"We had a great holiday at Bill's Place."
The cottage was lovely and the weather hot and sunny. The only thing we could have done with was the use of a sun parasol as some afternoons it was to hot to sit outside without some shade. Thankyou to our hosts for providing a spotlessly clean and very well equiped cottage. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bill's Place to family and friends.

"The owner of the cottage called a week or so before our stay and how lovely she was."
Very informative, chatty and warming and when we got to the cottage, everything was exactly as she’d advised. It was spotless, possibly one of the cleanest cottages I’ve stayed in! We had a baby with us too (who crawls and is in to everything) so we were confident it was clean enough for him. I’ve already recommended the cottage to my parents, it would be perfect for them too. Thank you.

"We have stayed in Sykes cottages on numerous occasions and each one seems to better the previous one and this one is no exception."
We found Bills Place comfortable and cosy with everything we needed. It was a pity not to have a visitors book or maps to peruse but we understood that was the case before arriving so came well equipped. This is the second year we have visited Wensleydale and we thoroughly enjoyed all the walks and wonderful scenery, especially the waterfalls. We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Dobson for providing tea, coffee milk and biscuits + notes on local restaurants so that we could prebook our evening meals. All in all a wonderful holiday.

Well equipped, good sized rooms, comfortable sofa and beds. Excellent for the two of us and would be very happy to go back again.
The cottage is well located, and, being well set back from the main road, is very quiet. The village has a good butchers shop, village shop and tea shop so essentials are available if you don't want to go far. The local pub has mixed reviews, but we found it to be fine, and with friendly staff.
We did walks directly from the cottage, used the bus service to go into Hawes and then walked back via footpaths across the hills. Lots of other lovely places to drive to, in stunning scenery. A very welcome break from a very good base

It's our second visit, and I'm certain it won't be our last. Bainbridge is an excellent base for visiting the better known areas of the dales - Ribblehead Viaduct, Ingleton Waterfalls etc - but also less-visited spots like Upper Wharfdale, and almost remote places like Muker. Even for a Bronte fan like me, Howarth is an easy day trip. Also, the bakers' in Hawes sells the best shortbread on the planet.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bill's cottage in Bainbridge."
This was a lovely, clean, well equipped and thought out cottage in a wonderful setting which was well located for exploring this part of the northern Yorkshire Dales.
Stephanie, the owner, was very helpful in our initial 'access' conversation about the cottage and in providing local information. She also checked with us whilst we were there that we were happy and enjoying our stay with our needs being met.
We initially struggled with the technology of a new tv set in the property but that was quickly resolved for us when we raised it. Lovely TV although we did not need to use many of the extra features available on it. Perhaps more of an ' idiots guide' could be left for future foolproofing the use of this TV.
Don't like Sykes new website with the cottage reference search down the bottom and the ' hard sell' messages (one booked two minutes ago etc) when you are looking at a cottage online.Also popups adverst when looking at other sites reminding us of properties we had booked.
