"We had an amazing weekend, perfect location for both the walkers and the ones that just wanted to relax all weekend!"
Lovely little touches throughout the property and well equipped kitchen, thoughtful welcome hamper with home made brownies and fresh flowers was a lovely gesture. We will definitely be back

"On Friday 22nd of November we all arrived at Cranefield laithe, 4 couples and a two year old."
It was lovely, clean, warm and everything we hoped it would be and more. In spite of having to contend with storm Bert we had the most enjoyable stay. Fabulous facilities, layout and style and it felt like a home from home. The layout was perfect and the on-suite bathrooms were stylishly designed. The bedding and mattresses were also excellent quality. We throughly enjoyed the hot tub despite the freezing temperatures and the log burner was a comforting focal point. The local area is so beautiful and plenty of walks and cosy places to eat . Malham Cove is a must see. The local people were so kind and helpful.This was especially noted when storm Bert meant we couldn’t risk getting back to our (home for the weekend) and a local guy who lives in the very quaint, Bell Busk was on his way home from the Bolton match and helped us to get to a safe point. Where our lovely host Racheal was more than happy to rescue us in her high, large wheeled 4x4 . We managed to get out for a beautiful Sunday roast in the Lister Arms too. So all was well and we continued to have a fabulous time till we left on Monday morning. We will return and we are already recommending to all who will listen.

"A fantastic place to stay."
Everything about the house was great for our large family group with young children. We felt completely at home and Rachael was very quick to respond to our very few queries and requests. Highly recommended.

"We had a wonderful stay at Cranefield Lathe."
The bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms were exceptional and the house was perfect- well equipped and extremely comfortable with beautiful views over the fields. We loved it.
-
"It was beautiful barn conversion home."
Fantastic holiday vacation for adults and children especially as a working farm with the animals coming up to the fence. It was a lovely touch with the hamper and home made brownies.
-
"We couldn’t fault the property or facilities and was ideal for our family celebrations!"
If I had to really look for something maybe a coffee pod machine would be a useful addition but then we are coffee addicts! The property was super clean and comfortable and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. The welcome back was also fully appreciated and enjoyed by us all.
-
"Lovely spacious barn surrounded by fields."
Very comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. A very generous welcome basket of goodies which we really appreciated and enjoyed. A very relaxing stay with sheep and cows for neighbours.
-
"We just love this place."
Nothing to fault. So welcoming. Very high speck throughout. We’ll be back x

"We loved our stay at cranefield laithe, the house was extremely well equipped, decorated to a high standard and very clean!"
The weather was wet for a couple of days but it didn’t stop us exploring and having fun in the hot tub!! The lemon drizzle cake was delicious thank you
-
"Wonderful place to stay for our walking trip."
..................and relaxing in the hot tub after a strenuous day was perfect.
-
"A superb spacious conversion - well equipped and quality furnishings - only minor criticism is that there is no facility to hang clothes in two of the bedrooms ."
Location is off the beaten track with superb views over fields and hills and we enjoyed reading a bit about the family history, and home made brownies in the welcome pack are superb A well deserved 5*
-
"This was 2nd time we have been here ."
There were 7 of us ladies and we had a lovely time in the house . It has everything you need and the hot tub is brilliant. Rachel the owner can't do enough for you . I sent her her a msg asking if she had a hand blender we could use it was there within 5 minutes. We definitely will go again on the future.
-
"Super property, well equipped to a very high standard."
Lovely views over the fields during lambing. Fantastic hot tub, made the holiday during a very wet, cold week.
-
"This is a beautiful home finished to a high standard, with absolutely everything you need for a break away."
This was the third year we have been as a group of four couples. Each bedroom has its own bathroom so all have their own privacy. Plenty of seating for a large group to sit and chat in comfort. Time it right and the fields are full of lambs but whatever the season, to sit and forget yourself staring through the large windows at the view in the morning is most relaxing x Thoroughly recommend and will return ourselves too.
-
"A wonderful cottage and place to stay."
Beautifully presented and furnished. Thanks so much for the lovely holiday experience.

