Bay Horse Cottage

We had a great stay at Bay cottage.

Had everything you would need. Cottage very comfortable and a lovely little welcome pack on arrival, just wished we had booked longer! J&R

We only came back yesterday, and we’re already planning our next visit for the winter — I think that says it all!

If I had to make one recommendation, it would perhaps be to have a king-size bed. Other than that, I honestly can’t think of a single reason not to give this cottage a well-deserved 5-star rating. We absolutely loved our stay!

the stairs are not for the people unsteady on the legs , another banister maybe .

Other wise first class welcome with treats

Lovely accommodation in a beautiful peaceful setting, yet easy to drive to places such as Skipton and Harrogate.

Would definitely stay again and would also recommend!

Bay Horse Cottage was lovely, very clean, had all you needed for a comfortable stay, loved the alpacas, was a great base to travel to different locations, Great owners, Thank you Nancy for the great welcome pack

Lovely welcome pack much appreciated.

Comfortable accommodation.

11 out of 10.

Perfect location for day tripping , accommodation absolutely perfect and our hosts Brendan and Nancy were top class , very friendly, never intrusive. The start up supplies gifted were perfect. To conclude the view from the cottage is so lovely , the cottage beautifully presented and the best we’ve booked so far . Thanks to Nancy and Brendan for an amazing stay.

Bay Horse Cottage was a wonderful place to stay.

The cottage itself was immaculate, comfortable and well equipped. We loved waking up to views of lambs bouncing across the fields and having a daily cuddle with the alpacas. Brendan and Nancy were excellent hosts, we really appreciated the lovely welcoming card and pack including delicious fresh eggs. The location is ideal for visiting Grassington and Skipton. Highly recommend doing the Linton Falls walk and horse riding on the dales with Kilnsey Trekking.

This property was just an amazing place to stay and to greeted by the alpacas was lovely Brendan and Nancy pulled out all the stops to make our stay so lovely What a lovely gesture to have a welcome pack upon arrival the cottage was clean and tidy enjoyed having the log burner every evening Will definitely be back to stay again Thank you again for everything Mo and pete

Second visit to this amazing property.

Nancy and Brendon are two lovely people. Very helpful and friendly. Looking forward to the next trip. Also in a very ideal location. All in all. Perfect.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very comfortable property,real home from home , would definitely stay again and was great to meet the alpacas something my wife has wanted to do for a while.

We had such a lovely stay at Bay Horse Cottage!

The location is gorgeous with amazing views, and the cottage itself was cosy, spotless, and had everything we needed. The alpacas were a real treat to see, and the welcome pack was a thoughtful touch we enjoyed. All in all, a wonderful getaway—we’d happily come back!

We have never stayed in a better property and we’ve stayed in more than a few.

The location is fabulous, the house is gorgeous and the owner extremely nice. There were lots of special touches which we didn’t expect but were much appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for more.

I would highly recommend staying at Bay Horse Cottage it really is a fantastic well equipped cottage with a high level of finish and we received an amazing welcome pack.

The location is beautiful, very quiet and straight out into the countryside. The alpacas are gorgeous too just across from the cottage.

The property is easy to find, a few miles outside Skipton which has supermarkets and a few gift and charity shops.

There are views across the fields containing alpacas, sheep and cows. My adult son and I spent four nights, three days in the cottage and found it easy to access the tourist hotspots for beautiful walks and the Turkish baths of Harrogate. The cottage and surrounding areas are beautifully presented. We had all that we needed for relaxing evenings in, plenty of comfortable seating, cosy beds and a luxury bathroom plus ensuite in the top floor room. The owners who live on site could not have been friendlier and more helpful including loaning me a vital phone charger. I was alone for the first day and night and felt very secure. We enjoyed our welcome package and meeting the hens who laid the eggs, cuddling the sheep and the comedy element of the pet dogs and alpacas. However, if you are not an animal lover, you don't need to encounter them. We had a lovely few days away despite the rain, thank you for making us feel so welcome. NB the family also run https://fentshopskipton.co.uk/ on site, we were not disturbed by this, but it may be of interest to those looking to purchase knitting wools and fabrics from the roll.

