6 Riverdale

Great place to stay, very comfortable and a great base to explore this amazing and beautiful area.

Excusal.

We spent 12 nights here. The kitchen and living space was well Laid out. Beds were very comfortable and great to have an en-suite bathroom. Would definitely recommend this place wholeheartedly.

We had a wonderful stay lovely, warm and comfortable Thank you

Excellent cottage home from home will definitely return next year local pub very friendly

We had a lovely stay at 6 Riverdale.

First impressions, we felt it looked a bit tired but it had everything we needed especially the kitchen equipment!!! Very well equipped. We had a comfortable week there. The village and the surrounding area is second to none. Strongly recommend the tea shop with home made goodies!!

We absolutely loved 6 Riverdale.

Unfortunately we were only there for 2 nights visiting family for a special occasion and wished we had longer! The cottage is stunning and the surroundings are unreal. We would 100% return! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Bainbridge is the village I lived in until my marriage and we enjoyed our stay at Riverdale .

The property is very quiet but sadly has no outlook onto the village. Being behind a wall it lacks light and the lighting within could be improved to make it more cheery. We found the leather settee was lacking in comfort but otherwise all was fine. There was a welcome bottle of wine and tea coffee etc available for our arrival, the children appreciated the biscuits. Please be aware that the bedrooms are on the lower floor so the building being old the floors are very creeky .

Riverdale is a very comfortable house and ideal for families or friends sharing.

We enjoyed the open plan living and dining areas and having an outside space. It's in a great location for exploring the dales.

Overall the cottage is very comfortable,well equipped & presentable, in a great location for exploring the area We noticed a couple of things inside and out which would be easily resolved The front of the boiler is loose and comes off if knocked A knife block would be much safer than having them in a drawer full of other utensils The garden although a nice area to use is quite dangerous for dogs due to the heighth and lack of boundary, we used fold up chairs to stop ours walking along It The parking space is fine but needs the foliage cutting back so the sign is visible Although I have highlighted some concerns we would happily recommend and return ourselves to the cottage

This was a home from home.

The kitchen had everything we needed including complementary wine on arrival. The heating was on when we arrived so it was warm and cosy on such a wintry day. Wood supplied for at least one fire in the log burning stove. Beds were comfortable and showers were hot and powerful -always a bonus! Great that you've thought of dog towels and bowls (not that we needed to use them as we'd brought our own). We would definitely return here again.

Loved this property, well situated for exploring.

Spacious and well equipped. Did have trouble with the hot water, didn't seem to work independently of the heating. The TV was a nightmare to use and a make we had never heard of. My husband who is very good with this technology struggled to get a channel and when we did we got commentary which he couldn't get rid of. Also had a night where we got picture but no sound and only seemed to have two channels available.

We loved staying at 6 Riverdale in Bainbridge.

The cottage is very spacious, comfortable, well equipped and made an excellent base for exploring Wensleydale. The only negatives were that the bed in main bedroom had a spongy mattress (which i think needs replacing) and that we could only get two channels working on the TV - but apart from that is was 5 star!

Lovely place to stay, very quiet and peaceful.

A well equipped kitchen, with the added bonus of a slow cooker which is great when you plan to go on a big walk /out for the day, to return home to the smell of a lovely meal ready for you. Perhaps some clearer instructions with regards to recycling rubbish, no separate bins appeared to be present at the property.

Perfect location with everything you need for a relaxing holiday, away fromthe busy areas in te area.

Good selection of reading for all ages and rainy day activities if needed. We were very lucky and didn't require these. Would certainly recommend this property.

Great property , good location and very helpful information in the cottage and prior to the arrival for walks, places to eat etc There was no smell in the cottage and we did as advised and left the shower room fan on in both bathrooms which was fine.

Lovely little cottage

The freezer was dirty and the scissors had hard caked on food on them.

The tin opener was next to useless Apart from the above the property really suited us, we had a smashing time and we really appreciated how quickly the light in the kitchen was sorted Thank you

Could you tell me when Sykes last visited this property for yous to claim it is a 4 star property.

Out of coutesy i emailed the landlord before I replied to your request for a review. My contact number is This is the Email i have sent to the landlord 5 days ago without response. Arriving at the cottage we came into a lovely spacious and comfortable first floor . The small lobby had a dog bowl and towels that was very pleasing for our dog Poppy. The kitchen was spotless with all the updated mod cons anyone could wish for. A bottle of red wine from the owners was a lovely touch. A nice dining table to eat from was also amust. Entering the spacious spottless sitting room found a very comfortable area where you could sit and relax with TV and internet connection which was excellent. However it goes very quickly downhill when going downstairs to the Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Your senses were blasted by lots of plug in airfreshners, reed defusers and random smellies and a plethara of disposable moisture de humiders. Unfortunitly this could not come close to masking the smell of damp. Undetered we ventured downstairs to find nice beds and bedrooms and well appointed spotless bathrooms and shower. Together with lovely clean fresh towels. Trying not to let the smell of damp spoil things we went for a walk and a bite to eat which was more than pleasant. The next morning found the sheets feeling dampish and the overwheming stench of damp. After 2 days our clothes in the wardrobes and the drawers smelt damp and mouldy thus we brought our clothes upstairs and put them all on the kitchen table. We tried another night in bed but the smell of damp became too overwhelming. We managed another night on the sofa but we had enough on the Tuesday morning and we returned home instead of coming home on the Friday which we had paid for.

This was a last minute booking and we were delighted with the cottage located in a lovely village.

It had a nice comfortable feel and the facilities were excellent as was the housekeeping. It was great to have so much information about the area which is so beautiful. We will be back.

Very disappointed.

Upstairs OK. Downstairs bedrooms etc drainy smell constantly. Unable to use drawers due to fusty damp smell. Air fresheners plugged in totally overpowering. Sykes should be checking these properties as the owner referred to earlier complaints in some paperwork. Also tv sound really poor.

Lovely cottage, party of six adults and one dog but felt spacious and well equipped.

Lots of helpful information from owner about local walks and points of interest. Local pub very friendly and welcoming. What more can you ask for

Very impressed.

Over nearly 20 years we’ve stayed In many holiday cottages. This has to be the best one in just about all respects and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a visit to the Dales. A lot of effort was made by the owner to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We will definitely return for a week in the near future

Lovely week in a lovely cottage.

Well appointed, comfortable and spacious. Everything worked, only one very very minor issue - a lid for the steamer would save some serious improvisation

Lovely cottage in an ideal area to use as a base for The Dales.

A true home from home would recommend to anyone

The cottage itself was very nice and comfortable and the in good order.

The general information and recommendations left by the owner were very good and helpful and we found the cottage generally well maintained and comfortable. The local pub was welcoming and pleasant. However, although we enjoyed our stay in the property we were unable to use the television as the sound quality on the set was so bad we could not use it. We tried adjustment but were unable to rectify the problem. After spending a day walking and exploring the the Dales it was disappointing not to be able to relax and watch some TV in the evenings. The TV set is in need of replacement or over hall.

The double bedroom suffered from damp, and the family bathroom had a terrible foisty smell (rotting vegetation) especially when the extractor fan had been operational for some time.

The garden could do with weeding, as we would have liked to sit at the bench on a couple of occasions, but the garden was quite overgrown. Other than the above, a wonderful house in a fabulous location.

Very clean and well equipped cottage, perfectly situated to explore upper Wensleydale and surrounding areas.