"The barn is wonderful, all the facilities are great, the hosts are very"
-
"Beautiful house well maintained, with a glorious view"
-
"Fantastic property remote enough for privacy but well connected to the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and even a cheeky visit to the Blackpool illuminations."
Super comfortable beds that envelope you like enormous marshmallows and a well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was the icing on the cake!
-
"A1+"
-
"Such a beautiful and well thought out property - a wonderful welcome basket on arrival was a lovely touch."
The hot tub was a huge hit (especially as the owners took care of everything, popping in to look after it so all we had to do was enjoy it!) Family pool tournaments kept us occupied as well as games up at the fabulous kitchen table. Great local walks, amazing local pubs for food (The Lister Arms and Beck Hall were favourites) meant we had the most amazing holiday! Thank you!
-
"A wonderful property in every way."
Four bedrooms all with high quality en-suites isn’t easy to find. The hot tub was always instantly hot and the large basket of logs ready for the super efficient log burner made everything so relaxing. We appreciated the lovely welcome hamper complete with millionaires shortbread which we enjoyed on glorious walks to Malham Cove and the Tarn and the fresh flowers on the table. Rachael was always on hand for any queries. The perfect way to spend a birthday with friends. The walk from Settle to Stainforth Fosse is also a great walk with salmon leaping in the river at this time of year. The Plough at Wigglesworth and Craven Arms at Giggleswick both very good for food but don’t have the squid at the Plough unbelievably salty.
-
"Beautiful barn in God’s own county."
Everything you could possibly want and need for a fabulous family and friends holiday. Well equipped, with all fixtures and fittings at a very high standards.
-

"My party & I absolutely loved Crane Field Laithe."
Would highly recommend and we will be staying again in the future. Lovely personal touches by the hosts, it was amazing. Thank you!
-
"Modern, spacious, clean with excellent facilities."
Fantastic views of the Yorkshire Dales. Well positioned for walks from the property (with the nearby Black Horse Pub), or for touring around. Lots of things to do locally, including steam train ride and canal boat hire. Kitchen spacious and well equipped. Dining table big enough comfortably for 8. Beds very comfortable. Nice to have the wood burner going in the evening.
-
"We had a fantastic holiday at Crane Field Laithe."
The location is perfect both for short walks from the door in stunning countryside, as well as for a base to explore the beautiful Dales. The property has been converted to an extremally high standard and is very well equipped, it's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
-
"This is the second time we've been to this cottage and looking at booking for next year too."
The owner is close to hand and approachable but you are left in peace. The location is utterly tranquil and ideal spot for walkers, giving a wonderful location to relax after a day out. I would add that you probably need a car; there aren't eateries or pubs within walking distance, but everywhere is within a 5-10 min. drive. We (x4 couples) love the place as all have lovely bedrooms that are ensuite. Few family games and a small pool table for entertainment in the evening, plus enough sofas and chairs for everyone to lounge on. One of our group, when chatting one evening said how usually when he comes to places like this he thinks what he would change (as do I, pretending if I could live there) but couldn't find anything. It is one of the nicest places I have booked for our group.
Thankyou for your feedback Catherine, lovely to host you again. We will look forward to seeing you again next year ! Best wishes Rachael Property Owner
-
"Excellent accommodation, we all enjoyed our stay."
Great place for a family get together, will certainly consider a return visit when we have the opportunity.
Thanks for your lovely feedback Simon, glad you had a good week, great to meet you all and hope to see you again some time! Property Owner
-
"The cottage was gorgeous and we have already booked for next year."
A few things that would have made the stay even better would have been some blinds in the living room, as the sun was quite blinding when sat in the living room. Surround sound as depending on where you say you couldn’t really hear the tele but with a kid in the main room we could do it to load. It being dog friendly too as we had to leave ours behind and its such a walking area wished our dog could have come.
Thanks for your feedback Laura, glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you the pointers, really helpful . Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"Crane Field Laithe had all our needs met in comfort and with a beautiful location."
We were a party of 7 adults, my mother disabled, so the ground floor en-suite was ideal and something we were specifically looking for. It was well supplied with all you could need in the kitchen for cooking a full Christmas dinner (we have found other cottages sometimes don’t provide adequate equipment and serving dishes). The washer and dryer came in very handy for soggy and muddy walking clothes and the hot tub was amazing! The multi fuel stove was a godsend and really kept the communal living spaces toasty. Carne Field Laithe is in a beautiful area of the Dales, perfectly positioned for walks straight from the door and wider explorations. The Lister arms in Malham was recommended in the cottage book and we can thoroughly endorse it too! Thank you for a Christmas to remember!
Thankyou for your lovely feedback Catherine and for leaving the house so nicely. I am pleased we could help you to enjoy your Christmas and hope to see you again one day. Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"The property was perfect for the six of us."
The bedrooms, all with en-suites, were very comfy and spacious and we all slept really well. The lounge had plenty of comfy seating and a great view. The hot tub was a large one and the pool table was a real bonus. We are avid cooks and we found the kitchen had everything we needed, couldn’t fault anything and would happily book again. A lot of thought and effort has gone into making the house a great holiday home and we really appreciated it.
Thanks for the feedback Karin and for leaving the house so nicely. Lovely to meet you, hope to see you again sometime. Best wishes Rachael Property Owner
-
"Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home."
Everything was perfect and we will definitely return in the future. Thank you for the very generous welcome pack and all the little extras (dishwasher tablets, bathroom toiletries, wood for the stove, blankets, board games and more) that helped make our stay so easy and enjoyable. We loved the rural location and the layout of the house. We just wished we could have stayed longer!
-
"From communication with the owners prior to arrival, the welcome pack to the quality of the property, everything was excellent."
The location, equipment beds and general comfort were the best we have experienced in a rental property. Very highly recommended.
Thankyou for your lovely feedback David. Thankyou also for leaving the house so clean and tidy. A pleasure to host you, look forward to seeing you again soon! Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"Fantastic place to stay."
Beautifully furnished, Well equipped , beautiful location