Excellent location.

peaceful. Lovely cottage. The welcome pack was great,and Nancy and Brendan were a lovely couple.would stay again.

Our experience at the Bay Horse Cottage was exceptional.

Our host are delightful people - they left a fabulous welcome pack and were very attentive to our needs during the week without being intrusive. The cottage is beautifully furnished with top quality curtain fabric . We even had pure cotton bed linen - a luxurious sleeping experience. It is a charming old stone building, renovated into a holiday let, that has all the modern appliances included. It was a pleasure to live there for a week. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Lovely cottage in a great area.

Very comfortable. Everything you could need in the cottage as well as lots of little extras. Welcome pack much appreciated. Owners friendly but not intrusive. Would definitely return

Beautiful place to stay was lovely having Alpaca s outside kitchen window The goodies were nice as well .

The cottage was very comfortable and the owners were very friendly Definitely on our list to go again

The property was fantastic!

It was very clean and clearly been finished off to a very high standard. The kitchen and living area were spacious and nicely equipped. The bathroom had a lovely relaxing bath and possibly the best shower I have ever been in. All of us loved staying here and our boys especially loved playing and feeding the Alpacas. Overall we would highly recommend and would quite happily return ourselves.

Wonderfull stay at the cottage with very kind host.

Cottage was very nice,clean ,quiet in a wonderfull area. From there you can explore Yorkshire Dales most destinations in approx one hour drive.

The property is lovely and Nancy was an excellent host nothing was too much trouble.

Our granddaughters loved the alpacas. The only fault we found was that it says there is a paddock to be used so we took our usual outdoor games to play with in the paddock but it was unusable due to alpaca poop and vow pats so we were unable to play the outdoor games. I understand it is a farm and if it had not been advertised as a usable paddock we would not have expected it.

Fantastic cottage, everything that you could need was there for you.

We were made to feel very welcolme. The welcome pack was over and above what is usually given. The setting was quiet and restful, very central to visit places of interest. Lovely walks along the canal into Skipton and the other way in Gargrave. Would thoroughly recommend this property, we don't usually stay in the same place twice but would make an exception in this case. Looking forward to booking again soon.

A lovely cottage with great owners and peaceful surroundings.

The icing on the cake is the alpacas and Pepe the gorgeous Spinoni. Everything was comfy and clean and the welcome pack was delicious. A perfect base to explore the beautiful area from.

The cottage was lovely.

It was comfortable, well equipped (with everything you could need) and felt like a real home from home. We loved the pictures on the walls and all the extra touches. The bath was wonderfully deep and luxurious, and the shower was invigorating and powerful. We loved the location with it's stunning views and tranquil setting, it's priceless when all you can hear is the wind in the tree's and birdsong. Having Sunshine and Sputnik the alpacas close by was an additional bonus, we made friends over carrots and apples :) Our hosts, Brenden and Nancy couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived, the fresh milk and eggs were really appreciated. They both went more than ' the extra mile' during our stay, Brenden even drove us to the registry office were we got married and then on for a meal afterwards. Thank you both so much for your genuine kindness, you made our whole experience perfect.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful Cottage.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful and really made us feel welcome. They had left a lovely welcome pack upon our arrival and were the best hosts we could have wished for. The Cottage was in lovely grounds with alpacas and a donkey in the field opposite. The Cottage was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. A great base to visit Skipton and surrounding area. Loved this place and will definitely be back.

We had such a wonderful stay at Bay Horse Cottage!

Our young children loved staying making friends with the alpacas and donkey and there were so many great days out for families close by. Thank you to Nancy and Brendan for the lovely welcome pack and providing such a comfortable base for us to explore a gorgeous part of the country. We hope to be back!

Thank you for a great few days.

We loved the situation with alpacas nearby, and a fabric shop on the farm. The only criticisms - The upper floor and stairs creak loudly and so you can’t use the bathroom without disturbing others. There was very little privacy in the top floor bedroom and the en-suite facilities have a smoked glass door so from the bed the person using the toilet is in full view. If we came again I would bring a curtain to pin up!

