Simon June 2021

“I wanted to get away from things for a few days and Wray Green was perfect.”

It is old fashioned with no TV reception but very good WiFi. I brought my own drinking water but it was no great issue. Simple but lovely and I would love to go again. Owners were thoughtful and considerate. I'm not sure why there are walls everywhere because they are not for keeping the sheep in. Their surprise appearances were the best bit of the stay.

- Simon, June 2021
Patricia May 2021

“Wray Green is exactly as the posting on the website describes.”

Remote, beautiful views and old-worldly. The guest information is the most comprehensive we have ever seen. Very useful. We would like to visit again.

- Patricia, May 2021
John April 2021

“We were not told that the fields around the property were full of sheep as our dog chases them i have had him tied up for five days,you have me the wrong information and you should refund my money.”

We had to leave the house 2 days early because of this

- John, April 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of the problems you encountered with your dog during your stay. The listing does advise that 2 well behaved dogs are welcome, but due to the location of the property and surrounding farmers fields the owner cannot be held responsible should the farmer move livestock into fields next to the cottage. It is regrettable that you decided to leave due to this reason. Property Owner

“Wray Green is such a beautiful cottage, with history and period features.”

Plus being based in the Howgill Fells, you are surrounded with picturesque views. It’s a great base for the Lake District but also walks in the Yorkshire Dales. We even drove to the North York Moors whilst we were there, so there is plenty to go see and do. Plus plenty of walks literally on your doorstep. I cannot recommend Wray Green enough.

- Michelle, November 2019
Joanna October 2019

“Lovely remote cottage with stunning views.”

Good location for both Lakes and Dales. Beds were very comfy. Unlike the listing the WiFi was reliable and good. We couldn’t get the DVD player to work at all. Kept saying wrong region but the regions matched. Was a small thing as the fire was better than tv anyway.

- Joanna, October 2019
Charlie October 2019

“Just returned from 3rd trip to Wray Green.”

It's such a great location. The views and privacy are fantastic.

- Charlie, October 2019
Alison September 2019

Awful left property after 10 minutes no help from Sykes now taking legal advice to recover rental payment had to book another property

“Nice walking area.”

Kate July 2019

“This was our second time staying at Wray Green.”

We absolutely love travelling and it seemed strange to go back somewhere again so soon with so much of the World yet to explore but we all wanted very much to be there again. Wray Green cottage is simply a little spot of heaven. The booking process was so easy and it is tempting to return again and stay for a month. We love this place. The solitude and peace make your ears ring when it is not being broken by the sound of sheep calling to one another across the great expanse of the fells.

- Kate, July 2019
Elizabeth Jane June 2019

“Superb family holiday .”

We had a wonderful time.

- Elizabeth Jane, June 2019

- David, May 2019
Paul March 2019

“A truly gorgeous cottage, has everything you need for a wonderful stay, including peace and quiet.”

- Paul, March 2019
Charlie September 2018

“Second visit to Wray Green because it's such a great place to stay.”

Well go back again next year. Can't fault it. The location is breath taking. Used the owners family owned pub, the Kings Head in Ravenstonedale, quite a bit. Local, excellent food and service.

- Charlie, September 2018
Louise April 2018

“We had an amazing holiday with our friends and the dog.”

. beautiful scenery, lovely walks and friendly farmer! We where lucky enough to be there to see all the baby lambs jumping around! We had a clear night on one night and the stary sky was the best I've seen... we even saw a shooting star! The cottage was full of character and history, comfy beds and bathroom facilities. A wonderful open fire in the living room and a log burner in the kitchen. We had a couple of issues but the owner responded immediately and rectified these... The only negative comment we had was the old electric arga cooker... we followed the instructions but it took us 2 hours to cook pizza and chips. . We ended up going on Utube for further instructions on the cooker. We needed to turn hob and oven on about 3/4hours before we needed it... so that caused some problems food wise in first few days... however apart from that I couldn't fault it And we would love to return! Was a magical stay... and a much needed break from the rat race! Would highly recommend. Just need some more realistic info on that cooker!

- Louise, April 2018
Simon April 2018

“The owners were very accommodating with check in time.”

The cottage was in good shape and a wonderful location.

- Simon, April 2018
Richard February 2018

“We love the remoteness of Wray Green and the cosy, comfortable, rustic interior.”

