Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gareth Reese
Lucy and Gareth are a married couple from Manchester. Dale Cottage is our little getaway in the Dales, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We've always loved The Dales, and Wensleydale in particular. Especially around West Burton the wildlife you can see on just a short walk is incredible. We've seen barn owls, deer and all sorts just on a 15 minute stroll from the door of the cottage.
The impressive walking and mountain biking are what really appeal to us the most. It's nowhere near as busy as the Lakes, yet just as interesting and varied. And plenty of pubs to stop by if you play your route correctly!
One day we'll retire up here for sure. We're counting down the days!
What makes this property unique
After some renovations in 2022 we're really happy with the style and quality of the cottage, and given its size we feel we're offering as much as we can to our guests.
The cottage also benefits a lot from the geography of West Burton itself. With no through road it's surprisingly quiet for a small village in the Dales. This means it's safe for our kids playing on the park or football on the village green, and safe for us to leave them while we enjoy a couple of drinks in the beer garden just opposite.
