“Really beautiful quiet cottage in a ...”

Really beautiful quiet cottage in a perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage is well equipped and comfortably furnished and Janine the owner could not be more helpful. Cannot recommend more highly and am looking forward to staying here again.

“Beautiful cottage in a peaceful village”

Contacted the owner Janine directly via the Greta Cottage website, great price, simple booking process and easy to follow directions/key instructions. Able to park directly opposite the cottage with no issues. Arrived to a lovely bottle of wine, tea, coffee, sugar and a jug of milk. The cottage is just perfect, clean with all the things you need (even down to torches). We particularly loved the music system which had numerous digital radio stations. There is an under counter fridge and separate freezer (three good size drawers) we ordered an online delivery from Sainsburys which arrived on the evening of our arrival. The washing machine was great for washing mucky stuff, there is a washing line available and also radiator airers. Used the oven to make a full roast dinner, only thing was although there is a grill there didn’t appear to be a grill pan. It didn’t stop us having a fry up though. We had good weather for the first few days and sat out the front listening to the river across the road with a glass in hand very relaxing. There is a modern bathroom with a lovely hot powerful shower and full bath. The is an iron and a hairdryer provided. The beds in both rooms are very comfortable the large bed looks kingsize and the single bed is a full size single bed. The is plenty of hanging and storage space. The multistove is great and uses coal and logs, catches quickly and gets very cosy. The is no cash machine in the village however some of the pubs and coop do cash back. They are rebuilding the petrol station so make sure you fill up either at Kirkby Lonsdale or Settle. The pubs in the centre of the village are all basic muddy boot and dog pubs don’t expect anything fancy. The Masons Arms on the main road has recently been refurbished and is very nice indeed, food and beer ok. Fish and chips from the village chippy are good however a little pricy at £6.85 for cod and chips. We got out and about did the Ingleton Waterfall Trail (back to front), visited Hawes, Aysgarth Falls, Skipton, Settle and Bowness on Windermere. Ingleton is a really great location with lots of great walks on the doorstep. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending staying at Greta Cottage.

“The cottage was lovely, bed very ...”

The cottage was lovely, bed very comfortable, did not want to get out of it, the cottage is warm and cosy, the shower and bath were excellent, fab village, plenty of shops, pubs, and places to eat. Our trips to the White cave was amazing, and the waterfall trails, however, please note you will be charged for these visits, The only slight downfall if I have to say, is that the cottage is under a via duct, hence you do not get much sun shine as it is in the shade, this did not spoil anything for us, as we went for the walking and a fab relaxed week had. pub only 3 mins away, and walked up to the gardens in the village to sit and watch the world go by. There is a lovely river across the road and it was nice to hear the trickle of the water if you had the windows opened.

Lovely little cottage, extremely clean and comfortable. Although not a problem to us, parking could be an issue as very limited.

We had a fantastic stay at greta cottage. Very comfortable and warm with eveything we needed. Perfect location close to all the amenities and walks. Would highly recommended it and our little dog also enjoyed it. Thankyou

“Wow - what a great find!”

What a brilliant little cottage. Charming, cosy and spotlessly clean. The owner, Janine, made a real effort to welcome us: jug of milk in the fridge, bottle of wine on the side and a firelighter for the log burner. Parking was no problem, and the village centre was a only 3 or 4 minutes' walk away (Co-Op, pizza place, Fish & Chips, tea-room, outdoor shop etc.). Really couldn't ask for more. We've stayed in countless self catering lets over the years and this ranks in the top 3. Thank you Janine, it made for a great holiday!

“The Cottage was beautiful, fully ...”

The Cottage was beautiful, fully equipped, in a perfect location, with the viaduct above and river opposite the cottage, and was a great location for The Lakes and Yorkshire Dales etc. We visited many places. We are lovers of steam, so went to visit some heritage railways. We went for a ride on the Emsby and Bolton Abbey Railway and North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Goathland, Two brilliant trips. The steam gondola on Coniston Water, a lovely trip and so beautiful. Had a look too, at the Little House at Ambleside. Skipton for the canals, if you like boat trips, we did two. I loved the old traditional canal boat. Haworth is a must, the village is very steep, but well worth it. While there, go to see The Cabinet of Curiosities, excellent!. Fantastic shop. The Bronte Parsonage, with chickens running about with their chicks, in the churchyard. Many other sights to see, in surrounding areas, including Ribblehead Viaduct, which has 24 arches, a perfect place for walkers. Kirkstone Pass, near Ambleside and the Lakes. its the highest pass, open to traffic. Very beautiful scenery and very high with the inn, at the top. Thorton le Dale near Pickering is one of the most prettiest villages and is well worth a look at. Plus as, there are many other places we visited, were. All in all the most perfect holiday.

“Ingleton is hilly, OK once up in ...”

Ingleton is hilly, OK once up in village shop area. Cottage very good but a little cold in the evening. I guess if the log burner is going it's warmer. The three pubs in direct area all serve good pub grub.

- Mr Wells, July 2017
“Hidden little gem!”

Such a wonderful cottage, everthing you could need for a weeks comfortable stay. Very modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Idealy located for all amenities. Walking distance to numerous pubs, shops and cafe's. Well placed for the three peaks and countless other walks too! Definitely recommend if you want a fulfilling countryside holiday.

“The simplicity of booking, ...”

The simplicity of booking, receiving instructions & directions was a good start to our holiday. The cottage was better than we expected, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable & very welcoming. Little touches like the bottle of wine on arrival, the instruction/guide to the cottage & surroundings file was a great help. One to one communication with the person who looked after the cottage was very reassuring. The location was perfect, the rear patio area was a nice bonus & the overall feel of the cottage & village was one of relaxed calm & peacefulness. Needless to say the surrounding countryside was superb for the long walks we did, but would also be suitable for easier, gentle, scenic strolls.

“Christmas in the dales”

Just spent a week in Greta cottage. It is located perfectly. Next to all the local amenities but also on a quiet street over looking the river. The cottage itself has everything you need and is decorated to a good standard. There is no wifi and no phone reception. This is not necessarily bad if you want a week away from it all but makes it difficult contacting family. All in all a perfect cottage for a couple and is dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.

“A great little cottage and we loved ...”

A great little cottage and we loved Ingleton. The owner was particularly friendly, and the cottage was really equipped with things like washing up liquid, dog poo-bags and towels, coal for the fire and quite a few food items such as tea bags, cooking oil, salt and pepper - which I am sure owners are not obliged to do, but make the stay that little bit special. The only slight negative about the location was it was a steep climb to the village, which my husband could not cope with, so we had to use the car more than we would have normally.
