Bill's Place

Bills place is situated in a great position for exploring the Yorkshire dales.

It was very clean everything you needed and very comfortable especially the beds. It was our 2nd time at Bills place and if we come again would definately want to be staying here. Would definately recommend it.Owner was very informative of what’s going on and helpful when husband had to ring as he had changed the heating.

Bills Place is a beautiful stone cottage very close to Bainbridge village green.

It is a comfortable and well appointed cottage, ideally situated in an attractive village in Wensleydale. The owner, Mrs Dobson was very helpful. The welcome goodies were much appreciated. Eric Woolfenden,Warwickshire.

Everything made it a top class holiday.

, all facilities very comfortable and very clean. We look forward to our return,

Bill's Place is one of the nicest holiday cottages we've stayed in.

It is tastefully decorated and all the furnishings and equipment are of the highest quality. There was everything we needed. The weather during our stay was rather indifferent, so it was lovely to return at the end of the day to the warmth and comfort of Bill's Place. A real haven of peace. Bainbridge is a very attractive village with an excellent butcher. The Wensleydale Bakery sells fresh bread, savouries and cakes and light meals. The village shop in Sycamore Hall sells everyday essentials, and nearby Askrig, has several restaurants and pubs.

Bill's place is a beautiful, clean and comfortable cottage in a lovely village in the heart of the Yorkshire dales.

The owners have obviously gone to a lot of effort to make the accommodation feel welcoming and homely. We enjoyed our week enormously and definitely want to return. Fantastic walks from the property and in nearby areas meant that we didn't need to do much driving to enjoy many picturesque walks. There are a lot of waterfalls in he area which were worth walking to. Hardraw force and the West Burton waterfall are both lovely.Olives cafe, close to the cottage does wonderful breakfasts. We enjoyed evening meals at The Green Dragon in Hardraw and The White Hart in Hawes. Even the weather was perfect.

Another very comfortable stay in Bills Place, could not fault it, super stay.

Bills Place is a lovely cottage in a lovely village with everything you need for a perfect holiday.

The cottage was very comfortable especially the beds it was like home from home. It had everything you needed. We would definately return to Bills Place and recommend it to family and friends.

We stayed at Bill's Place on Saturday 16th - Friday 22nd August and we had a wonderful time!

We have stayed before when our little boy was a baby, but he is 5 now and boy, did he love Yorkshire! The cottage was spotless, as always, and now we are having to look into getting a new bed and bedding at home because my husband said it was possibly one of the nicest beds he has slept in! The cottage is very well equipped, with all of the kitchen gadgets etc you would need, we needed a pizza tray one night but improvised. My little boy loved the cat, although it did try to come in a fair few times but this wasn't an issue. We loved the fire (yes in August!) we were lucky enough to have good weather all week, but the evenings were cold enough for us to light it and enjoy some s'mores! My only complaints would be the sofa, it's not overly comfortable to sit on in the evening, a little corner sofa might be more comfortable but comfort is a very individual thing, plus space is limited! And the other thing was the curtains in the main bedroom. The lounge and single bedroom had blackout curtains, but the main bedroom didn't. It didn't effect us a great deal, but would have been nice to have had the room a little darker early in the morning. Apart from that, it was lovely, the cottage was perfect for us 3 and we would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat. Tempted to sell up and move up to Yorkshire - it's very close to our hearts! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cottage is very comfortable, well maintained and In a beautiful village location.

Plenty of scenic walks on the door step, as well as tea rooms, country pubs/ restaurants to dine at. We always return from our stay feeling revitalised after enjoying so much time outdoors and experiencing the good food on offer in the area.

A charming and comfortable cottage.

Albeit tiny accommodation especially downstairs, we found it quite cramped to be honest. The cottage was fully equipped offering everything needed for a luxurious stay. We used only two dining chairs as there were only 2 of us, so the armchair was adding to the cramped feeling and redundant to be honest. The second bedroom was unused and in our honest opinion, the bathroom could be extended and a bath provided which after a full day's walking would enable a relaxing bath to refresh the aching muscles, but please be aware this is just a personal opinion offered.

This is a beautiful, thoughtfully equipped cottage in an excellent location.

Lots of previous visitors have rebooked and we will certainly book it again.

Ein gemütlicher Ort zum Wohlfühlen.

