    The location is great, right in the village but very quiet also. The Cottage has a lot of character and was a warm and cosy home for a few days. Short of nothing in the kitchen and in general. Everything was very clean and the shower was great after a long walk! Will atay again.

  • "We have spent a wonderful week at beautiful Tennant Cottage."

    It felt like home from the minute we walked in - it’s in a stunning location both in the Dales and within the village itself. It’s equipped with everything you need and more as there are so many extras. Highly recommended in every way. Kath and hubby are lovely - helpful and kind (especially when we left our wallets at the house when we left!). We are already looking to rebook.

The cottage itself is stunning it has everything you can possibly need. Great kitchen area cosy lounge area and the bedroom is also perfect with a huge bed. Owners were amazing getting it ready for us so last minute and kept in touch throughout the week . It really was a perfect week with the weather being amazing also being able to do the walks on the door step without using the car .

  • "The cottage is in a perfect location in the heart of Malham village."

    Very peaceful, which is what we wanted, as our dog is petrified of fireworks. The owners had kindly gifted us wine, biscuits and milk, and we had all of the provisions (eg tea, coffee, condiments, cleaning products, etc) we needed for the week. Unfortunately, the garden isn't enclosed, so we had to keep our dog on a lead when outdoors. The overall cleanliness could be improved, and the ceiling and grouting in the bathroom needs attention.

  • "A lovely cottage in a superb location."

    The location was very picturesque with a brook over the road from the cottage, hills and fields behind and the beautiful stone built buildings of Malham around. Excellent location for going on walks either down the river valley or to Malham Cove and the two local waterfalls. The cottage itself was both stylishly and comfortably furnished, with good quality mattresses on the beds, which is unusual. We had no problems parking our estate car in the parking space.

    The Pennine Way is right outside the door with walks to Malham Cove, Janets Foss and many more wonderful rambles. When you return tired and hungry the cottage has everything you need - a log fire if its cold or an outdoor area in which to relax and listen to the stream babbling as it flows past, a few feet from the cottage. If you fancy a night off from catering or just want a pint, The Buck Inn, Lister Arms and Beck Hall are just across the stream and your dog will be made even more welcome than you, and we were made very welcome. We met the owners one afternoon, they are lovely people who have gone to great lengths to make the cottage a place you will want to return to. Thank you Kath and David.

    The cottage itself could not be better, spacious, exceptional location, very well equipt, a home from home. My partner and I, and our dog cannot wait to return! We had a slightly bizarre experience in booking the cottage back in December, we booked via a different website and paid what we thought was the balance, transpired this was just a booking fee. We then received several phone calls from Sykes informing us that we needed to pay the balance via phone, this seemed odd and we were cautious, we thought we had booked via the original website. However we went ahead (as we would have lost the booking fee) and everything from that point was smooth sailing. Sykes should work with the original booking company (they know who they are) to make this experience smoother for future customers. All in all though, a super holiday thanks to fantastic hosts and accommodation.

The only thing i would say is, if you are taking your dog with you, be aware that there is no gate at the side and so if your dog likes to wander, he could get out but it was no hardship really, all in all, we had a wonderful week and would give this cottage 5*****. we will be going again

About the location

MALHAM

Settle 7 miles; Skipton 12 miles.

Situated at the head of Malhamdale amidst superb open limestone countryside, the picturesque village of Malham is a magnet for visitors to the Dales who come to see one of Britain's most impressive natural features - Malham Cove. The Cove consists of a natural cavern or 'amphitheatre' of limestone rock stretching 75 metres in height and 300 metres around the perimeter. A steep walk up man-made steps is rewarded with a superb view across moors and limestone pavements to Malham Tarn - the Pennines' highest natural lake. The village itself has pubs and tea rooms and a National Park Centre. Mountain bike hire can be arranged locally. There is excellent walking in all directions, making Malham a great base for a Dales holiday.