"I have just had the most wonderful stay at Crane Field Laithe with a group of friends to celebrate my 40th."
The hosts couldn't have been better, clear information packs about the property including it's history which was interesting to know, a thoughtful welcome pack including delicious home baked goods and messages to let us know the property was ready for check in earlier than expected and no rush for us to leave on our departure day. The property itself is stunning yet cosy and comfortable at the same time, the kitchen is well equipped and the sofas and chairs in the lounge are spacious and perfect for lounging on. All the bedrooms are beautiful with the most comfortable beds I've slept in at a holiday let and combined with good quality bedding, made for a great nights sleep. All the rooms are en suite with spacious and beautiful bathrooms and the whole property was spotless. A highlight for us was seeing the colours change on the landscape as the sunset in the evening and watching it rise whilst in the hot tub, the scenery is beautiful. Perfect place for making special memories.
Thankyou for your lovely feedback Roberta. I am glad we could help your 40th birthday celebrations in some small way. best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"We have just returned from our traditional autumn weekend break and so pleased we chose to spend it at Crane Field Laithe."
Fantastic property in a quiet location. Very well furnished, immaculately clean with more than enough room for 8 people and all the bedrooms are en-suite, always a plus. Lovely welcome pack with fabulous homemade brownies. Plenty to do in the area, enjoyed a lovely day in Skipton and managed to walk one of the peaks, Pen-y-Ghent. Great to soak our sore muscles in the hot tub when we got back. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return next year.
-
"We were 6 ladies who stayed here 7th October for a week ."
The house is a fabulous place to stay exceptionally clean and top quality furnishings and fantastic comfy beds . Hot tub was fantastic after walking all day . And sitting by the log burner at night . We would definitely recommend this place . We hope to stay again next year . Rachel the host was a lovely lady and nothing too much trouble. Lovely welcome pack with yummy homemade brownies
Thanks for the lovely feedback Patricia, I am glad you enjoyed your time with us. Hope to see you ladies again sometime! Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"We are 6 friends celebrating a 50th birthday and 30 years of friendship."
The house was absolutely perfect. It was spotlessly clean, really comfortable and cosy. The welcoming gifts and card were so kind and really thoughtful. The brownies in particular were yummy and lasted 5 minutes! We loved having the sheep as our neighbours and the hot tub was just fabulous. We are already planning a return trip for the next 50th!
-
"We all thought the beds were very comfortable."
The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to make a cake. An electric hand whisk would have made the task easier. Each bedroom having its own ensuite made our stay very comfortable. The whole building was beautifully decorated. A luxurious stay in a very pretty setting.
Hi Susan, Thanks for the lovely feedback, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for the tip about a hand whisk too. Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"The property, facilities, views and location are amazing, we could find no faults whatsoever."
It was above our expectations and we had a truly fantastic stay
-
"Exceptionally clean and the kitchen organisation was amazing!"
Roomy, bathrooms- gorgeous! A parasol would be great for the garden furniture as we had very hot weather 26- 30 degrees - not complaining in the least! Beautiful views, peaceful and easy to get to places . Sheep and cows for neighbours. Places to visit : Skipton Castle and woods, Ingleton waterfalls trail, Ingleborough Caves - personally I thought that was expensive at £13.00 per adult but that did include a walk at about £2.50 approx per adult. Stockeld park, Grassington. Malham Cove -We just ran out of time to visit all the places we wanted to! Would definitely book again!
Thanks for your feedback Tracy, glad you had a good time. It was amazingly hot weather for Yorkshire!! Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"This is a wonderful home."
It was a pleasure to read about how a delapidated barn coul be transformed into such a superb house. Very clean and.comfortable with a huge selection of utilities. The welcome pack was a treat and the hot tub lovely to come home to after a day touring. Plenty places to visit in the area. We have nothing but praise for the home and also for a perfect host. Would highly recommend for a lovely holiday.
-
"This is an excellent and high grade property which we would recommend highly about it’s high standard And facilities."
Beautiful location with surrounding fields is a feast to your eyes. Hot tub was excellent. Only drawback was only one shower could be used at any given time despite having 4 showers as the other showers Could not give enough power to the water .
Thankyou for your feedback, glad you had a lovely time. I will investigate the showers, thanks for letting us know about that. Best wishes Rachael Property Owner

