  • "What a cosy and comfortable place to stay!"

    It was easy to find (because directions given were helpful!) and convenient for sightseeing in the area or for taking day trips into Leeds and to Harrogate and York. There was a little kerfuffle with the gas meter situation, but Gordon was on top of it and kept me informed until it was resolved. I’d definitely stay here again!

    Thank you Holly. So glad you found it a cosy and comfortable stay and made the most of the convenient location. We were very happy to have you. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is listed as dog friendly but any cottage with no garden is not dog friendly."

    \\ The cottage was not clean - toilet had not been flushed and the floors were dirty. No space in cupboards to put any if our food, because they were packed with the owners items. Had to leave our food on worktops in the kitchen which, again, was not good with dogs. Wardrobe was not empty and had wire hangars which I would definitely not use. Very disappointing, having said this it is a lovely cottage and if you have no animals and do not want to use the kitchen at all, and live out if your suitcase its great.

    Thank you for you review. I was sorry to read that you found the property had some cleanliness issues, if you had called us immediately we could have sent round our cleaners to rectify this for you. It is usually spotless and we can only apologise it did not meet expected standards on this occasion. The property does accept pets, but we do not advertise that there is a garden at the property. There are several open green spaces within walking distance, including Horsforth Hall park at the bottom of Town St and we have always found it a convenient and comfortable place to visit with our dog. Perhaps it would be helpful for us to point these out for guests and we will add this to our welcome pack information. We will be visiting the property shortly and I will check the both cupboards and wardrobes. We do leave some basic supplies for guests’ use including tea, coffee, sugar and condiments etc in one of the kitchen cupboards but perhaps there ought to be clearer indication to help yourselves to this. Thank you for pointing that out. We do store extra linen in one of the wardrobes but there is still space to hang your clothes. We will remove any wire hangers. We had not been aware they would be a problem. Kind regards, the owners Property Owner