Lovely hosts, cosy comfortable cottage, maintained at high standard.

Easy access to main roads yet very rural. Pet alpacas & a donkey in field loved being fed carrots & apples. Well placed for visiting many places in the county. Did the Emmerdale tour, had a canal boat trip, ate at a few fab places, visited a National Trust property. RHS garden & even had a takeaway delivered one evening.

Our stay was absolutely lovely.

It felt like home, but even better in every way. The place was sparkling clean, Nancy went above and beyond to be attentive, and everything we needed was available. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Thank you.

A comfortable cottage in a wonderful location, ideal location for sight seeing central to the Lake District an the east York dales.

Good location with easy access to some lovely parts of the Dales.

Very friendly and helpful owners who live next door. Lovely cottage. Very well equipped kitchen suitable for cooking large meals. Bathroom and shower work very well. Sitting room has option for open fire which was easy to setup. The master bedroom double bed was only a small double - 4'6". We would have preferred a larger bed.

This was a lovely, warm, comfortable cottage, the owners are lovely.

The welcome pack was very good. It was in a nice quiet place but was within reach of shops etc. We would definitely recommend it.

We were so happy with the property,it was cosy,warm and you provided everything you could want for a pleasant stay.

The settee and chair were so comfy and the bathroom was heaven,what a shower! Loved the woolly neighbours, especially George, could have adopted him.You also left some tasty goodies that were very much appreciated.Great hosts!

Fantastic cottage, exactly as described, great location.

The owners and thier family were so welcoming and lovely. Everything worked but even if there was an issue Nanby and Brendan were so keen to help us sort out any issues I was confident they would be sorted. Would love to come and stay again in the future.

This charming, very well-appointed cottage is set in a neat cobbled farmyard with views of fields, woods and the much-mentioned friendly animal residents.

Its quiet situation is perfect as a starting point for exploring North Yorkshire, yet so near to the facilities of Skipton. We were made very welcome by our hosts and our 3-night stay was all too brief.

lovely cottage in beautiful location and very friendly animals Brendan and Nancy always on hand with help and advise when needed will be back.

....

A lovely cottage in a quiet location, very clean throughout the cottage, welcome pack on table on arrival, owners friendly and nearby if any problems, we had none, an enjoyable weeks stay.

Lovely cottage, very clean and homely.

Nancy and Brendan were very welcoming and helpful. We spoke to Nancy about the mattress in main bedroom and she was going to get new one. We would recommend cottage!

This was 1st class, the welcome pack was indeed a welcome pack.

We can't fault this property. Thank you Nancy and Brenden.

A comfortable and welcoming cottage at the gateway to the Dales.

Well equipped and ideal for a family holiday

Really enjoyed this beautiful cottage.

The owners, Brendan and Nancy, are so friendly and helpful. The welcome pack is probably the nicest we have received anywhere. The animals are a real delight: the alpacas and donkey. The cottage is very comfortable and we look forward to returning there.

Lovely cottage, surroundings and views.

Great location for exploring the Dales. Made to feel very welcome by Nancy and Brendan, but not intrusive. Excellent welcome pack, very pleasant surprise. Very well stocked with all essentials( much better than most rental properties) Couldn’t find coffee machine mentioned in welcome book ( but we didn’t ask!) Only thing we think could be improved upon would be a full set of larger mugs and a hairdryer

A Beautiful cottage in a rural location, with great access links to Skipton, Settle, and Ilkley.

Cottage was warm, cosy and well equipped with everything we needed.

A beautiful property with everything we needed for a relaxing break.

Spotlessly clean and well furnished but comfortable, with an open fire that Brendon and Nancy had lit for our arrival. We spent 5 colder days in February there but the cottage was lovely and warm and the surrounding area is good for walking and close to Skipton for shopping and eating out. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Great cottage.

Great hosts. Great holiday.

The owners were the loveliest hosts during our stay at the beautiful Bay Horse Cottage.

