Oak Cottage

Lovely village and the Bluebell inn served delicious food and very friendly staff.

Great area for dog walking.

We were surprised to find the cottage was on the market but it was well equipped and clean.

The beds were very comfortable and we slept well though we had to remove numerous furry bits out of the way. However the seating in the sitting room and dining room were less so. The tv was outdated as were the dvd’s also the washing machine was out of action. The garden was beautiful but not easily accessible. We knew it was shared and the dog would need to be secured but overall we didn’t find the place dog friendly. We did have a lovely holiday and enjoyed being near the pub in kettlewell but the cottage was a bit disappointing.

Unfortunately the washing machine was not working and we were not informed prior to going although the owner did have my number and had communicated with me only the day before we had taken less clothing assuming we could wash things as we had when staying here in previous years

Oak Cottage is in an excellent location in the village.

There are several short walks from the door of the cottage. Close to the Dales Way and within easy reach of several local attractions. The parking at the cottage is very tight for anything other than a small car but the local car park (with free permit supplied), is merely a couple of minutes away. There are 3 pubs serving lunch and evening meals (takeaway service is offered) within a short stroll though the Kings Head has restricted opening hours (this may well differ in high season). Also tea rooms. We were welcomed warmly everywhere. Oak cottage is well equipped with a cosy kitchen. Both bedrooms are sizeable. The lounge is small and cosy.

Charming Dales cottage in the heart of Upper Wharfedale.

Very convenient for walks, characteristic pubs amongst stunning scenery. Lovely back garden is a nice surprise. The owner helpfully provides a car parking pass in the main village car park, as parking on street is a challenge.

A lovely cottage in a marvellous position.

The parking space had cones and large rocks outside the neighbours houses so in reality you could only park a car the size of a fist 500 or mini ad no space to manoeuvre what so ever .

There was a parking permit for the village car park , which was essential as any normal car couldn’t not park outside the cottage which i think should have been made clearer in the details as this is one preference I look for when booking is parking at the property .

We stayed in Oak Cottage in autumn and it was great for cosy evenings and trips out.

It was warm and the garden was a joy in the sunshine.

The cottage is delightful and in a superb position right in the centre of the village.

Very well equipped and extremely comfortable beds. The bed in the larger room is huge! The shared garden is gorgeous but you do have to keep your dogs on leads as was explained. The reality of not being able to keep the door to the garden open in hot weather maybe a drawback for some. Very detailed information email from the owner prior to our stay was really appreciated. The Queen’s Arms is a must!

Very well equipped , clean and convenient.

Excellent enthusiastic owners The shared garden is not suitable for dogs ,however, as the neighbours have a different understanding of shared space to the owners. Practically, the garden should have clear demarcation , eg stones in the lawn , to make it clear what is usable by whom. There is no vehicle access to the property permitted by the neighbours .

Oak Cottage is in the centre of Kettlewell and very convenient to all the amenities in this beautiful village, The cottage is well equipped for all your needs, Parking permit in the local car park which is only 2 minutes walk away was so helpful as parking out side the cottage is very tight if you have a large car.

We would recommend Oak cottage and we would return to this lovely cottage.

Oak Cottage is a fantastic property with many great aspects to it.

The layout is good with enough room for two of us and the dogs. The whole house is clean and well decorated with quirky designs in every room and around every corner. Wherever you look another odd ornament brings a smile to your face. For those planning walks there is a supply of maps and tourist information on the bookshelf. The entrance goes into the modern kitchen diner area with a large table for eating or planning the days events. There is plenty of space to prepare meals and a decent set of equipment to aid the task. This leads to the lounge with a big wood burner for colder nights. Our stay was in May so we did not need it. Upstairs is a good sized main bedroom with plenty of storage and a good view over the rear garden. There is also a smaller front double room. The bathroom was good with a roomy shower and good supply of hot water. The shared garden is part cobbled and part grass and has plenty of room to relax on the small deckchairs we found under the stairs. The parking area to the front is somewhat narrow, but I managed to get our large car in close enough for others to get through. A pass for the local car park - 30 seconds walk away - is provided which is thoughtful. Both nearby pubs were good and friendly, although both are more for tourists rather than a locals, it seemed. One is basic but good, one a touch more upmarket with a more homely feel. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend Oak Cottage as a base for a stay in this area.