"This property was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in June which was helped by us experiencing the most glorious hot weather."
The house is beautiful with lovely views across the Yorkshire countryside. The contact with the owner was excellent. She left us a lovely basket of goodies which we enjoyed on our first evening sitting on the terrace. The house is very well equipped with very good quality furniture and furnishings. The kitchen is lovely and has everything you would need if you wanted to cater for yourselves. The bedrooms are lovely, beds very comfortable with lovely cotton sheets etc and nice pillows - all things the can spoil your stay if not done correctly. Bathrooms are beautiful with lovely white fluffy towels. The hot tub was fantastic but we could not use it the first night due to it having to reach the temp following being cleaned. This was fine and we very much enjoyed it on the following nights. I feel loath to mention the few things that could have given this property 10 out of 10 but I think 9 .5 is a great score. Out of the 4 bedrooms only 2 had wardrobes and those wardrobes only had about 5 hangers each. This wasnt too much of a problem as we were 1 extended family together so could move our clothes into the other bedrooms but if you were going with friends this may be an issue - although a minor issue. So take some hangers with you. The internet is excellent and inside the property the service was fast, but no service outside. The main issue was that between our party we can 3 mobile phone service providers and non of them were available in or around the property so if you need to have access to making phone calls you will be disappointed. WhatsApp was still available so we could make some contact with the outside world. As it was this was not too much of a problem because we were 1 extended family so didn't really need to contact anyone. Obviously you are in the very heart of the countryside and for me I was not too worried about this because I am sure you could still have emergency calls. We would definitely go back to this property. We have used Sykes many times, and some properties have not been very good and especially not clean but this was fantastic in every way.

