    The cottage was sufficiently warm with plenty of hot water and the beds provided us with many good nights rest. Some surfaces were a little dusty and the settees in the lounge a little malodorous, but the kitchen and bathroom were both very clean and hygienic. Bedding and towels were excellent. We were generally very happy with the cottage. Excellent location and we fully understood the parking arrangements as we have stayed in Langthwaite before. We would certainly recommend Arklehurst to others and return again. Thank you for providing the opportunity to holiday there.

    It retained a sense of the history that is so evident in Langthwaite on the outside. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the kitchen had what was needed. Great to have a fire in July when it was a bit soggy in the evening. For me, this cottage is perfect for dog owners and those who are keen to walk the Dales. The perfect base.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely place. The cottage is lovely with comfortable beds and all you need for a week away. Enjoyed the walks with the dogs. Both pubs are welcoming. Langthwaite is a charming place. The next village Reeth has am amazing Ice Cream shop. Would definitely visit again.