An excellent facility with a very well equipped kitchen.

When one of the smoke alarm batteries went the owners came at 10.00 pm to sort it out. You couldn't ask them to do more and they were happy to help.

A lovely holiday cottage in the heart of Kettlwell and Wharfedale.

Comfortable and relaxing place with lots to do in the area.

Stunning spacious cottage, a really comfortable home from home feeling.

Beautifully designed and well-equipped. Location ideal for exploring the Dales & even Cumbria for longer day trips. Village has 3 pubs, a tearoom, ice cream kiosk and coffee shop/deli. Beds super comfortable, garden full of wildlife, warm and cosy even when temperatures outside are very chilly. Delightful stay, thank you.

An exceedingly well equipped kitchen for self-catering.

A very comfortable cottage

The cottage was comfortable, cosy, well equipped and in a lovely location.

Parking outside the cottage plus the car park permit a real bonus especially for the busier seasons. Shared garden is lovely and we managed perfectly well keeping our dogs on leads whilst using it. Local pubs are great for a drink or meal. Everything worked well for us.

Lovely cottage,no issues,just like to stress ,shared garden to dog lovers.

Cottage was lovely.

In a perfect village.

Lovely property, great spot with good walks from the door.

Really comfortable and well equipped, beds fantastically comfortable and the later check out time is great and takes the pressure off the last day. Parking in front the cottage is tight for larger cars but the permit for the national park car park works really well. We would definitely stay again. Lovely village and well placed for getting to other parts of the dales

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and was really well equipped.

Kettlewell is a perfect location and has walks in every direction. There are lots of lovely pubs and cafes in kettlewell and the surrounding villages. The village store has lovely pastries you can cook in the oven for breakfast.

Sofa's need updating, as one at least had started to collapse, however it wouldn't put us off staying again.

Very well equipped house and exactly as described.

It is worth re-emphasising that the garden is a shared space and not suitable for children and dogs to run about as the actual amount that belongs to the cottage is very narrow. Saying that we sat out in the garden and it is lovely. We kept our dog on a lead out there in respect of the other garden owners. Great walks right out of Kettlewell and two pubs serving food. The Kings Head was closed down when we were there. The village shop stocks extremely limited lines and you can't rely on it for supplies. This is a shame as we like to shop locally when we can.

We had a lovely week in Oak cottage.

It has been done up to a very good standard. The kitchen/dining area has everything you need. It was handy having the washing machine after muddy walks. The living room is cosy with a big picture window looking over the beautiful garden and a great log burner, which we used after a very wet walk. We loved the walk-in shower in the bathroom, providing lots of hot water. Both bedrooms have very comfy beds and storage/handing space. The bed in the large back bedroom is huge, and again has a big picture window overlooking the garden. The garden is shared but there is seating you can use. Sadly it was too wet during our stay but I did take our dog for a little wander around on his lead. The village is lovely, with lots of walks available. There are two pubs next to the cottage. At the Racehorses Hotel we took advantage of their take away menu, and both the pizza and Butter Chicken Curry were excellent. We also ate in The Blue Bell Inn and enjoyed the food. Overall we had a lovely stay and would be happy to return.

very comfortable with everything you need for a nice break

This is a lovely comfortable cottage in a good location.

It is really well equipped and the owner was very helpful. Just a few things that would improve the stay: It was freezing cold when we arrived in the early evening because the heating was set to fixed times. It would be really nice to arrive to a warm cottage and it took a bit of time to establish how the heating worked. Although the information claims the property is dog friendly (which the inside certainly is) the garden is shared between 4 cottages with no divisions. One owner was not dog friendly and dogs don’t recognise invisible boundaries. My dog was very good but a more boisterous one might be stressful. The information on your website claims that electricity and fuel are included in the rent. This is not the case and although a small amount was supplied, the owner charged £10 per bag for logs and £3 for kindling. We bought an enormous amount of logs locally as it was very cold so your information is misleading. All in all this is a lovely holiday cottage and my son and I really enjoyed staying there. The owner has made every effort to be helpful and to provide everything needed for a comfortable stay. There are several pubs very close where the food was very good and plentiful.

The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay in this beautiful village.

Owners were very caring. We will return.

Very nice cozy property with all that we needed.

Couldnt be faulted.
