"A lovely quaint, comfortable and quiet cottage within a 5 minute walk into town."
We found everything we needed (including a hair dryer, clothes maiden and Netflix when the weather was poor one day!). The owners had left milk, a tea loaf and dog treats and called to check we were ok. Living in a bungalow, we are not used to stairs, but found these were not a problem, especially with the 3 hanging ropes in place! Clever !
What a pleasure to read the lovely comments in your feedback Kathryn . Ever so glad you enjoyed your stay.
With our kind regards to you both

"Only put met expectations not exceeded as this was our second visit so knew exactly what to expect."
The cottage retains all its old world charms but is equipped to give modern living requirements. As stated this was our second visit, say no more.
Two constructive comments ( not criticisms ) . Parking for a large car is a little tight but possible and the garden could do with a little TLC.
Over all a very enjoyable stay, if you enjoy old timbers and old world charm definitely try this cottage.

"Firstly I cannot fault the cottage itself, it was lovely and had all the equipment etc you could need."
However, the listing fails to mention that the 'dirt' road the cottage is on is very busy with both vehicular traffic and also footfall. There is a constant stream of cars going past the property as well as people and the cottage is very close to the path so this is happening right outside the window which I felt really disrupted your privacy, I did not feel private at all. To make matters worse there is currently a construction site a matter of feet away from the cottage which meant there were things such as tractors transporting building materials like roof supports backwards and forwards again right outside the cottage window, I have pictures of this. This work started at around 7.30 in the morning so I was woken early each day and found it impossible to relax and enjoy the peaceful and stress free holiday I had been so desperately looking forward to due to the continuous noise and the cars which I felt were speeding by the cottage. Unfortunately due to all of these factors I felt I had to leave the cottage early and cut my holiday short and I found it so stressful and noisy, not at all the peaceful retreat I was looking forward to. I have booked quite a few holidays through Sykes and I have never had an issue like this before and never felt the need to cut my holiday short. I would really appreciate a response on this feedback, kind regards, Miss Karen Walker

"Fabulous cottage with a large enclosed garden, perfect for enjoying a barbecue or glass of wine."
Welcome hamper much appreciated contained milk, eggs, bread and biscuits and also dog treats for our lab. I was a little worried about reviews stating off road parking is quite small but we managed with a large estate car. I was also worried about the low beams as my husband is quite tall, and yes he did forget to duck occasionally but such a pretty period cottage. Living room a little dark but so cosy with a log burner and inglenook lighting. The rest of the cottage bright and airy and well equipped and the bed was so comfortable. I liked the small gated front courtyard as we could leave the front door open all the time and the dog couldn't get out. He loved the stone floors to keep him cool. Location excellent, in middle of High Bentham which is well served with pubs, cafes and shops and also for local walks from the doorstep. Perfect base for exploring the Dales. Would definitely recommend.

"This was our 2nd stay at Beehive Cottage so we knew that it is charming, circa 200yrs old and very comfortable."
The addition of a gated fence around the door makes it safer for dogs. We had good weather which was a bonus so the garden came into use! - typical cottage garden with gravel paths, alliums, lovely peonies and all the usual perennials.
High Bentham has 3 pubs with restaurants, 2 minimarkets (Spar and Co-op) various independent shops and eateries plus butchers. So no need to go hungry. There's plenty of area info and reading matter in the cottage The location is handy for visiting other places of interest but lovely to return to at the end of the day. The Horse and Farrier is 5mins from the door and serves tasty food too!

The two things I think all visitors should be aware of are the entrance and parking space is very tight so if you have a large car it could be a problem, also the stairs in the cottage have no bannister rail so if you are the slightest bit unsteady on your feet this cottage is maybe not for you.
