"The Ramblers Retreat is a lovely little cottage, perfect for our needs with twin boys and a dog, my son loved the upside down cottage which was very cleverly thought out."
The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were spacious and airy, the modern shower room was easy to use, it would have been great to have a shelf in there though. Upstairs the living area was comfortable, it was a lovely touch with the dog blankets, keeping well loved pooches off the furniture is very hard, especially when you leave them to go to bed, the blankets solved this issue, which I think was great. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs.
We also had the bonus of a welcome gift of some bubbly with a card, but also, milk, dog treats and everything you needed to make a cuppa. The property also has lots of maps and guides on where to go, aswell as, lots of books, games and toys for younger visitors.
Outside is a cute courtyard with a hot tub which is kept at 38 at all times. It's just a perfect little cottage.
The only way it could be improved is by having a shelf in the bathroom and maybe some notepads for planning adventures. Thank you so much for a perfect week.

"Well equipped, nicely decorated cottage."
The owners have included all the items you need to make it a home from home. Really lovely kitchen with everything you need. There was tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk provided as well as a bottle of prosecco. There were also a few basic condiments and cooking oils which was a welcome find....as a lot of places we've stayed don't provide these.
Tons of useful information on the local area and walks and a big array of toys, board games and DVDs were also provided.
The cottage was well-presented tidy and clean in the main areas that mattered. There was quite a lot of dust and cobwebs however that hadn't been addressed.
From a comfort perspective this is a personal preference of course, most visitors commented on comfy beds but for me they were too soft and meant a lot of difficulty sleeping. But it's hard to please everyone on mattress preference. All the garden chairs have fixed-width arms, which means for a wider person these are uncomfortable and pinch. I found the sofa and armchair in the living space really comfy but only enough room for 3 people to sit so if 4 people are staying at the cottage then one person misses out.
A non-slip mat for the shower would be beneficial and some shelf space in the bathroom would also be a welcome addition.
We really enjoyed the hot tub, this is a great addition and really fantastic to relax in after a long hike.
Easy to park one car outside the front and space for other cars in the Mill car park next door.
A lovely place from which to explore the Dales.

Some aspects were excellent, well-equipped kitchen, lovely hot tub however, shower not great, poor quality bedding especially duvet, uncomfortable sofa. Access difficult, uneven / steep steps down into garden and up to door of cottage.
We enjoyed but won't return.
Thanks for your feed back. We are having are have a new Bathroom fitted in January. Electric showers aren't always the best. The bedding is all good quality. The duvet is a silent night one and only a year old. You are the only person who mentioned bedding. Everybody else says how nice the beds are. The steps outside are shown in the picture on sykes website of the cottage to let people know. We have never had a complaint about the settee before either. We had already ordered a new settee 3 months ago as the cottage is having a mini re vamp in January we are having the old settee at our house as we dont find it uncomfortable .Sorry you won't be staying again. Maybe you will find somewhere else to your liking in the future. Take care and have a nice Xmas and newyear

The cottage is well equipped with everything thought of, although the outside seating is a little tired. The hot tub is great and we used it everyday. Parking is just outside at the front. Behind the cottage is the mill shop and cafe, but this does not affect the cottage as you look over the top of the mill from the cottage.
For those with mobility issues access would be difficult as you have to go down steps, across the yard and then up more steps to the front door. Some of the steps are uneven.

"We had a great week at the Ramblers Retreat."
A week didn’t feel long enough to explore all of the gorgeous scenery.
We spent our days walking and evenings recouperating in the hot tub.
So many wonderful walks within settle and so many others in the surrounding villages.
I downloaded outdoor active, that was super helpful for finding new routes and places to walk wherever we were, you can track your own route or follow someone else’s and pick length/difficulty etc.
The cottage and facilities were exactly what you need all of the home comforts, good bed, cutlery/crockery and ability to cook a proper meal, if you’re so inclined. As the cottage is bedrooms downstairs and living/kitchen upstairs and stairs down into the cottage courtyard. It can feel like another mountain to climb after a long walk. The hot tub definitely helps rejuvenate you after a day of walking, utter bliss especially when we found the setting that focussed on legs!!
We loved the talbot arms and the naked man bakery/cafe If you want lovely fresh bread/cakes get there early to avoid disappointment!
A lovely cottage, in a lovely village. We will definitely be back - if you’ll have us!

Booths a quality supermarket. 2 mins up and out of Settle you are in spectacular landscapes. 7 miles to drive to beautiful Malham, you cant beat The Lister Arms with open fire and great food. Waterfall walks from Malaham fantastic. Also did the Settle-Carlisle beautiful train journey again , as the scenery is stunning!
