“The cottage was lovely - very comfortable, well-equipped, and cosy.”

The owner called soon after our arrival to check everything was OK and whether we needed anything (and to make sure that the fire was still lit, after her setting it going at lunchtime!). The setting was very quiet, despite being opposite the pub, and the whole weekend was very relaxing.

“Cottage was just right and was like being at home.”

Lots of small extras that made a difference such as cakes and milk, dog towel, coal etc. Made things so much easier than other places we have stayed. The fire was already let when we arrived. Very welcoming. Didn’t need time to sort things out and settle in we just walked in the door, made a drink and sat in front of the fire.

“This was our fourth time at Harber Scar Horton in Riblesdale, Yorkshire Dales.”

The cottage as all ways was clean, warm and welcoming with the lovley touch of a bottle of milk and five flap jacks for the humans plus a towel with two dog biscuits for a treat for our two dogs and to clean their muddy paws. We love this cottage and the area and it has never let us down. We will be visiting again next May, it is well worth visiting and I am sure you will go many times as we do

“The cottage was a lovely place to come back to after a day of sightseeing, comfortable, clean, and very well equipped.”

the personal touch of a pint of milk so we could have a cup of tea on arrival to go with the homemade flapjacks that were left for us was a very thoughtful touch and much appreciated. will definitely come back

“A stunning property in a stunning location, it might be worth mentioning that ...”

A stunning property in a stunning location, it might be worth mentioning that the cottage backs onto a pub car park which can get a little noisy at the weekend, also there is a lot of the local quarry’s lorries pass through the village other than that, a really wonderful break

- Mrs Amies, August 2018
“The location was excellent.”

We were able to use the cottage as our base and drove out to the neighbouring towns/villages. Beautiful cottage and beautiful surroundings. The cottage had all the facilities that one would expect. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were welcomed with fruit cakes on the table. There was milk in the fridge . It was really thoughtful of the landlady to make sure we had milk for our tea when we arrived. Will definitely recommend Harber Scar to friends and relatives.

“Well equipped cottage.”

This is a well equipped and comfortable cottage ideally located for walking and exploring the Dales. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook a meal and includes a good sized fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of storage space and a lovely view from the back windows. Like all cottages of this vintage with small windows and thick walls it can get a bit chilly in the evening if the weather is not brilliant but the wood burning stove soon sorted that out. You also have radiators but apparently they are not as romantic. Or so I was told. Do not be put off by the close proximity of the pub if you are worried about noise. Lots of walkers sat at tables in the car park during the day but you can not hear them in the cottage and by 10pm ish the pub is in darkness. We had two meals in the pub and thoroughly enjoyed them. They also sell Theakstons Old Peculiar which makes any pub great in my world. It takes approximately 40 minutes to Skipton and Malham Tarn etc and 30 minutes the other way to Hawes. If you are a rail enthusiast the Settle to Carlisle line is nearby. Enthusiast or not, If the sight of a steam engine pulling a train across the Ribblehead Viaduct doesn't move you then you are probably dead. If I had to find a negative it is the noise of the quarry trucks going past but we didn't find it overly intrusive and its only during the day. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will probably be returning.

“Miss”

As one of Kayla's party of 5, i can say this cottage is great. It is very quaint but very warm and we loved the wood burner. There was cake left for us which was delicious. The location was excellent. The local pub was only steps away and although they didnt allow dogs in, they took our meal order and delivered it to the cottage. Very good service. Would definately book again. Anne.

“Lovely well equipped dog friendly cottage!”

Just arrived home after spending three nights at this lovely cottage in Horten in Ribblesdale. I would highly recommend it especially to those taking their dogs to the dales. Everything you could want in a home from home! We loved it!