"An amazing week for a family get together."
Beautiful comfortable place, fully equipped house, with lots to entertain all age ranges. Easy access, very peaceful. Hot tub was the crowning glory. Thank you Rachael , created a memorable special birthday
Thanks for your lovely comments Helen. Glad you had a good time for your birthday celebrations. Loved the notes from the kids on the visitor star!! Hope to see you again one day. Rachael Property Owner

"We have stayed before and really like this high-standard accommodation."
Just couple of points to note:- No casserole dish We couldn't find any shaver/electric toothbrush points. Maybe they are there but we didn't see any. No tea strainer The property is lsited as being in Airton. It is in Otterburn. .
Thanks for the tips Phillip. I will check with Sykes why it is listed as Airton, it is indeed in Otterburn! Property Owner

"Great place for a multigenerational family gathering."
-
"We all had a great time at Crane Field Laithe."
We have stayed in many properties but by general consent this was the best place we had ever stayed in. The facilities are great; en suite in all bedrooms is brilliant. The barn conversion has been done to a very high standard and the layout of kitchen dining area and sitting room all work well with a family group of six. The hot tub was the star attraction for the youngest member of the family and the snooker table was very popular. Worth mentioning also is how well provided the kitchen is with everything you might need. And not just one mug or plate per person but a good number so that we didn’t run out during the day. Not only is the design of the conversion outstanding but the furniture and fittings are very stylish and comfortable. I must also mention the setting. Amazing views from across the fields and hills and where else are you welcomed by a group of young lambs? A welcome basket of goodies was also really appreciated and the home made brownies were out of this world. Our thanks to Ashley and Rachael for their exceptional hospitality.
Thanks Peter and guests for your lovely comments, we are glad you enjoyed your time with us and will hopefully look forward to welcoming you again one day. Property Owner

