“Well located lovely cottage, we were made to feel very welcome.”

The cottage is comfy and homely. If I had to change anything it would be a better internet connevtion. Other than that it's a great place to get away.

“It was really lovely to stay at Bracken Beck.”

Myself and my family loved it and would stay again. The owners have made a real effort to make sure there is everything you could possibly need, right down to all cooking equipment in the kitchen. The cottage is cosy, with lovely open stone walls. The fact red squirrels came into the garden every day was our favourite thing. The cottage is remote and not on a mains water supply so the filtered spring water which comes out of the taps and shower is quite brown. It is safe to drink but the owners provided several bottles of bought water in case we found it off putting. Let’s just say it would not put me off staying again, I quite like the idea that there are still places in the uk which are as remote as that! We just bought bottled water and it was fine. While we stayed the washing machine broke and it is a total credit to the owner and very reassuring how quickly he replaced it. It felt he could not do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. I’d recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a trip away surrounded by the beautiful Dales scenery, we had many drives around the local area and saw the loveliest countryside we have ever seen in the uk.

“Bracken Beck is a fantastic cottage which is set out in a very practical way.”

Having the ability to park to the front and then get wet children's and wet clothes in straight into the stone floor was a bonus. Having the upside down layout is lovely and cosy and the wood burning stove made it even better. The welcome gift was personalised with a lovely welcome card and treats for the children. We will definitely come back again and our children were sad to leave, and so we the adults

“A Truly amazing place”

I have loved staying at bracken beck, the owners have done such a fantastic job of this conversion, it’s lay out is perfect, it has adequate space, the furniture and bedding all give it a lovely feel, it’s definitely the best place I’ve stayed in a long time, it has a fully equipped kitchen which is fab for home cooked food as some places lack basic essentials, not this place, it has a full size fridge and full size freezer plus a washing machine, a lovely log fire that came well stocked with complementary wood and kindle with the option to buy more which is stocked on the premises, there are plenty of local walks to go on, so much wildlife in the back garden, it’s just stunning, the only thing I couldn’t get used to, being a town family we are so used to having clear water, the water here is discoloured, it was’t suitable for my partner as he suffers from ibs and it did give him a dodgy stomach, mine was fine though and they do supply bottled water as well so don’t let this put you off, the down stairs radiator does click a lot but you do get used to it, i would highly recommend this beautiful place so much so that I will definitely be booking another trip here, les and liz thank you for the welcome gifts, I’m now hooked on wensleydale cheese and will be sad to leave this place, also thanks to bracken beck my partner has quit smoking, what a great start to 2020
Mr Fairbank January 2020

“Perfect from start to finish, the property is fully equipped for a great comfortable stay, property is 20 minutes drive from the nearest towns so very quiet with lots of walks.”

Would highly recommend this place if you are wanting a relaxing quiet holiday
Mrs Sneller October 2019

“Absolutely love this cottage, my children wanted to move in!”

!. We were blessed with great weather and the cottage was in a good spot for exploring the area. After a day of adventuring the children would say can we go 'home' now they were so relaxed here. Chilly days and a lovely log fire to come back and snuggle in front of. And lots of yummy cheese from the Wensleydale creamery just down the road. Bracken beck created some lovely memories for my family. Thank you.

“Extremely comfortable and warm cottage in a great setting for wildlife and walking.”

Thankyou for sharing your holiday home.
Dr Gee September 2019

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Bracken Beck.”

The location was ideal - close to the Dales and the Lake District and only just over a mile from Garsdale station on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. Both remote and yet accessible. The house was very well equipped, and warm. A great place to stay.
Mrs Capper August 2019

“The cottage is lovely liz and les have a beautiful holiday cottage and the welcome pack is lovely.”

The wildlife in the garden is also great to sit and watch while having breakfast. This is our second year at the cottage.
Mrs Butterworth August 2019

“It was a lovely cottage, comfortable and a great location.”

The owner also left us a lovely welcoming assortment of wine, tea and cheese. We were self catering pretty much every night and the cottage was advertised as having a well equipped kitchen. So we were astonished to discover only a 'mini' fridge in the kitchen. The compartment was too small for all our food, before we even thought of putting in the odd beer! We were forced to keep a lot in a bag outside on the stone, and this was only possible as the temperature was cooler than normal for this time of year. A very frustrating experience. Though there was more than adequate freezer space ?? So a great place but not suitable for cooks and self caterers. Kind regards Helen Butterworth

Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the property. I am a little surprised to hear your comments about fridge as it is a standard under counter fridge mini freezer space. This is not something that has ever been brought to our attention before. It would be nice to have you back in future. Kind regards, Sykes owner relations
Miss Suffolk August 2019

“Me and four of my friends booked this holiday last minute, it was our first holiday without parents as we are all 18-20 years old.”

As soon as we stepped foot in Bracken Beck we felt at home. It was beautiful and very clean, and we were left a lovely welcome pack, so many things to do and see and we throughly enjoyed our time. Will be back again!
Mr Westhead June 2019

Mrs Campbell May 2019

“Cottage in perfect condition.”

Very clean and fresh. Had everything and more that you needed. Kitchen had extras like tea, coffee, bottled water, sugar, cupboard items and much more. Lovely log burner with more wood ready and waiting. Just leave monies in honesty box. View outside fantastic. Lots of wildlife comes very close to cottage. Loved the special touch from owners of leaving a few goodies for our arrival. Our second visit and just as good again.
Mr Woodland April 2019

“We had a fantastic stay at Bracken Beck.”

A stairgate and travel cot were waiting for us and the welcome pack was a wonderful surprise. The cottage is gorgeous, especially it’s ‘upside down’ layout and in a great location for exploring the Dales and the Lakes. We really enjoyed watching birds, sheep and red squirrels whilst eating breakfast.
Mrs Dixon April 2019

“Lovely very comfortable cottage located in a beautiful setting.”

Easy access to Dales and Lakes. Super welcome pack and very thoughtful hosts. We will return.
Mr Colson October 2018

Miss Theobald September 2018

“Beautiful little cottage, perfect location for touring round the Yorkshire dales.”

Spent a week here and were certainly not ready to come home, the fire in the evenings made the cottage really cosy, and the welcoming gift was a lovely touch.

About the location

GARSDALE

Sedbergh 7 miles; Hawes 9 miles.

Garsdale is a small hamlet of stone cottages and farmhouses, nestled together with a village hall, church and chapel, resting at the foot of the dale alongside the meandering river Clough between Sedbergh and Hawes. Sheep graze on either side of the dale in this tranquil valley which is perfectly situated for days out in the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District. The nearest market towns are Sedbergh, 7 miles to the west, and Hawes, 9 miles to the east, both of which retain their ancient character and traditions and are well situated for shops, banks and traditional pubs. With wonderful walks through the dale from the doorstep, and the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park surrounding you, this is an idyllic and peaceful setting for your holiday.
