This outstanding, stone-built detached cottage is situated down a quiet lane in the small village of Marrick, just three miles from Reeth. This unique cottage dates back to the 17th century and was a former Post Office, along with the dwelling where the Post Mistress resided.

The ground floor layout is spacious and charming with exposed beams and stonework throughout, and the main sitting room is cosy and warm with an open fire providing a lovely place to relax, enjoy a tipple and reflect on the day’s outing. The snug, just off the kitchen, provides a lovely open fire for those cold winter nights.
