***The Reading Rooms will be closing in December 2023 to undergo extensive renovations. The Reading Rooms is scheduled to re-open at the end of October 2024 transforming into 2 Bedroom with en-suite property with open plan kitchen/living/dining***

A genuine slice of Dales history is what's on offer here. As its name suggests, this sweet stone cottage was an important part of Oughtershaw's cultural life, and now makes a tranquil riverside retreat from which to explore the wider national park.

A beautiful autumn break

We have loved our time at the the reading rooms, a beautiful and cosy cottage, all on one level. Kitchen was very well equipped. Wood supplied for the wood burner. Situated in a small quiet hamlet The garden sits right next to the beck, & Sheep grazing on the hill sides. There was a well thought out welcome pack for us and one for the dogs. Although they did fight over the ball!
We ventured out every day. There is so much to see and do. We visited Malham tarn. Hawes is close by for any supplies and we loved just having wonder past the shops. There are walks from here also. Hardraw is close by and definitely worth a visit.
You could come here and not go anywhere as it’s so peaceful, private & tranquil.





Relaxing week away from it all

Oughtershaw and Langstrothdale are such peaceful and beautiful places. The Reading Rooms is an idyllic spot right by Oughtershaw Beck and we spent our time just taking it all in. The beds in the house were a big hit with the whole party and, along with the weather, contributed to the desire for long lie ins. One of us managed a few trips out on his bike - up and over Fleet Moss, down Langstrothdale to Cray and Buckden, round Beckermonds to Ling Gill and back to the house via the Pennine Bridleway. Otherwise it was shorts walks to 'Helen's House' at Yockenthwaite, picnics, the Tuesday market at Hawes (with the amazing Hawes yarnbombers take on Wallace and Grommit) , and the stunning waterfalls at West Burton.
