cottage right in the middle of the best of Swaledale and a perfect bolt hole away from the pressures of the work - a - day world. It is great to come back to the comfort of Brown Hill cottage after an active day out in the dale, and enjoy the high standard of fittings, equipment and furniture.
We found the addition of Wi-Fi access to the internet an additional bonus this year, which meant we could keep in touch with on-going stuff back home as necessary.
