  • "Very comfortable property that had been well thought out, some very nice extras (washing machine and dishwasher) and well equipped kitchen."

    Very friendly owners who were keen to be sure everything was OK. The flood defence ramp on the car park is not the greatest (scraping the bottom of the car on the way in and out) the owner did allow us to park in a second parking area. Shame that the details didn't mention that the property was part of a guest house offering B&B rooms and the outside areas were shared and not private

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your detailed review. We're really pleased to hear you found the property comfortable and well thought out, and that you appreciated the extras like the washing machine, dishwasher, and well-equipped kitchen. It was a pleasure having you stay, and we’re glad our team made you feel welcome and supported during your visit. We do appreciate your feedback regarding the flood defence ramp — it’s a necessary part of protecting the property, but we understand it can be tricky for lower vehicles. We're glad the alternative parking option was helpful. Regarding the shared outdoor areas and the guest house setup, we’re sorry this wasn’t clearer in the listing. We’ll review the property description to make sure it's more transparent going forward — your feedback here is really valuable. Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

    Owners very friendly and helpful. Brilliant location for walking and cycling. Did not use the car at all and walked to Malham (via Pennine Way) and Skipton (via Pennine Way and Leeds/Liverpool canal), as well as cycling around the lovely area. Highly recommended!

    The generous welcome pack was greatly appreciated and the hosts Keith & Zoe greeted us warmly. We enjoyed our stay - a must see and do.

    Thank you for your review. We are sorry you felt the location was not to your satisfaction. The cottage is only 8 miles from Skipton, 4.6 miles from Malham and 12 miles from Grassington in a really quiet restful location. We hope you visit the Dales again soon. Property Owner

  • "We were very happy with the cottage and the facilities in it."

    The cottage is situated in a very pleasant and scenic part of the area. There was only a slight problem, we kept sliding off the sofa while watching the TV, but overall a great accommodation and a great place to stay.

    Thank you for your review. We are sorry the real leather sofa was not to your satisfaction, due to too much polishing!!. The cottage is equipped with a comfortable chair in the lounge plus plenty of cushions on the sofa for you to make yourselves comfortable. Also the bedroom does have a television . Hope you visit the Dales again. Property Owner
