• "We had a lovely stay at Harber Scar, the cottage did not disappoint."

  We particularly appreciated that the multi fuel burner was already on when we arrived, on what turned out to be a cold clear and frosty night. It was like getting a big hug when we walked in. The cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable and we felt quite at home. The kitchen was well equipped, fuel for the fire was provided and the owner left homemade flapjacks and wine which was very thoughtful. We were there for a ling weekend but could have happily stayed longer.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you had a lovely stay at Harber Scar and appreciated the greeting from the multi fuel stove on arrival. Real fires do take some beating once the weather takes a turn for winter. We note you would have happily stayed longer than the weekend break you had booked and hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

• "Absolutely lovely cottage."

  Very warm and welcoming treats. The owner has thought of everything you would need including towels n bowls n treats for the dog. The garden is a perfect size for a dog to play in. We were so comfortable and felt at home. TV, books etc all very good. Perfectly formed for a base for walking.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you found the cottage a perfectly formed base for your walking break. We hope to welcome you back to Harber Scar in the future. Property Owner

• "We spent just 4 nights here during a wet and cold week at the end of October."

  The cottage was lovely, warm, spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. The most delicious flapjacks were on the kitchen worktop on our arrival and a bottle of fresh milk and Prosecco in the fridge. (Thank you) The Woodburner was most welcome also after our wet days in the beautiful dales. A very lovely break, in a beautiful old cottage surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Thank you.

• "We had a great stay at Harber Scar."

  The cottage is cosy, beds were really comfortable and we enjoyed our breakfast outside in the shared garden at the back. We were welcomed with lovely flapjacks and some biscuits for the dogs which were very much appreciated. Harber Scar is in the perfect location for doing 1,2 or all 3 of the Yorkshire Peaks. It is also just a short walk to the train station. Settle is a short drive away for a selection of shops. There are 2 pubs in the village which we didn't make it to, as the comfy sofas and log burner were much more appealing after our long walk! We would definitely recommend.

• "Really cosy & traditional cottage which we all enjoyed - a brilliant location for accessing the Lakes and the Dales, and the train station for the Settle-Carlisle railway line is only a 10 minute walk from the cottage - thoroughly recommended."

  Loved the fire in the lounge at night, very cosy and relaxing. Very comfy beds too! A shame about the grumpy pub owner at The Crown who was very unwelcoming- the sooner a new owner is found, the better, as it’s wonderful to have a pub so close! It would be such an asset to the cottage. We had to sit out in the dark and cold with our drinks (as he wouldn’t allow us in with a dog). Thank you for a very pleasant stay! xx

  Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased to hear you found the cottage cosy and relaxing and a brilliant location for accessing the Dales and Lakes. I'm sorry to hear you found the pub unwelcoming because as you say it is ideally located for the cottage. We hope to welcome you back to Harber Scar in the future. Property Owner

  Even though weather mixed still able to sit outside when dry and listen/watch the brook flowing past. We had a problem with the kettle stopping working, a message to the owner and a new kettle brought within the hour. Loved the flapjacks. Hopefully we will be back to explore more of the area.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you found the cottage very comfy and had everything you needed. We do seem to be having a spell of very mixed weather at the moment but glad you managed to make the best of it. We hope to welcome you back to Harber Scar to explore more of the Dales in the future.

  It is so warm, homey and inviting. The hosts had thought of everything. It really was a home from home. The treats on arrival were lovely. The location is beautiful and an ideal base for walking. We are already planning our next trip there.

• "Great cottage, very well equipped."

  The cottage is very dog friendly and was ideal for taking my two Setters out early morning and last thing. I was a bit wary of the pub’s proximity and also tales of landlords unfriendliness but this proved unwarranted. Yes the front of the pub was busy over the weekend but only for a couple of hours as walkers came back from the hills for a pint or two. The pub landlord I found pleasant and parking my car was not an issue, but with all the great walks surrounding the cottage it stayed parked all week in front of the cottage . How refreshing to arrive at a cottage that didn’t make me feel I had to spend my last day cleaning it from top to bottom, after reading the note that said “It’s your holiday, but there are cleaning things available if you want them” I hope I left it in a reasonable condition! Thank you to Helen for her friendly help .

