Hi this was a lovely, bespoke studio with well thought out features and fittings and very friendly, helpful owners. I wouldn't book it again due to the fact I am a very light sleeper and the storage heaters resulted in the fridge being very noisy at night as it tried to maintain it's temperature and the meter in the kitchen cupboard emitting a very loud 'clunk' every few seconds! The storage heaters made it quite difficult to control the temperature too. A real shame as the area has a couple of nice walks, useful local amenities including a gastro pub which served delicious and inexpensive fare. It's also just 90 mins drive to The Lakes.

“Lovely spot in a lovely village ...”

Lovely spot in a lovely village with very friendly hosts. Nothing was any bother for them and went out of their way to make us welcome. One niggle was the noise the fridge made on a night, but easily resolved, turn it off until the morning ! Ha ha ! Very pleased.

The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the location was a perfect base for exploring the dales. We particularly enjoyed the village and the fact that it was 'off the beaten track' for tourists compared to some others in the area.

“The Friendly Room is all it says it ...”

The Friendly Room is all it says it is. Cosy without being cramped and well equipped, the microwave oven is actually a combination oven which we found very efficient. OUtside is an elevated patio area overlooking the road. Location could not be bettered, we were able to walk every day on a different route straight out the door. Two niggles though, be prepared for some noise from the fridge and the electric meters, which, although during the day merge into the background, become more obtrusive in the quiet of the night, perhaps earplugs would help. Weighing up the pros and cons though, a second visit has to be on the books.

“Perfect for a couple”

We had a lovely long weekend in this perfectly appointed studio accomodation. An ideal location for walking from the door, and in a great village location with everything you could need. Including a fabulous "gastro" pub.

“Good Base for Three Peaks Country”

The Friendly Room is a studio apartment of above average quality well suited for a couple. The interior is quite modern with plenty of light and room. The location is just off the main road through the village, but as the village is itself off the a65, it remains pretty quiet all the time. Austwick is well situated for walks in Three Peaks country either straight from the cottage, or as a base for other places such as Settle, Horton, Clapham, and Ingleton. There is a pub and general store in the village, and a restaurant across the road. A walk of a mile takes you to a super café/bistro in the hamlet of Feizor. I would recommend this property to a couple who enjoy walking and wish to explore the area.

“A lovely place to stay.”

The Friendly Room was just that. We felt welcome and warm after some wet walks in the hills. A marvellous walking centre for Ingleborough area with fine walks starting from the front door without using a car. The owners are discreet and friendly offering a cream tea welcome and all the local advice you need. The studio room is practical and stylish - the oven is a complete microwave/grill/convection appliance - much better than the advertising suggests! Perfect for a romantic stay.

“Bijou accommodation with everything you could wish for”

Although it is literally one room, this accommmodation has been extremely well designed. The bespoke kitchen has everything you need in a compact space and the living/bedroom area is very comfortable. The village is unspoilt with a shop, pub and hotel/restaurant and there are lovely walks from the door.

About the location

AUSTWICK

Settle 5 miles; Ingleton 5 miles; Skipton 20 miles.

Situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is arguably one of the finest areas for walking in the region. With limestone pavements and scars, caves and open moors, the area has a wealth of natural interest and there are wonderful cycle tracks and walks on the doorstep. Austwick boasts a local pub serving excellent home cooked meals and a country hotel for something a little more special, as well as a shop and Post Office for visitors’ daily requirements. This quiet village is nicely off the beaten track, yet the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving distance.