This place is a gem, sitting pretty on a farm just off the main road and only a short hop from Skipton. It's really the perfect combination of being super easy to get to and still feeling like you've escaped to the dreamiest countryside spot. Walking into the cottage was like stepping into a holiday wonderland. You could tell they put a ton of thought into the design, giving the whole place this luxurious yet homey vibe. We were there in December and got to enjoy a festive atmosphere with the cottage and the farm speckled with festive decorations, which gave the place a cozy and magical feel. We absolutely fell in love with Bay Horse Cottage and can't wait to come back. It was such a charming retreat. We will miss waking up to the fluffy sheep sitting outside our window by the swing, watching the farm dog running around outside the kitchen window, and getting glimpses of the donkey rolling around in the mud randomly throughout the day. We can't wait to come back for another visit.

We had the pleasure of staying in Bay Horse Cottage for a week.

From the moment we walked in we felt at home straight away. The cottage was very cosy and welcoming. It was well equipped and comfortable. The open fire was lovely and the view from the cottage was a mixture of lush green fields and a forest at the top of the hills.it was really peaceful and relaxing. The owners, Nancy and Brendan are lovely people and could not do enough for us. We will definitely be booking again! We thoroughly recommend this cottage. Dale and Kate Pegram

The Property was well appointed and on arrival the hosts and made sure it was warm and lamps inside lit, which was a really nice touch, a welcome basket was left on the table for us which was really nice, the property was well maintained and clean, fridge, cooker and hob all worked perfectly with a selection of pans to use.

When we arrived although it had a key pad entrance system the host did come and introduce herself which is nice and had a quick chat with us, I Like the "Human Touch" The property was easy to find and close to the local town Harrogate, York and Ripon all in easy travel distance and even Kendal in the other direction just an hour away, so all in all a really nice property in an excellent position for local towns (no tight lanes to negotiate) Considering the A65 is fairly close you don't hear it at all, the property is in a really quiet location, we would certainly stay here again when revisiting this area, this was exactly what we like in a rental property.

We had a wonderful week at Bay Horse cottage.

The cottage was as pictured, well furnished, modern, warm and clean. The owners Brendan and Nancy were very welcoming and kind with their generous welcome pack. They were also very helpful regarding local walks etc. We would recommend Bay Horse cottage very highly.

A very comfortable and welcoming cottage with all the facilities that you would want for your stay and in excellent proximity to the wonderful town of Skipton.

A very generous welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival and we thoroughly enjoyed it during our stay, thank you. The owners were on hand and more than pleased to help with any advice that was needed and we particularly enjoyed meeting all the animals. We would thoroughly recommend the cottage and gain thank the owners for a super holiday.

We spent a truly wonderful 4 days in the cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough.

A lovely part of the country, beautiful rural location yet close to Harrogate and York if shopping’s your thing. The cottage was a lovely mix of old and new, beautifully equipped for guests with high end equipment (kitchen and bathroom) and a homely feel. Delightful hosts, very friendly if you like a chat, without any pressure to engage if you don’t feel sociable. Perfect holiday to unwind from daily life.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, which we found very comfortable and suitable for our needs.

We especially appreciated the generous welcome pack.

Our arrival at this beautiful location was greeted with Prosecco, snacks, fresh farm eggs, milk in the fridge and a personalised written welcome card from the owners Brendon and Nancy.

Immediately we knew we had chosen the perfect cottage to stay in for our short break. Our hosts, although very busy, took the time to chat with us and made us feel very much at home. Our children had an exciting time feeding the alpaca’s, sheep and donkey in the adjacent paddock while we were able to relax in comfort. The facilities are excellent and we wanted for nothing. It was a wonderful stay and we only wish it could have been for longer.

Bay Horse Cottage was a wonderful relaxing place to stay.

The accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very friendly and helpful and my family and I would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone looking to stay in beautiful Yorkshire

The cottage was absolutely beautiful.

So comfortable and clean and in a brilliant location. The animals on the farm were an added bonus! Nancy, the owner was so helpful, both before and during our stay. We had been left milk, teabags etc along with chocolates, crisps and Prosecco! It was so lovely to walk into such an inviting friendly place. We will definitely be back!