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Harber Scar and found it ideally placed for taking the dogs out directly from the door first thing in the morning and at night, the cottage is situated on the Pennine Way, with the footpath passing through the car park. We hope to welcome you back to the cottage in the future. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay and used Harber Scar as a base to explore the Dales."

  We arrived to find home made flapjacks, a bottle of bubbles in the fridge and some milk which was really thoughtful. The cottage was well equipped for us to self cater. The pub opposite had a nice vibe but was very quiet in the evenings so not intrusive at all. We enjoyed swimming in the river just round the corner over the bridge. We are very likely to come back again next year!!

  Thank you for your feedback. We were pleased to hear you had a lovely stay and found Harber Scar a good base to explore the Dales. I know when we chatted you had found a few local spots that were ideal for wild swimming. We hope to welcome you all back to Horton next year. Property Owner

• "The cottage is lovely and comfortable."

  Extra touches on arrival were much appreciated. Our dogs enjoyed the garden. On the path to Pen-y-Ghent so can be busy at times, and pub landlord opposite is very precious about parking spaces on land between pub and cottage. Must adhere therefore to one car only rule, despite existence of large car park behind pub. Otherwise a lovely location and ideal for exploring this lovely area.

  There was a warm welcome and the place was really clean. Only communicated with the owner by telephone but she was very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

• "Very pleased with the property."

  I booked it on the last minute and the price was very competitive. Its in a great location with lovely views from the cottage. The cottage is full of character and spotlessly clean. All the equipment is of a good standard, with a decent kitchen. The lounge has a multi fuel burner which adds to the character. The owner left us some goodies for our arrival, which was very thoughtful and greatly appreciated. I found the owner pleasant, although we had no problems, so contact was minimal. The location is great for touring the area, with Settle only a 10 minute drive. The town has all the necessary shops to get your supplies. There's nothing negative I can say about this property, and would strongly recommend it.

• "This is a lovely cottage, really warm and cosy."

  Everything was very clean and tidy. The owner was very helpful and friendly and even makes meals for you if you ask her, they are delicious. The cottage is in a great location if you like walking, and if not the railway station is only five minutes away and there are lots of nice places to visit like Settle. We were lucky enough to have good weather in December but it would be good even in bad weather as it is a great place to hole up and read. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

  The welcome gifts provided were an added bonus and most appreciated. Our stay was very comfortable and given the amazing weather we were able to enjoy the great walking opportunities close by and further away - Pen y Ghent was one of the highlights - and then come back to relax in the lovely garden by the river. The garden was ideal for our dog who enjoyed lazing in it too! We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

• "Gorgeous cottage in the centre of a bustling Dales village."

  Lots of lovely walks straight from the doorstep. Parking a little tricky as none allocated to cottage, so with 2 very small children was a little awkward at times. But landlord allowed us to park in car park behind pub when there was none available. Just a slight point to note for people with children and dogs, the garden gate in the back garden has no latch or fixings, so swings freely straight onto the road/bridge although it looks closed! Otherwise a really lovely, well kitted out cottage.

  My son had to park a good way away but the space next to ours was not used until late monday. The landlord was very short with another walker only asking if the pub was open. We therefore didn't give him any of our custom. Otherwise we had a great week.

• "Fabulous cottage in the heart of the Dales."

  The cottage has so much character and was perfect for our family of four with two children. It was a lovely surprise when we arrived and there was a bottle of prosecco, freshly made biscuits and the fire was lit! The cottage was immaculate, beds very comfy and all of the amenities were exactly what we needed for the week. The location of the cottage is fantastic for exploring the area and there were some days we didn't even use the car as there are so many walks to enjoy from the cottage. Lovely little garden with a stream at the bottom too. I would definitely recommend Harber Scar if you are looking for a traditional cottage in the heart of the Dales.

  Great location for walking & visiting the lovely Dales towns. The Crown Hotel, opposite Harber Scar, doesn't allow dogs in the bar which rules it out of evening meals (leaving dogs in cottage alone not permitted) but the Golden Lion, 5 minutes walk down the road, welcomed them (beware of Saturday evenings though- bar will be packed with walkers & their kit until @8pm!!). I think the only downside were the huge quarry lorries that thunder past the cottage from @5.45am but they were noisiest in the two front(?) bedrooms.
