“Excellent location for walkers and comfortable accommodation.”

Some nice places to eat nearby The downsides are the Wi-Fi, very erratic and none existent mostly. The bath is just about big enough to wash a small child, certainly not adult size.

“Beech House was a beautiful house in a great location.”

The house was warm, welcoming and was everything described in the write up. The owners were very friendly and left welcoming flowers, milk,tea and a bottle of wine. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return. Our golden retriever was welcomed and she loved the underfloor heating too!!! Thank you for a lovely stay even though the weather could have been better.

“The cottage was spotlessly clean and in a perfect location.”

We had the best holiday and never wanted to leave! Will be back as soon as we can.

- Miss Boulton, March 2019
“A very friendly reception from the owner who was not intrusive, although resident in the same building.”

The accommodation was well equipped, visually beautiful and very warm on a cold, damp wet weekend. The showers were brilliant - hot and strong and the enclosed patio was home from home for the dog, who also loved the underfloor heating. Easy access to Skipton and the local dog-friendly pubs completed a very enjoyable visit. 'We will be back'

- Mrs Miles, March 2019
“We spent a lovely week at Beech House over February half term.”

The kitchen is stunning, bathrooms & bedrooms were really nice too, although mirrors in the bathrooms would be handy. The lounge was on the snug side but it suited us as a family of 4. Seems a shame that the wood burner is in the kitchen/diner rather than the lounge but that’s quite clear from the description. The owner was very friendly & helpful & the house was really well equipped, even a selection of plastic bowls & cups for the kids. Good selection of dvds that I only got round to investigating as we packed! Loads of books & a few games & cds. Nice to have your own private parking space & the garden area is fine for eating and drinking outside. The house was very warm when we put the heating on. I would recommend switching off the towel rails overnight if you don’t like being too warm in bed. The location was so convenient with lovely views from the first floor and pubs, a large co-op & a chippy within about a 10 minute walk (there’s a decent sized car park at the co-op too). We liked the White Swan pub so much we didn’t visit the other(s?) in Gargrave. Good, reasonably priced food. Buses to Skipton stop on the main road at the bottom of Eshton Rd. We caught the bus there & trained it to Leeds. We visited Malham which was good for a walk. Recommend Thornton Hall Country Park for visitors with young children (our 5 & 6 year olds loved it). Skipton is worth a visit. Lovely town with plenty of shops & a market. Grassington really nice too. Loads of other stuff nearby that we didn’t have time to fit in. We had a fantastic week and would definitely return.

“Lovely place clean and tidy and most of very warm.”

- Mr Woodman, January 2019
“Beautifully finished, clean house.”

Owners live only a few houses away. Owners very friendly and kind. Would happily recommend this house to other people.

- Mr Alston, January 2019
“The hosts were amazing.”

The property was first class all the way. Everything we needed was there and of superior quality.

- Mrs Preston, October 2018
“5star!!!”

! Absolutely fabulous accommodation in a beautiful part of the country. Extremely well appointed luxurious property. Convenient to village and two excellent dog friendly pubs serving super food. The hosts were brilliant but not at all intrusive although the property was attached to their home. So much to see and do in area we shall have to return.

“Our second visit superb house great location lovely owners.”

- Mr Bugler, July 2018
“This is a truly superbly appointed property, the finish and furnishings cannot be faulted.”

However, it’s pushing the boundaries to describe it as a “wing” of a house when it’s an end terrace. We were very disappointed that the patio area had so little privacy. The fence was latticed and we had view of the people next door and all their daily washing. It also prevented us from dining outside because our conversation would be overheard so freedom of speech was limited. The riding establishment on the left side has two dogs which drove us inside one afternoon with their incessant barking. If you’re going to travel out everyday, none of the above is a problem but we were hoping for a lazy and relaxed holiday, sitting in the sun drinking, dining and chatting. The complete lack of privacy in the patio area prevented this, a disappointment.

- Mrs Godfrey, May 2018
“If we could design a property to suit our family holiday needs (4 adults and Pepper the dog) then it would look just like Beech House.”

We fit so well into the accommodation that is provided, that we have broken a promise, made to ourselves over many holidaying years, to never stay in the same place twice and have visited this property located perfectly for our Dales excursions a second time. It is always comforting to know that when we return to Beech House from the days exursions that we can recover quickly and feel 'at home' in this well appointed property. The owners exhibit a wonderful attention to detail and strike the right balance between being available if needed but not interfering with our holiday even though they were just next door and they left us to ourselves to relax in what is a first class, stylish,well equipped and well designed property for any large family. It will come as no surprise to hear that we will be looking at visiting again in the future.

- Mr Allcock, May 2018
“We were very pleased with the quality of the accommodation, it's location and valve for money.”

The owners of the property were attached but never made this appear so. They would have happily answered any questions if we had them.

- Mrs Lee, November 2017
“Cottage was brilliantly located, very quiet and had everything you could wish for.”

Only suggestion would be mirrors in the bathrooms above the sinks. A real home from home!

- Mrs Ryan, August 2017
“Fantastic cottage; spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

Great hosts. Beautiful countryside with a small village close by which was ideal. Had a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend.

About the location

GARGRAVE

Skipton 4 miles; Settle 12 miles.

A pretty village on the banks of the River Aire, around 7 miles from Malham, with its spectacular limestone cove and scar. In the village you will find a selection of places to eat including a fantastic Indian restaurant, along with a small selection of pubs, cafes and shops. Traversed by the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, cycle route 68 and the Pennine Way, Gargrave is a fantastic base for exploring this part of Yorkshire. Four miles away is the ancient market town of Skipton — “The Gateway to the Dales” — with its historic castle and celebrated high street. On the border of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is an ideal location for walking, cycling and touring.