Es gibt viel zu sehen in der Nähe. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen!. A cozy place to feel good. There's a lot to see nearby. The owners are very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed it

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a lovely village.

Always a comfortable and relaxing stay at Bill's Place.

Excellent standard of maintenance from year to year.

Top class accommodation, very happy there relaxing everything very clean and tidy cannot wait to come back.

Cottage provided everything we needed for comfortable stay.

Well positioned with walks on the door step, beautiful scenery. Good choice of tearooms, cafes and pubs in the area if you choose to dine out. Perfect break

The property is very well presented with all the items needed for a comfortable stay.

When I the owner she was very welcoming and helpful. If I am in the area again I would very much try to stay here. The location is ideal as it is central to the all areas to visit or walk.

Lovely cottage, clean and well maintained in a quiet rural village, very peaceful and relaxing.

We look forward to staying again in the near future. Many thanks

Bill's Place is a lovely comfortable cosy cottage with excellent facilities and has always been well maintained each year we visit.

Perfect ten years ago and perfect today

Totally happy with the comfort, cleanliness and all the facilities provided.

Thank you very much and plan to return soon.

Excellent cottage in Bainbridge

We had a great holiday at Bill's Place.

The cottage was lovely and the weather hot and sunny. The only thing we could have done with was the use of a sun parasol as some afternoons it was to hot to sit outside without some shade. Thankyou to our hosts for providing a spotlessly clean and very well equiped cottage. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bill's Place to family and friends.

The cottage is lovely, comfortable and has everything you could wish for.

The kitchen is very well equipped and the cottage had an extremely high level of cleanliness. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the booklet gave all the information needed for the cottage and surrounding area. The location itself was perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Lovely old cottage in a quiet village.

Excellent facilities, comfy beds, great shower. Handy tea room/ cafe nearby and fish and chip van near the green on a Tuesday night. Great are to explore from.

First impression on entering Bills place was outstanding decor and furniture, clearly time and money well spent.

Excellent location for village walks and drives to explore stunning country side. Every thing it should be.

We have now stayed at Bill's Place three years running and always enjoy our visit to this very comfortable well furnished cottage!

Beautiful cottage of a very high standard.

Lovely and warm and so comfortable. We will return to lovely Bainbridge and Bill’s place. Thanks to the housekeeper who keeps it so clean, to Mrs Dobson the owner who was so helpful and 2 lovely ladies who live in the village who came to our rescue.

Cottage to a very high standard in all aspects allowing a wonderful week in perfect surroundings.

Love staying at Bill’s Place.

The property has everything we look for, wonderfully clean, well equipped, pet free and in a beautiful area.

A lovely, well equipped, clean cottage , was better than we could have expected .

Good communication with owner . Will definitely return .

Once again, our stay at "Bill's Place" was very enjoyable The property has been presented in a very clean and comfortable state.

New windows, carpets and fully decorated throughout since our visit last year. Everything within is of good quality from the teaspoons to everything else in the fitted kitchen, the lounge and bedroom. There is a small but charming garden in a sunny position at the front with a seat to relax and watch the world go by, all add to make a stay there just as it should be. Very pleased that it is non-smoking and that animals are not allowed.

Excellent in all respects.

Beautiful village in a beautiful part of North Yorkshire.

This has been our second stay at Bill’s Place and we rate it highly.

It’s comfortable, in a great position to enjoy all that the Dales has to offer. I recommend this cottage.

Excellent cottage, including kitchen equipment.

Good on every way. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending it.

An ideal property for two people.

Very clean and well equipped. it is a great area of the Dales with lots of walks, pubs and within reach of interesting days out.

This was our second stay at Bill's Place.

An excellent cottage, very comfortable, clean and with all you need for an enjoyable holiday. We will definately book again!

During these difficult times it was good to arrive at the cottage and feel at ease .

The cleanliness and overall comfort made for a very relaxing stay in this beautiful village. The cottage provided for all our needs and would not hesitate to return . Thank you owner and staff well done take care….

Bill's place was immaculately spotless and incredibly cosy.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the water pressure fantastic.(Two important things for us on holiday) Wifi signal was amazing! Bainbridge itself is ideally situated for some beautiful walks. Due to the fuel situation we didn't venture more than a few miles in the car (although there is actually petrol and diesel in the village and there were no queues!) The local pub and the cafe were welcoming. We will return!