Thank you again for a lovely stay.

- Richard, February 2018
Leah February 2018

“We've visited Wray Green before so knew what to expect.”

Really well equipped cottage, very thoughtfully presented. Windows are very draughty and during bad weather the cottage was difficult to keep warm. Owners had kindly left towels by the windows to mop up leaks and there were oil heaters at the property which we moved around to heat the rooms we were using. The charm and history of the property made up for being chilly! Beds are really comfortable and facilities are brilliant. Will definitely be returning.

- Leah, February 2018
Sharon November 2017

“Really loved Wray Green Cottage, the location and the views are superb, plenty of great places to visit locally without a long journey.”

The bed is also exceptionally comfortable which is always a bonus

- Sharon, November 2017
Charlie June 2017

“Location of Wray Green is amazing.”

The house is beautiful inside with well equipped kitchen and great open fire and log burner. Thoroughly recommend it and we will definitely be going back.

- Charlie, June 2017
Rachel January 2017

“We want to live here (and so does our dog!”

) For peace, stunningly beautiful views and isolation, this really is an amazing find and we can't wait to go back. Also, the owners are really helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble.

- Rachel, January 2017
Peter October 2016

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Wray Green.”

We loved being right out in the countryside but within easy reach of places like Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh. The cottage was very comfortable and we liked the traditional furnishings. Even in stormy weather this is a magical and atmospheric place to stay. We certainly plan to return in future.

- Peter, October 2016
Patrick October 2016

“A genuinely unique experience to live among the wildlife and beautiful countryside despite being a stones throw from the motorway.”

Standing still and hearing almost nothing save for the birds and sheep was a superb experience. A wonderful farmhouse with a mixture of basic and modern facilities and plenty of home entertainment on hand in the shape of board games, DVD's or cards. The surrounding area is breathtaking with plenty of walks or alternatively short drives to places of interest. The local pubs are very friendly and the local shepherd is willing to tell a story or two about the place. All in all a definite recommendation for a relaxing holiday, a credit to the owners.

- Patrick, October 2016
Grace September 2016

“Excellent cottage in an amazing location.”

Very well stocked kitchen, didn't want for anything. The views are stunning out of every window. Very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable stay.

- Grace, September 2016
Kate May 2016

“The cottage was beautiful, it was comfortable and well equipped, cosy and welcoming.”

The views were to die for and we will definitely be booking again.

- Kate, May 2016
Jane April 2016

“A wonderful historic cottage in a stunning location, with amazing views from every window.”

We immediately felt at home and soon settled in with cosy roaring fires. The sheep and lambs just outside made our holiday. Everything we could possibly need was provided and the owners were friendly and helpful.

- Jane, April 2016
Francis March 2016

“Wray Green is a fantastic rural retreat.”

We were in need of some peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. There were some amazing views and walks right on the doorstep. The open fire was fantastic. We are booking again for later in the year and have recommended the cottage friends.

- Francis, March 2016
Danielle January 2016

“Absolutely perfect getaway weekend with a group of friends.”

The cottage well and truly felt like home. It had everything we needed, exactly as stated in the description. Overall, a beautiful cottage.

- Danielle, January 2016
Jo November 2015

“This was our second and eagerly anticipated return to Wray Green having stayed 2 years ago.”

We planned a purely relaxing and de-stressing week with another couple and the almost constant rain and gale force winds conspired with us. We enjoyed sitting by a roaring log fires, eating, drinking and reading one of the many books left to entertain guests in the warm and characterful 17th century farm house. The views are stunning on a clear day, the quiet and fresh air intoxicating and the sheep peering in the living room window entertaining. We jokingly hoped to be snowed in so that we didn't have to leave and woke up on the final day with a scene to grace the loveliest Christmas card. The owner was very prompt and helpful in getting the track de-iced and much as we were sad to leave we will definitely be booking to come back again very soon.

- Jo, November 2015
Katherine November 2015

“This was our second time at Wray Green.”

We like how remote the property is. It is very well equipped with everything you are likely to need. It is a very cosy and homely property, just what is needed for a relaxing holiday.

- Katherine, November 2015
Chris October 2015

“Absolutely loved Wray Green - the most stunning views (and sheep!”

) all around, loads of great walks and the house itself had so much character, interest and warmth. The owners were also very helpful and friendly. All perfect.

