Just 5 miles west of Leyburn, and on the very edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Redmire village is like a picture postcard, with country walks and some spectacular views over Lower Wensleydale. Superb walking and cycling is available direct from the door, a perfect base from which to explore the pretty Dales villages. Try the circular walk from Redmire to Aysgarth taking in both the Redmire Falls and spectacular Aysgarth Falls. Castle Bolton where Mary Queen of Scots was held in the 16th century is a stone’s throw away or enjoy a stroll through the Bolton Estate to Wensley that gave its name to the entire Dale.
Nearby are the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn with their many shops, pubs, restaurants and craft workshops where craftsmen display their skills and sell hand made products. Historical castles and ruins are numerous with Bolton Castle almost on the doorstep and Middleham Castle a few miles away. From Middleham square you can sit and watch the impressive sight as the racehorses pass through on their way to the gallops. The Forbidden Corner is just down the road with its labyrinth of tunnels and underground caves to explore. There is so much to do and see you will certainly want to come back. Shop and restaurant 5 miles, nearest pub 200 yards.
Suitable for up to 2 pets

We found Redmire a delightful Yorkshire stone village.
We found Redmire a delightful Yorkshire stone village. We liked the location with good access in most directions and ample footpaths in all directions. Lightfoot House fulfilled our expectations and needs. It is welcoming and on a chilly damp Yorkshire day a pleasure to return to. We felt our hosts had taken trouble to make our stay enjoyable. Any concerns we may have had around the current pandemic were adequately dealt with both in the booking process and presentation of the property.

Lovely cottage with a nice feel, in a lovely part of the world. Well equipped. My only suggestion is to replace the bouncy, saggy king mattress. But we loved our stay overall.

It's a shame that there is no garden, and this is unclear on the website.
It's a shame that there is no garden, and this is unclear on the website.
Also let down by the damp and mould.
Bathroom needs an overhaul. Again the damp is an issue in the bathroom, the toilet doesn't flush properly and it would benefit from a shower.
Rest of the cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Loved the super king sized bed and the log burner.

A fantastically well appointed cottage.
A fantastically well appointed cottage. The owners have thought of everything, there is nothing that is lacking, it is very comfortable and the local pub just great. If there is a small criticism in that you can't stand up to shower but it is so minor. Just great, and the welcome pack with wine such a surprise. Can't recommend this highly enough, hope to go back