It's always a delight to stay at Bill's Place - just a shame thanks to covid restrictions we couldn't gush about it as usual in the visitor's book.

Bainbridge is a great base for the Dales and beyond - we visited York and Hebden Bridge without too much hassle - and Hawes is a good and near spot for shopping. And the best Eccles cakes ever! Bill's is such a lovely spot, so cosy and comfy and everything where and as it should be.

Returned to this cottage many times as it offers perfection both in terms of accommodation and situation.

Fantastic cottage, idyllic surroundings resulting in a perfect holiday destination for feeling relaxed and revitalised. Would highly recommend this beautiful well cared for cottage.

Very well equipped and comfortable cottage.

In a lovely village with lots of lovely walks around. We would definitely stay here again.

Bill's Place is warm and welcoming, a haven of comfort and cleanliness, with the highest standard interiors and appliances, and an extremely well-equipped kitchen.

What a lovely place to spend my first post-lockdown getaway. Thankyou Stephanie and Jan for being so helpful and accommodating. I would love to come back.

A lovely cottage in a fabulous location.

Everything in the cottage was spot on. I would definitely book a return visit in the future

Immaculate holiday home.

The owners obviously take pride in looking after this house. Even in its stripped back, for covid cleaning state it feels warm and homely with everything you need. Lots of walking opportunities from the doorstep and as a first holiday after a Winter of lockdown everything felt like such a treat. Thank you we had a wonderful time.

We so enjoyed our holiday at Bill's Place in the lovely village of Bainbridge.

The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and cosy stay. Such a good base for walking trips we look forward to a return visit.

Bill's Place is a great, cosy cottage to stay in, perhaps the best we have had.

The owner contacted us to make sure we had all the details we needed prior to arrival. The standard of decor, furnishings and appliances is very high, modern and good as new but still appropriate to a country cottage, which really made a difference during a wet half-term. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had been before so knew what to expect.

The cottage is warm and comfortable. It is tastefully decorated, with good quality furniture, fittings and linen. The kitchen is well equipped, especially in these difficult times. The owner is friendly and extremely helpful. Would recommend highly. Bainbridge is an attractive village, within reach of all amenities, and set in one of the most beautiful areas of Britain.

We have just returned from the Yorkshire Dales after spending a week at Bill's Place in Bainbridge.

Everything was exactly as advertised. Great location for walking and exploring the area. The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard. It was spotlessly clean and lovely and warm. Ideal for two people. We would recommend walking to Askrigg and buying frozen home made meals from the BAKE-WELL cafe in the Market Place. Would also recommend a visit to Tennants Auctioneers in Leyburn with excellent parking, cafe and shop. Viewings are usually the day before the Auctions - very interesting! Many thanks to David and Stephanie. H & D Lancashire

We have stayed in Sykes cottages on numerous occasions and each one seems to better the previous one and this one is no exception.

We found Bills Place comfortable and cosy with everything we needed. It was a pity not to have a visitors book or maps to peruse but we understood that was the case before arriving so came well equipped. This is the second year we have visited Wensleydale and we thoroughly enjoyed all the walks and wonderful scenery, especially the waterfalls. We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Dobson for providing tea, coffee milk and biscuits + notes on local restaurants so that we could prebook our evening meals. All in all a wonderful holiday.

The owner of the cottage called a week or so before our stay and how lovely she was.

Very informative, chatty and warming and when we got to the cottage, everything was exactly as she’d advised. It was spotless, possibly one of the cleanest cottages I’ve stayed in! We had a baby with us too (who crawls and is in to everything) so we were confident it was clean enough for him. I’ve already recommended the cottage to my parents, it would be perfect for them too. Thank you.

A very comfortable cottage, which exceeded our expectations, especially with the Covid limitations.

Well equipped, good sized rooms, comfortable sofa and beds. Excellent for the two of us and would be very happy to go back again. The cottage is well located, and, being well set back from the main road, is very quiet. The village has a good butchers shop, village shop and tea shop so essentials are available if you don't want to go far. The local pub has mixed reviews, but we found it to be fine, and with friendly staff. We did walks directly from the cottage, used the bus service to go into Hawes and then walked back via footpaths across the hills. Lots of other lovely places to drive to, in stunning scenery. A very welcome break from a very good base

Lovely clean well equipped cottage in a quiet dales village.

