“The owner was great and the holiday home was set up as a home which was great for the family”

- Mr Hinchliff, April 2019
“Very comfortable and well equipped house, perfect location, beautiful scenery, lovely garden area.”

- Mr Holland, April 2019
“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.”

- Mrs Grady, February 2019
“Very pleased that owner replaced all bedding due to feather allergy”

- Mr Clark, October 2018
“"The Homestead" is recently renovated, modern, and well equipped, including kitchen appliances, tools and good cookware (a set of measuring spoons was all we found missing.”

) The cottage is both comfortable and well located. The pub couldn't be closer, but noise wasn't in any way a problem, nor was pub traffic parking obstructive at any time. The views were pleasant and we were able to watch border collies being trained on the pasture uphill behind the cottage. By coincidence we were present on the one weekend of the year when the Brass Band Competition was held. Although traffic on the road was increased and parking was a bit more in demand, we had no problems whatsoever. Our group of 4 enjoyed our week and would return.

“We felt at home in this lovely cottage, It was tastfully decorated and very well-equipped.”

The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, highly recommended!

- Mrs Baets, August 2018
“We stayed at the Homestead Cottage in Hardraw.”

This cottage is 5 Star. It is large and roomy with three lovely bedrooms. There is no shortage of equipment. Everything has been thought of. We have been visiting The Yorkshire Dales for the past 25 years and this is the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

- Mrs Turner, June 2018
“A great cottage in a fantastic location, ideal for travelling around.”

It is equipped with everything you could possibly think of for a holiday.

- Mrs Evans, October 2017
“The cottage was lovely, very comfortable, spacious and with everything we needed, especially for cooking.”

The cot (with bedding) and highchair provided for our 10 month old were very nice, and they had a nice selection of books/games/DVDs to keep us busy when the weather was rubbish! The location is great, and the walk to Hawes over the Pennine Way is nice and easy but very scenic. The photo album of the cottage through the years was interesting to look at too, and nice to see how it has changed over the years. We will definitely be booking again for next year!

- Mrs Oakes, May 2017
“What a gem”

Stayed here for a romantic Valentine's weekend and loved every minute of the time there. Bottle of bubbly left by the owners to welcome us to their wonderful cottage. Open fires in both lounge and dining rooms,very comfortable beds, plenty of hot water and a great hub from which to explore. Extremely well furnished with all home comforts. Hoping to return for a longer stay soon.

- Marilyn C, February 2015
“Perfect location”

A beautiful house in a superb location. Large rooms, all nicely furnished and selflessly clean. The rear paddock leads straight up to Shunner Fell, wonderful. We spent a week there and were fortunate with the weather. House is well equipped and the Rayburn is a joy on a chilly morning. No criticisms at all!

“Great New Year”

My family and I spent the New Year staying in this fabulous cottage. Coal fires, range cookers, fabulous scenery and next door to a pub! We had an excellent time and but for work I would have already booked for this year.
