    Thank you Chris for a spotless farmhouse again. The Grandchildren loved staying here and particularly the window sill in the back bedroom, which apparently, was perfect for their dolls. Also, the eagles fascinated everyone.

  • "We absolutely loved staying here."

    We had a warm welcome along with a lovely bottle of wine and some biscuits! The farmhouse is lovely and spacious and suited our family of 5 and a dog (whom I might add really didn't want to leave!). I only marked it down slightly on comfort was that we found the super king size bed a bit uncomfortable, we could feel the springs and it sloped quite a bit, but it didn't stop us enjoying the place. Helpful hints? A bit of info as to what your recycling takes, we didn't realise that you could add glass until after the refuse collection had gone (we can't recycle glass in ours at home). The info is great in your welcome book, just needs a little updating - the Ingleton falls is now £10 per person! Overall, I would definitely return, such a beautiful part of the world.

    Many thanks for feedback, sorry the bed was uncomfortable for you, the bed is foam mattress and was new last winter. I think your issues come from it being a bed that is used to split into a twin which other bookings require, but we will do some research and see if we can find a brand more suitable. Will take other feedback on board. Property Owner

    The cottage is spacious, very comfortable and has a very well equipped kitchen. The garden is big and our springer spaniel loved it. Location is great and Ingleton water falls is an absolute must see. We also visited Malham tarn which was an amazing walk too. We would definitely stay here again.

    The walk down to Horton and Ribblesdale was just lovely and enjoyed a drink in the pub at the end :-). Perfect spot to explore the dales with Settle being down the road and Hawes half an hour away it was just perfect. The whole family and two dogs had the best time and we can’t wait to come back :-D

    ! The farmhouse is perfectly placed for great walks and not too far away from horton in ribblesdale village, where the pubs serve great food and drink. The addition of the downstairs loo, since our last visit in 2021 was an added bonus. The only thing I would suggest is the addition of an extra dining chair, we used an outside chair which suited us fine. Greengates is great, just thinking about the place makes me smile and we'll be back

  • "We really enjoyed our week in this lovely, characterful house."

    It was comfortable and welcoming, with plenty of enclosed garden space for our 2 dogs to explore. The property could do with an additional bathroom, but I understand this is planned for the near future. Notes for owner: it's difficult to keep muddy and wet dogs out of the sitting room as the door catch doesn't work (and to shut them in the sitting room when someone knocks on the front door!). The Hive thermostat control was a bit of a mystery to start with, and the batteries in it ran out which caused momentary panic and a quick trip to the Co-op in Settle.

  • "Absolutely loved the property, beautifully furnished and decorated, fabulous location."

    Just one or two points that might help, information book in cottage is very out of date, needs up dating. No barbecue as mentioned. One toilet for more than two people, very difficult to manage, as outside toilet would do, there is enough room. The pubs were not good that were close by. We chose a cottage to be within walking distance of a pub. The first one was dirty and only sold wine by a little bottle that you get on an air flight and not even chilled. No food on the day we arrived. The next pub, as mentioned in the information book by other people, was extremely unfriendly almost to the point of being rude and doesn’t allow dogs. If you want to eat round here you can only get food until about 8.00 and most have lots of days when the are not open at all. The same with cafés, so you need to do your research before you leave or make your plans for the day. One or two maintenance issues for note. Toilet flush needs to be pulled up into up right position, otherwise water continually runs! Top Iven doesn’t appear to work to capacity. Bottom oven and trays need a really good clean. Catch on kitchen window is broken. Glass in kitchen window is broken. These are not criticisms just if no one mentions them the owners may not be aware. We had an amazing holiday, thank you so much, also for the welcome bottle of wine, lovely touch after a long journey!

Only one bathroom which was fine for 4 of us but if you were a family of 7 which it caters for there might be a bit of a queue! Loved the position. The quite location was fabulous to just chill out.

  • "Greengates was as comfortable and relaxing as ever."

    A few things took some light familiarisation as the oven is not wonderful, more necessary this time as the local pubs have gone down hill a bit. The Theakstones Old Peculiar beer was excellent but the food could only be described as adequate if you just needed refueling after a day in the hills. The Booths supermarket in Settle is absolutely brilliant! The lady next doors chickens' eggs are really nice and tasty. The bottle of nice wine and packet of biscuits on the table was a nice touch.

  • "The holiday cottage had several faults that we were going to complain about but wasn't sure what the outcome would be."

    The toilet stopped working almost instantly and we spent the whole week using an outdoor loo! Not easy when it is the middle of the night and it is pitch black. We didn't call the owner as he was up in Warwick flying birds of prey and it was a bank holiday weekend! We knew in reality that he would not be able to get someone to sort it and we didn't want to cause disruption to our holiday by reporting it later in the week. There were several light bulbs that didn't work including one front room light and my mum's bedroom lamp - she had to take the bulb out of the ceiling light herself and put it in the bedroom lamp. She then spent time worrying that the owner would think she had stolen a bulb and we spent some time shopping in Settle looking for a replacement bulb for the ceiling light. The wiring in the kitchen is bizarre, there are 6 light switches in the kitchen and only when you got them flicked on in the correct sequence did the kitchen lights come on or the extractor fan work. The fridge was dirty when we got there (we take all our food with us to cook when we go away as often the cottages we stay at are very isolating) so we cleaned the fridge before put the food in. The heating came on every morning and was set to 20 degrees which even when we adjusted the thermostat the night before somehow readjusted itself, so the upstairs bedroom became very hot each morning - we were unable to turn the radiators down as they didn't have thermostats. The tap in the kitchen became quite wobbly and looked like it was going to come off at one stage, so then we made sure we didn't touch the tap for the rest of the week. The shower was poor - but then the owner did say in his manual when we arrived that the shower was poor. On a positive it did have a bath so we just had baths. I am genuinely not one to normally complain at all about anything but there were a lot of little things that we felt were poor to say we spent £820 for 1 week at this cottage. The location was lovely, just as advertised but I would not book this cottage again due to all of the little things that just weren't taken care of very well.

  • "The cottage is lovely and we had a great time in the Yorkshire Dales."

    The location is very peaceful but not too far away from villages and tourist destinations (Including Settle, Hawes, Ribblehead Viaduct and Ingleton Waterfalls). It's just a short walk (0.7 miles) down into Horton where you'll find a couple of pubs and a cafe (no shops, though). The cottage is decorated sympathetically with a lot of old wooden furniture which really adds to the character and the beds and sofa were really comfortable. We did have a few minor problems with the cottage: the front is cobbled with large pebbles which creates a really uneven surface and the step up to the front gate is quite high and my parents (who are both a little unsteady on their feet now) struggled with this. It's also worth bearing in mind that this cottage was built over 400 years ago so expect creaky stairs and uneven floors inside. The lane to the village is essentially the start of the ascent up to Pen-Y-Ghent, so if you're driving watch out for hikers - they seem to leave their highway code back on the main road and just walk in the middle of the road.

    Lovely quiet location right on the fellside. The walk-in pantry is great with sooooo much space, and the kitchen is really well equipped. The bathroom is huge, and if it were mine I think I would have a separate enclosed shower cubicle rather than the over-the-bath - that said the electric shower was good. It does need a towel rail/horse - about the ONLY criticism we could make. Agree with one other guest comment about the garden - it is fantastic, especially for those like us with dogs - fully enclosed and safe, and bags of room. But as a conscientious pooh picker-upper the long grass means you need to follow the hounds around (even at 6 am still in your PJ's) to avoid missing one that goes unseen! Overall a really comfortable, lovely stay.
