A cosy, romantic, dog friendly holiday cottage for 2 people, WiFI & 3 pubs nearby
In the centre of Reeth, you shall find Half Moon Stable. A cosy, romantic, dog friendly holiday cottage for two people which provides all the essentials you need for a fantastic holiday in the Yorkshire Dales.
Originally a stable as the names suggests, but now it has been transformed into a small but perfectly formed detached Swaledale holiday cottage. Tucked down a quiet lane just off the village green in Reeth with two pleasant outdoor seating areas and an enclosed patio – perfect for stays during the summer months.
This Reeth holiday cottage provides a cosy and enjoyable space to call your own as each action-packed day draws to a close. Downstairs is an open plan living and kitchen area, off the kitchen is the front door and tiled entrance hallway. Off the entrance hall is the downstairs shower room and the staircase leads to the upstairs double bedroom.
The cottage is heated throughout by modern electric radiators to keep you toasty warm in the winter months. It has free WIFI and a smart TV in the living area with a large comfortable sofa – ideal for cosy nights snuggled up with a glass of wine and your favourite film or a good book!
Half Moon Stable has fresh, bright décor throughout, providing a relaxing ambiance. Downstairs the light floods in through the double-glazed patio doors which leads out to one of the enclosed seating areas which is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee.
This holiday cottage is ideal for relaxing breaks surrounded by countryside with ambles straight from the door. In a central position in a picturesque village location as well as with many more stunning villages to explore just a short drive away. What’s more, it is only a minute’s stroll to the various local amenities which includes cafes, gift shops, two bakeries, post office with corner shop, ice cream parlour and of course, three great pubs serving real ales and real pub grub.
Due to the location, situated in the heart of Swaledale, within the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales National Park, it is an unbeatable getaway for keen walkers and simply perfect for those hoping to traverse the local area on two wheels. There is so much to explore from rugged, wild open moorlands to waterfalls, rivers, stunning hay meadows and fascinating mining remains from the lead mining era that the area is also famed for. There are also some long-distance trails such as the Coast to Coast and the Pennine Way that pass through Swaledale. Sections of these challenging walks can be enjoyed as day hikes straight from Half Moon Stable.
Slightly further afield, via a very scenic routes over picturesque moorland, you’ll find the popular market towns of Hawes and Leyburn. Certainly, worth a visit, especially on market days where there is a huge variety of local produce available. There are also many attractions to visit such as the Rope Makers, the Wensleydale Cheese factory, and The Dales Countryside Museum based in Hawes. Leyburn offers more amenities including The Chocolate Shop. Not so far away is the town of Richmond, with Georgian Theatre, a wonderfully restored Castle, an Abbey and again plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs. What’s more, The Forbidden Corner at Middleham is a fantastic day out with a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies, and surprises to explore within a 4-acre garden.
Half Moon Stable is one of our dog friendly cottages and welcome two well behaved dog. Parking is on a first come first served basis on the Village Green.

Just the right size for 2 people plus dog
Tucked away behind a pub on the village green ( we didnt hear any pub related noises while we were there). Fantastic little stable conversion, just big enough for 2 people and a dog. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. The bedroom had no wardrobes, but there was plenty of room for 2 full size suitcases on the floor next to the bed. There is yard to the front and rear of the property with chairs- both catch the sun at some point in the day. Less than a 1 minute walk into the picturesque town centre and stunning countryside beyond.

Lovely little place
The cottage was a lovely, cosy little place to stay. It was nice & warm and snug. Adequate space for 2 of us with 2 small dogs. It would have been nice to have a little table or trays for eating, but otherwise it has all you need for a break away. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

This was a lovely cottage. I was hoping to be closer to Richmond centre but it was a 20min drive. Reeth is lovely and the ice cream parlour is delicious.

This is not a complaint just a few wee thoughts following our lovely stay
Absolutely perfect wee place to stay!! Reeth is gorgeous and so cute.
Accommodation was perfect for our wee getaway the hand made kitchen was perfect, and the use of the small amount of space was brilliant.
Loved the outdoor areas and hottub.
The only wee things we thought could be improved were as follows:
Firepit wasnt cleaned out when we arrived
May be wise to get some bbq utensils
Throw needed washing as covered with dog hair and smelled. Ps yes know it was a dog friendly place but throw needed washing.
New peg basket and ice tray needed as both broken.
Shower tray edges need a good clean
For a 3 night stay as ours was an extra towel pp would of been fab.
Bathroom was practical but could do with a wee update.
A bed sheet would of been fab as it was so gorgeously hot when we stayed.
Wr would love to come back in the future as we were so relaxed and loved your place.
Xxxx
Please dont be offended by above we just felt the few wee things mentioned let down the amazing wee property

Not a good experience
So small it could be a dog kennel. Told the day before it was not suitable for anyone with mobility issues and as I have arthritis in both knees it was not at all suitable but not refundable so went anyway. Big steps outside and steep stairs inside.

Mainly clean, dog friendly, miniscule
This is a nicely converted stable, with some good features, but the bedroom is tiny. The key safe was difficult to find in the dark, and the door awkward to unlock and the key release needs to be mentioned in the blurb. Whilst it is a well thought out property, the stairway is extremely narrow and the bed sticks out across the landing area. Not sufficient room in the bedroom to stand properly, nor is there any room for dressing/undressing or for the case for that matter. We were up on business and did not find the accommodation the relaxing haven we had hoped for. The bathroom has mould growing along the base of the shower. Between the shower and washbasin it was dirty.

Beautiful Reeth
This property was very clean,beautiful from the outside but just way too small for us. Staircase tiny and no room to pass each other in bedroom. Think a little more detail is needed to relay just how small it is. Perfect for an overnighter but for 3 plus nights it just isn't big enough. Barely enough room for 2 adults and we had our dog too. Gorgeous property,lovely and spotlessly clean but just too small for us. Maybe we just didn't realise. Outside space is huge ,Gorgeous hot tub if you like them is a bonus.

Small but everything you need in a great location
Lovely property, outdoor space is excellent just a shame the property next door The Black Bull was having building work done when we stayed and it was very noisy dusty and a bit intrusive.
Hot tub fabulous only downside to outdoor area was the slate chippings, our dog hated walking on them.
Couldn’t be better located for walks and pubs.