Well equipped cottage in a lovely and convenient location.

Lots of little extras made it feel extra special. Small problem with the hob was dealt with promptly. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Animals in the paddock were a lovely bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Set in a quiet location but close to Skipton and all its shops. The Canal is nearby and we had an enjoyable walk into Skipton and back along the towpath The cottage is beautifully renovated and very comfortable and well equipped. The owners Nancy and Brendan made us very welcome with a lovely welcome pack. It was lovely to watch the animals in the fields and the two Alpacas were very friendly and made us laugh.

Nice owners who live on site, property is a great place to escape too in the countryside, roughly 2 miles from Skipton.

The property is well equipped, very comfortable and there was lovely welcome pack. The alpacas, donkey, sheep and chickens will also welcome your attention. Would use again when walking in the dales.

A wonderful 4 nights in a lovely cottage.

Wish it could have been for longer. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Hope we can come back soon.

I am not surprised this is a popular property.

The owners Brendan and Nancy are great and went out of their way to provide a welcome pack which was both plentiful and tasty. The property is ideally located for visiting a nuber of locations around the area. The animals at the farm are fabulous, George the doney,Sunshine and Sputnik the Al Paca's and not forgetting Pepi the dog - all extremely friendly and great to have close to the cottage. I have no hesitation in highly recommending the property as a suitable vacation location.

We loved our stay,everything we needed and more was provided.

Our only suggestion would be to have the property's name signboarded. We arrived in the dark, and had to ring the owner for help ( which was provided with a smile); a name at the roadside would have obviated the problem. If we lived in this country we'd be regular visitors!

Loved our stay.

Cottage is spacious and comfortable and in a lovely setting. The hosts were lovely, and we really appreciated the welcome gifts. Only negatives were a lack of cutlery and lids for the saucepans. One other suggestion would be to add some signage viewable from the road as this would make the cottage easier to find. However, would highly recommend and we won't hesitate to return if we are visiting the area again.

We were greeted on arrival by Nancy who made us feel very welcome.

There was a lovely welcome package awaiting us which was a lovely touch x The cottage was fabulous, like a boutique hotel meets home farm. The animals came to greet us too. The location of the cottage was brilliant as a base to explore the area. We would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Wonderful place to stay lovely lovely people

Lovely place to stay really helpful and a beautiful cottage…the owner gets it spot on.

Another lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage while visiting family.

The weather was appalling when we were in Yorkshire but the cottage was so warm and cosy and we lit the fire every night. The owners are lovely and we really enjoyed watching the animals. Thank you.

Had such a wonderful stay for our first family holiday with our 1 year old.

The cottage is beautiful and in such a peaceful location. The welcome basket was such a lovely surprise and there is everything you could ever possibly need and more to use for your stay. We especially loved the friendly animals and exploring the local area and can’t wait to come back.

We have had a wonderful stay at Bay Horse Cottage, so well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more.

Felt at home straight away. Very generous welcome pack from the lovely owners Brendan and Nancy who live next door. Loved seeing all the animals. The cottage is in the perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire dales and surrounding area. We would highly recommend. 10/10. What’s not to like.

Very comfortable and quiet cottage.

However, as we were thinking about rebooking for next year there are a few questions we would like answered. The owner told us that he plans to open a large 5 bedroomed unit with communal lounge. Also olans are in for a large venure catering for 90+ with bar. These plans totally change the setting and would spoil what is at the moment a peaceful retreat from town or city. Could Sykes confirm whether these plans would be in place by summer 2023.

General standard of the interior and fittings excellent, but the fridge and included icebox not big enough for party of four.

Family bathroom very well designed and equipped, but the lavatory and hand basin in upper bedroom very cramped. Suggestion for bottled water a surprise. It would be good to have a sitting-out area in the front garden.

Welcoming owners who live next door, nice greeting pack, good location, and probably the best cottage we’ve stayed at.

Will stay at the farm again.