- Chris, October 2015
Lorraine July 2015

“17th Century cottage with bags of character.”

We all LOVED it. Lots of walks available. Chris gave me loads of information about the cottage and the area before we left home and even phoned me again when I got home after the holiday to make sure everything was ok. What a conscientious owner. Very thoughtful! We LOVED the cottage and will certainly consider returning there another time.

- Lorraine, July 2015
James May 2015

“The cottage was beautiful and in such a lovely setting.”

The owners are very helpful and care about the cottage. There are several lovely dining pubs nearby - all of which are very good. I would certainly go back to this cottage.

- James, May 2015
S April 2015

“The owners were particularly welcoming and helpful.”

We immediately felt right at home in the house which was very comfortably furnished in a charming traditional style. The location was splendid, with magnificent views and great walking all around. We enjoyed the 1000 piece jigsaws (all 3 completed) and the children loved the board games that were provided. No one missed watching TV!

- S, April 2015
David December 2014

“Wray Green is well positioned for walks from the doorstep and has stunning views.”

The property is cosy and welcoming with a large coal fire in the lounge and log burner in the Kitchen/Dining area. We were fortunate that it snowed during our stay so a combination of glowing fires and snow outside made it very appealing.

- David, December 2014
Katherine November 2014

“The cottage was in a lovely rural and remote setting, just what we wanted.”

When we arrived, we were greeted by the cleaner, she was very welcoming and friendly. It was very homely and very well stocked with crockery etc. It supplied everything we needed, even down to a good selection of board games, books and details of local walks and pubs. It was good that the owner had a supply of coal and wood for the fire and trusted people to be honest and pay for what was used. We would definitely like to return.

- Katherine, November 2014
Gary October 2014

- Lynne, September 2014
Jen September 2014

“This was the best holiday cottage we have stayed in for the last 13 years we have been renting all around the UK.”

It was so peaceful and relaxing and what views to behold. Cosy, clean and quiet. We felt very at home. The dogs loved it too, such greats walks from the garden gate. The lovely owner was very helpful and informative. There was lots to do in the surrounding area. Friendly locals and good pubs nearby. Coming from the South East and living in a rather pretty spot ourselves, we really appreciated how unpopulated the area was. If your customers want to escape, this is the place. We had the best holiday and were genuinely sad to leave. We would definitely like to return someday.

- Jen, September 2014
Amanda August 2014

“So much thought and care had been put into making this special cottage comfortable and well equipped.”

The location is absolutely stunning and it was lovely to spend a week here. The access road was very good and not a problem at all. The owners were very kind and welcoming, but not at all intrusive. This all ensured we had a lovely memorable holiday.

- Amanda, August 2014
Janette May 2014

“The house appears to be isolated and is blissfully quiet but less than a 15 minutes drive to Sedburgh and Kirby Stephen.”

Excellent walking from the house and dog friendly.

- Janette, May 2014
Liz April 2014

“Owners were friendly, it was nice to know there was someone to contact if we needed to.”

Loved the isolation and natural beauty of the place with walks right from the door. A perfect cottage for us and the dogs, it was total relaxation. Will book to come again.

- Liz, April 2014
Jane April 2014

“The cottage is in a superb location, quiet, peaceful and very scenic; yet it is within easy distance of excellent pubs, restaurants, shops, walks and drives.”

Villages and valleys, interesting places to visit and even the motorway, for easy arrival and departure. The cottage itself is full of character and history, and the owners could not be more helpful.

- Jane, April 2014
Emily December 2013

“We loved everything about the property!”

The owners are so helpful and kind. They even met us in the dark to take us up to the property. The house is amazing! So cosy and has a very homely feel to it. The kitchen has literally everything you may need and more, the lounge has a tv with lots of dvds to watch and games to play. The beds are so comfy, the views stunning and the waking up to the sound of sheep was bliss! We had lots of lovely walks with our 2 dogs and lots of meals around the table that seats 8 people.

- Emily, December 2013
Susan December 2013

“Wray Green must be the best spot ever to get away from it all and have lovely walking from the doorstep and yet be close to the market towns of Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh.”

The house is warm and comfortable yet full of historic charm. It's a real joy to be without a TV.

- Susan, December 2013
Ian October 2013

“The remote position of the property is just what we wanted.”