“Chilled to Perfection”

Had a lovely 3 days here , very homely spacious cottage in a superb location. The milk and cookies mentioned in other reviews and made up log fire were all waiting for us on arrival and are a lovely touch.We managed the full 3 days of walking with a rewarding drink in the pub opposite , I made it 19.5 steps from front door to front door ,There was absolutely no noise from the pub and couple running it are very friendly. The garden is great as well and in warm weather your own private beer garden

“Great place, super facilities”

This is a wonderful three bedroom cottage with a large lounge, garden and great kitchen. The lounge has a wood burning stove in it. The cottage is exactly 12 steps from a great pub and has amble parking. The owner had milk in the fridge, cookies and had laid a fire in the stove. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom and shower are great. The garden is lovely and at the end is a nice creek. There are facilities for BBQ and lawn chairs. The only fault I have is there is no Wifi and the mobile service is limited in the village. The pub also does not have Wifi which I find very strange in this day and age. I really do think the owner must install Wifi as it is so necessary in this day and age to plan you outings. The village is nice with two pubs both with excellent food. There is a super old church and the location is central to exploring the entire area.

“Beautiful homely family cottage”

First class. We stayed here on a last minute break for 3 days. We had some lovely walks here. Cottage is situated just a; few minutes walk from the railway station and directly opposite the local pub which serves excellent food. Enjoyed the log burner fire on cooler nights - logs and coal were supplied for us - also had homemade raspberry muffins left for us on arrival - bliss. Ideal base for walking the dales. Would love to stay here again.

“very relaxing welcoming and cosy home from home cottage.”

Brilliant base for a relaxing break. Home baked muffins and milk from the owners was a welcome treat and handy because we forgot to buy milk!. Neighbours friendly and welcoming. Only 15 steps to the pub! Logs and coal aplenty and cottage extremely cosy when fire going. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will be back again im sure. Thanks for a wonderful weekend

“Comfortable, warm and homely holiday cottage.”

The cottage is very comfortable, warm and all the conveniences you need. Dog friendly. Home from home. In a lovely position 1 minute from an excellent pub with friendly, dog friendly people. The cottage owners are very accommodating and welcoming of guests. The tea, coffee, sugar and milk and homemade biscuits was most welcome. We arrived by train, the cottage 10 minutes walk from train and the bus service is excellent. Lots of good walking from the door.

“Idyll cottage in the Dales.”

Very warm and cosy cottage, everything we could wish for.Well located - just 10 steps from door to door of pub! Pet friendly safe enclosed garden.

“Home from home”

Wonderful cottage which was very clean and comfortable. Pleasant little surprise on arrival - chocolate in any form is always a winner. Harber Scar is situated in an ideal location for exploring the Dales, walking holidays or, if you are really enthusiastic, climbing the Three Peaks. Cottage is 5 minute walk from the Settle - Carlisle railway which is well worth the trip even on a diesel train. The views are magnificent. Pub opposite the cottage is friendly and serves good food and ale. Although it is dog friendly they do not allow dogs anywhere inside the pub when they are serving food. Pub at other end of village is dog friendly all day except in restaurant.

“Lovely cozy cottage”

Really lovely cottage in a very nice village. Situated opposite a pub and near to the train station for easy access. Ideal for people that like walking as it is right on the Penine Way. Perfect base for doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks too. Cottage was very good value for money and we hope to return in the future.

The property

A delightful, 300-year old, stone-built terraced cottage, in the very heart of the pretty Dales village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale, home of the famous Three Peaks, 6 miles from Settle.

A delightful Three Peaks cottage, set across the road from one of the village's two traditional pubs, the cottage retains much original character, with wonderful beamed ceilings, a feature stone fireplace with warming multi fuel stove, and three cosy bedrooms, creating a very special atmosphere which exudes olde worlde charm.

Outside this Three Peaks cottage, the spacious lawned garden is ideal for dining alfresco, and boasts a babbling brook and lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway line, which passes over the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct, is just a 5 minute walk from this Three Peaks cottage, whilst the market towns of Settle and Skipton are nearby.

Various walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep on the Pennine Way and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, while the more energetic visitor can 'clock in' at the village's Pen-y-Ghent cafe and take on the challenge of the Three Peaks walk!

A wonderful Three Peaks cottage for a holiday in the Dales.