The cottage is spacious but cosy too with all the necessary items for an enjoyable holiday.

The owners are really lovely and friendly too. There are numerous places to visit in the surrounding areas with a well stocked local farm shop nearby (Keelham) that serves good quality food and meals. Would recommend a stay at Bay Horse Cottage.

Very welcoming and friendly landlords, beautiful farm with adorable animals and a wonderful view and excellent location.

We will miss them all!

This was the loveliest of cottages, the best we've ever stayed in.

The owners were such nice people, and the cottage had everything you could need to enjoy a perfect holiday. Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.We loved the location, and the views were spectacular. We enjoyed waking up to views of animals grazing and the peace of the countryside.Plenty of places to visit nearby, Skipton town, which is lovely, including the castle, Visit Knaresborough, Thirsk (James Herriott) the Dales to enjoy the scenery, York. We loved it all.

Excellent accommodation, well placed for visiting the Dales.

My partner loved the friendly animals. Mobile coverage good and wifi excellent. Out door sitting not private but you will have the animals to look at. Kitchen small but supplies were good. Lovely welcoming chocolates and very friendly owners. Recommended

Excellent cottage, good location for Dales.

Proprietors, who live next door are very pleasant and helpful. We recommend this cottage.

Our stay at Bay Horse cottage was fantastic and didn't want to leave .

The cottage was very clean,warm and welcoming and in a lovely area . We wanted for nothing while in the cottage as the lovely owners had thought of everything and more. And also welcomed us with a welcome gift. The owners Nancy and Brendan were lovely and made our stay even more enjoyable.And we so enjoyed seeing the animals being led past the window to their shelter morning and evening. My only regrets were that we had only booked a week and had to leave .

Excellent in all aspects, apart perhaps from the builders in the yard , but this no fault of the owners.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bay Horse Cottage.

The accommodation was charming, comfortable and clean. The animals were delightful and the owners very thoughtful, kind and helpful. I will definitely return .

Very comfortable, homely and flexible accommodation.

Lovely comfortable, clean and cosy cottage.

This was perfect for our stay in January. A welcome pack and a roaring fire greeted us on arrival which was not expected and very thoughtful. The animals were hilarious and very friendly. Although the friendly owners live next door they were there if you needed them but not overbearing. Walks via the canal into Skipton on the doorstep! Altogether a great visit and we would definitely like to return.

Beautiful cottage and generous warm welcome.

Everything you need at the cottage for a relaxed stay. Lovely countryside location though still very close to local attractions. We will certainly be back.

We arrived at the cottage with a very warm welcome from the owners who was lighting the amazing open fire which was great because it was freezing outside.

on the table was chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco with a lovely welcome card . Nothing was too much trouble very friendly and lovely people who made our holiday we chatted with Brendon and Nancy and also the animals what a gorgeous place to live the cottage is great big open fire the bath was amazing and everything you needed at hand. Also very convenient to get to skipton either by walking along to the canal or car plus you can walk to Gargrave along the canal or by car lovely tea shop there plus a nice pub with lovely food called the mason arms also very friendly .was sad to leave but will definitely be back hopefully in the new year .thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us .

It was a great place to stay perfect for Skipton, Brendan and Nancy perfect hosts.

The farm animas were a delight and I shall miss them Extremely comfortable cottage, it's just a two mile walk into the town plenty of cafes and local shops to explore. Plus the lovely Skipton Castle and woods. If there was a negative not quite sure where to store our food. But otherwise would highly recommend.

Bay Horse Cottage is in a superb location with many interesting places to visit and sights to see within a short drive.

The cottage is furnished to a very high standard with a well-equipped kitchen. The owners live in a neighbouring property and are exceptionally welcoming. The basket of Yorkshire produce that greeted us on arrival at the cottage was much appreciated. The collection of family pets outside the front door including adorable alpacas and George, the grumpy donkey, were a source of endless amusement. The Bollywood Cottage 3 miles away in Gargrave serves excellent curries - booking advisable.

Fantastic welcome package, beautiful cottage, great location, friendly owners on hand to speak to, animals in the paddock were lovely.