"Very high standard of accommodation with extremely comfortable beds."
Nothing was lacking and the location is perfect.
-
"A beautiful property, in a most wonderful setting; private, scenic, quiet with the bonus of it being lambing season in the fields around to look out on."
Spacious and very nicely decorated, enabling us to all sit, eat and play together. Lovely welcome basket, Prosecco and milk but the Brownies ... ... ... Wow! I will be back x
-
"We had a fantastic week in this property."
It is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The hot tub is a great addition, particularly with such a beautiful view. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cranefield Laithe for a relaxing break in the Dales.
-
"A fabulous property in a stunning location."
The owners have clearly taken pride in the barn and everything was of the highest standard. We especially liked the extra touches: the wonderful welcome pack, (amazing brownies!) the wine cooler and the snooker table. The hot tub, with its fantastic view, was the perfect place to relax after our walks. Everything was immaculately clean and the beds were so comfortable. This was the perfect place for a family weekend. Thank you so much to Ashley and Rachael.
-
"Superb house in a superb location."
Great attention to detail and a very generous welcome pack on arrival. We had a great time helped by lovely weather. A big thank you to the owners of Cranefield Laithe.
-
"We have just returned from a great week at Crane Field Laithe and can't recommend the place highly enough."
Very well furnished, immaculately clean with more than enough room for 8 people, the pool table and hot tub were well used through the week, fab welcome pack ( amazing brownies!) and loads to do in the local area, we visited malham cove, Skipton, Billy Bob's diner and several others. We have stayed in many UK holiday homes over the last couple of years and this one is by far the best we have stayed at.
-
"Easy to find, great location and setting."
Lovely views and walks. Not far from Settle and Malham. We had a lovely relaxing weekend. Definitely recommend this property
-
"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting."
Everything was to such a high standard. Lovely personal touches including Christmas tree & brownies. Beds were so comfortable & bathrooms were immaculate. Perfect for a group of friends weekend away. Would definitely recommend & hope to be back next year.
-
"Fabulous property in a lovely quiet location, very helpful owners."
Very comfortable and warm, despite the very cold weather. Good area for walking and cycling. Excellent farm shop and cafe in nearby Airton. We had a lovely Sunday lunchtime carvery at the Black Horse in Hellifield.
-
"Has to be one of the best houses we have ever stayed in."
(all six of us agreed)Absolutely beautiful , amazing views all round and Spotlessly clean, with everything you could need for your stay. Very nice welcome pack with best ever brownies and a lovely little note from the owner. We were back home for 1 day and decided to re book for the following day, something as a group we have never done before (and we have stayed in some beautiful houses. This one ticked every box
-
"Well done on creating a wonderful place to stay."
We would change nothing and glad you got the hot tub ... swung our decision :-). Certainly would stay there again.
-
"An absolutely beautiful cottage, with everything you could possibly need."
Wonderfully comfortable beds. Such a fabulous weekend with the girls in a fabulous cottage. Thank you
-
"What a fabulous weekend we have just had at Crane Field Laithe."
Absolutely stunning property and no expense spared. So comfortable with fantastic amenities. We all had a brilliant time and are planning on returning next year as an annual meet up. We were all in awe of how amazing and spotless the property was, absolutely immaculate. Welcome basket on arrival also a lovely touch and those brownies were absolutely delicious. Thank you Rachel and family. We will be back.
-
"The property was finished to an exceptionally high standard and very well equipped."
We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in lovely surroundings. The welcome pack and note from the owners was much appreciated.
-
"Our stay at Crane Field Laithe was brilliant!"
The house had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and it was exceptionally clean. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
-
"Everything was perfect."
It was hard to choose between the bedrooms, they were all so nice, and the kitchen was really well-stocked. The house had a lovely feeling of space, despite there being six of us, and we spent many happy hours just chilling in the lovely sitting room. The pool table also saw a lot of use. The outside space was lovely, with splendid views and plenty of sheep to talk to. The welcome pack was a nice touch (the brownies were delicious), and it soon erased the memory of the 7 hour journey from the South. We really enjoyed exploring the area - Malham Cove, Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn - which were all within 15-20 mins drive of the property.
-
"Crane Field Laithe was amazing, from the start of our holiday until the day we left it was such a lovely place to stay in beautiful surroundings."
There was everything you could need at the barn and the owners were very helpful. Would definitely return and highly recommend.
-
"Lovely location situated away from the owners farm in its own grounds with amazing views of the rolling countryside."
Sounds of the farm animals fill the air and the friendly cows will often come and say hello at the fence. Easy access by car to all the local attractions, walks and towns of the Dales. Great stay and would highly recommend the property and owners who left a lovely welcome pack to kick start our week.
-
"As described the house is set in open country with the only other building you can see being the side of a distant barn."
The building has been it has been thoughtfully and beautifully restored to a very high standard. The accommodation is exactly as described, spacious, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The welcome basket had some lovely home baked cakes and other local produce. It's possible to do a number of walks from the property but there is easy road access to the wider area. This is an excellent holiday home and we would be happy to go back.
-
"The property was lovely, everything there that we could possibly need."
It was very comfortable and spacious and the building itself was very special. We have had a great week!
-
"The welcome pack was really personal and a lovely surprise and we felt the location and the quality of the home was really special."
-
"A gorgeous property in a beautiful setting."
Immaculately presented and equipped with everything you could ever need. The owners are very friendly and approachable. This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in and would definitely recommend it.
-
"It was a lovely cottage, tranquil and relaxing."
The furnishings were of a very high standard, the welcome pack was fantastic and the hosts were great, even informing us of when a steam train was coming. I could go further describing it but would run out of superlatives. It’s by far the best cottage that we have stayed in, and we’ve been to quite a few.
-
"Crane Field Laithe is a recently completed fabulous barn conversion offering loads of space and high quality fixtures and fittings."
It has everything you could need and more. Every bedroom is en-suite and has a modern smart tv. The beds are very comfortable and the linen is excellent quality. The kitchen diner is superb and has every appliance you could need including a rangemaster dual oven cooker. As well as a large fridge freezer there is even a separate wine cooler - very useful. The welcome gifts were the best we have ever had and the welcome book was excellent. I must add that credit goes to whoever prepared the property as it was spotless. The property is situated on a quiet road leading into Otterburn. It has beautiful views from the lounge area looking over fields full of sheep and cows. We were so lucky to be there to witness the newly born lambs having lots of fun. To sum up is easy. If you book this property you will not be disappointed as it really is delightful.
-
"Gorgeous cottage in a fabulous location for exploring the Dales."
The property was immaculate and had everything you could wish for and more, the kitchen was extremely well equipped. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again.