The very old features of the building and furniture add to the charm of the house. The property and a piece of furniture dates back to mid 17th century. The view of the Fells and Cautley Spout was amazing in the morning sun. I would like to go back in the summer as there is a great spot at the front of the house for BBQ etc. The WiFi was said to be intermittent, but we did not have any trouble with it. Overall, brilliant place, and the photos on the Sykes website do not do the place justice.

- Ian, October 2013
Jon September 2013

“Everything about this place oozed charm!”

The remoteness, the views, the old fashioned, original décor, the paintings, even the water tasted wonderful, earthy and sweet! Lovely!

- Jon, September 2013
Tracy September 2013

- Sam, May 2013
Simon March 2013

“Excellent cottage in a beautiful remote location.”

- Hannah, June 2012
Brenda June 2012

“Peaceful and restful, just what we were looking for, and with beautiful scenery from every window.”

- Brenda, June 2012
Clive March 2012

“The 2nd time my group has visited Wray Green within 6 months tells you something!”

We find the location/ isolation wonderful. The Everhot (Aga) has now been mastered and we had a great time again. Would have booked for early November 2012 but someone has beaten me to the date.

- Clive, March 2012
Victoria December 2011

“We loved the remoteness, the open fire and how it was extremely well equipped in both activities and cooking equipment.”

- Victoria, December 2011
Clive November 2011

“We enjoyed the remoteness, the views, walks straight out from the property and it was great to talk of an evening instead of being sat in front of the TV.”

Great time, will go again!

- Clive, November 2011
Sam October 2011

“Everything was perfect!”

- Christine, September 2011

The opportunity to stay in such a fabulous property. The layout of the farmhouse which really lent itself to a large group enjoying themselves together.

- Donna, May 2011
Ruth May 2011

“A wonderful "away from it all" holiday.”

The owners were exceptionally good. The views were wonderful, ambience superb and the cottage was out of this world.

- Ruth, May 2011
David February 2011

“Wray Green was everything we could imagine and more, from the antique furniture, the beams and the coal fire to the lovely views, breath taking walks and peace and quiet, everything about it was perfect.”

The cottage had everything you could possibly want or need. Having been used to self catering holidays in the past, we expected to need a lot of basic household items but everything you could imagine was catered for. It was like living in someone else's house for a week! Plenty of leaflets of what to do and where to go as well as chatting to the owners when we got there. They gave us a few more ideas as well as the warmest of welcomes! If you want a week away, that's peaceful and relaxed then we would strongly recommend this cottage!

- David, February 2011
Lynn December 2010

“I've been holidaying in cottages all my life and must say this is one of the best yet.”

Absolutely fantastic cottage with beautiful antique furniture and in a superb location to enjoy walks in both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. No mobile phone or TV for a week was utter bliss too!

Suzanne September 2010

“Property beautifully situated and excellently equipped.”

Suits those wanting peace and rest. Kirkby Stephen nearby has good shopping centre. Mulberry Cafe in Kirkby Stephen serves good meals and snacks. Brough Castle tea room and farm shop are very good too.

- Suzanne, September 2010
Graham July 2010

“The owners were really helpful.”

Wray Green is very well equipped with books, DVD's. local info and more chairs than needed! Drying facilities were excellent - essential this wet summer.

- Graham, July 2010
Gillian June 2010

“Excellent 17th Century farmhouse.”

Altogether a fantastic location for a holiday. M6 nearby for Lake District and Morecambe. Close to Settle to Carlisle Railway. Fabulous walks nearby. Away from it all - without television and mobile phone reception!

Extra touches, such as hot water bottles on our beds and a call from the cottage owners added to the overall experience.

- Jeanette, February 2010
Niall February 2010

“Everything.”

Simply amazed at the cottage - the location - the surroundings and the weather! We had sun and snow all over 3 days! Can't wait to come back again later in the year.

It's in a great location with amazing views.

Emma July 2009

“The location was absolutely perfect for getting away from it all.”

The sound of silence was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those few occasions where the details do not do justice to the property. We'd certainly return there in the future.

- Emma, July 2009
Jonathan June 2009

“We loved it all!”

. The house is full of warmth and character and everything in it suits it perfectly. The Howgill Fells make for the most beautiful landscape in the country and the house sits right out amongst them, far from any other habitation. The views from the garden and windows are incomparable.

- Jonathan, June 2009