Would definitely recommend.

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a perfect setting.

Very clean and well equipped with the added bonus of friendly and helpful owners next door, and a menagerie of farm animals to keep visitors amused. Great location for the Yorkshire Dales and only a few minutes drive into Skipton. Walks along the canal are on the doorstep. Good WiFi signal and all mod-cons, combined with great rural charm. Couldn’t fault it!

Excellent cottage, excellent location, lovely people, lovely animals.

..best we have been to

Would highly recommend this cottage- well equipped and maintained, comfortable, helpful hosts,great location.

We loved the top quality facilities, including bathroom and kitchen.

Incredibly comfy bed and sofas. Plus the lovely hosts and warm welcome. Beautiful cottage and setting.

Delightfully welcoming hosts and animals!

Lovely welcome pack was a surprise. Cottage well appointed and clean. For fully self catering a few basics such as grater, sieve and a few more sharp knives would be good. But Nancy provided a new pan during the week when we asked for one so I am sure we could have asked for these too and they would have been provided!

The owners of Bay Horse Cottage could not have been more hospitable.

They have thought of everything to make the stay at Bay Horse as comfortable as possible. I have never stayed anywhere at all where I felt so much at home. They deserve great credit for the way they let their property. It was far far better than we could have possibly expected. You should say Thankyou Nancy and Brendan.

The friendliness of Nancy and Brendan and family made our little holiday, the kids loved the setting and all the animals.

Lovely touch with the welcome gifts. A perfect stay. Thank you.

Bay Horse Cottage was a wonderful rural retreat in a fantastic setting.

We loved how spacious the cottage was and how welcomed we were by the owners and the animals!

A lovely really comfortable cottage in a beautiful part of Yorkshire.

Delightful helpful owners who live next door.

This is a beautiful, thoughtfully equipped cottage in lovely surroundings.

It gave us a quiet, relaxing break and the owners were always on hand to help with anything we needed.

We received a very warm welcome when we arrived.

The stone cottage is beautifully located and presented, looking out onto fields and our daughter really enjoyed seeing the Alpacas, sheeps, pigs and turkeys over the fence. There is plenty of parking and all the facilities you could need. Bolton Abbey is only 15 minutes away, Skipton is 5 minutes away and Malham 25 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Many thanks.

Bay Horse Cottage is ideally situated for exploring the southern part of the Dales.

Only a few miles from Skipton, so close to its pubs, restaurants and shops but also rural and peaceful. The cottage was spacious, comfortable, clean and well-equipped and a generous welcome pack was provided by the very friendly owners.

when we arrived we were welcomed by Nancy and Brendon who are a very helpful and friendly couple.

At once we met the alpacas and pigs and the sheep and the feeling of happiness was overwhelming. Once inside the cottage we were at home ,the peace and quiet and the layout of the cottage was just what we expected and more. There is a local farm shop near by and the bull pud and restaurant just up the road and all were fantastic clean friendly and with covid very very safe. We were sad to leave and for sure we will be back and to see our friends ...including the animals and to view and visit this fantastic place Yorkshire. Thank you both again for our truly Wonderfull stay

Very welcoming and a lovely cottage

Lovely little cottage with everything provided, we didn't even use a lot of the household items that we took with us.

The owners live next door and they're such lovely people, they can't do enough for you, Brendan even played basketball with our son :). Then there's the farm animals, they're so entertaining, especially the alpacas, but they're not noisy so don't worry about that. Lots of places nearby to visit, just a short car ride away. We had the best time, thank you.

An absolutely fantastic break in a wonderful cottage.

The cottage is extremely comfortable, with every amenity that you could wish for. The extras provided by the owners (prosecco, chocolates, biscuits, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, fresh eggs, jams, sauces etc etc) added to what was already a brilliant experience. We were made to feel extremely welcome. The animals in the field next to the cottage were brilliant - the alpacas, pigs, Paul the sheep (who thinks he is an alpaca) and the turkey, all gave us a warm welcome too.Easily the best cottage we have stayed in by a country mile.

The family who own the property are the best.