The cottage is well located for exploring both Wensleydale and Swaledale. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and had done a good job of making the cottage welcoming.

Have returned to this cottage a few times due to the high standard of presentation, cleanliness and comfort provided.

The surrounding area has fantastic scenic walks and a good choice of restaurants, pubs and tea rooms. Have always returned home feeling refreshed and revived from our stay.

This is a clean, warm and comfortable little cottage close to many easy and challenging walks.

Well equipped for eating in, but many nearby pubs for a pie and a pint. Fantastic holiday!

What a delightful, cosy cottage.

It was absolutely perfect for what we required. Very well equipped and decorated throughout. Bainbridge is a lovely village which we have visited many times. Bill’s place is perfectly placed for visiting the local market towns and for doing plenty of walking. We’ll definitely look to book this Cottage again.

Bill's Place was excellent in every respect, not least the little extras provided by the owners.

It is one of the best cottages we have stayed in and we shall certainly return to it in the future.

A beautiful, spotless and very cosy little cottage.

Great shower (love the underfloor heating) and very comfortable beds. The extras provided (chocolate, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits) were much appreciated. Kitchen very attractive and well equipped. Very sorry we had to leave early due to illness in the family. Didn't see one negative comment in the guest book - everyone else (and many had been 3, 4 or 5 times) had found it as warm and welcoming as we did. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property in a lovely part of the Dales.

Can't fault Bill's Place - lovely owners, brilliant location, and the cottage is as clean and well-appointed and equipped as you'd expect in a hotel.

It's our second visit, and I'm certain it won't be our last. Bainbridge is an excellent base for visiting the better known areas of the dales - Ribblehead Viaduct, Ingleton Waterfalls etc - but also less-visited spots like Upper Wharfdale, and almost remote places like Muker. Even for a Bronte fan like me, Howarth is an easy day trip. Also, the bakers' in Hawes sells the best shortbread on the planet.

We love the village and the area, so the cottage is a well-equipped base which enables us to enjoy the Dales.

A lovely old cottage that has been modernised to a very high standard.

Set in a quintessential English village complete with stocks.

Great cottage in an excellent location for touring the beautiful Dales.

Home from home, everything you could need plus many thoughtful extras. Would certainly recommend this cottage .

A very lovely cottage in a beautiful area.

Have stayed there in “Bills Place” about 5/6 times and is great base for the the Yorkshire Dale and the owners and carers for the cottage are very friendly and helpful, extremely nice people. I would recommend it to anyone. Many Thanks Alan and Jo

It was the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in !

Very well appointed, and tastefully decorated and well thought out in terms of equipment/function.. Perhaps a radio/CD player could be added. The new TV is tremendous !

Perfect cottage.

Well presented,well equipped, home from home.Idyllic village setting, beautiful scenic walks on door step. Plenty of pubs/tea rooms in area serving delicious local produce

Would highly recommend and we hope to return one day.

Excellent location to see all of the Dales.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bill's cottage in Bainbridge.

This was a lovely, clean, well equipped and thought out cottage in a wonderful setting which was well located for exploring this part of the northern Yorkshire Dales. Stephanie, the owner, was very helpful in our initial 'access' conversation about the cottage and in providing local information. She also checked with us whilst we were there that we were happy and enjoying our stay with our needs being met. We initially struggled with the technology of a new tv set in the property but that was quickly resolved for us when we raised it. Lovely TV although we did not need to use many of the extra features available on it. Perhaps more of an ' idiots guide' could be left for future foolproofing the use of this TV. Don't like Sykes new website with the cottage reference search down the bottom and the ' hard sell' messages (one booked two minutes ago etc) when you are looking at a cottage online.Also popups adverst when looking at other sites reminding us of properties we had booked.

We were extremely satisfied with the service received, the holiday accommodation was spot on and would definitely recommend you to our friends and family.

We have stayed at this cottage many times and have always been very pleased and satisfied.

It is a lovely place and ideal location for visiting the Yorkshire Dales. The owners keep it spotless and provide very good facilities.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Holiday and look forward to a return visit.

So fully equipped -it was like being back at home.

Unlike at home however ,we always had a view of the nearby hills with cows walking on the top.

Well equipped, excellent location.

clean, spacious and comfortable. Ideal spot for exploring the Dales.
