The Curlews

We had a lovely stay.

The information we received from the owners in advance was informative and helpful. Thank you very much. The cottage was very clean. Everything was in good condition. The kitchen was comfortably equipped. We would definitely stay again if we plan to vacation in the area again.

A lovely, cosy cottage in a superb location.

It had everything we needed – a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room with a wood burner, and thoughtful touches like biscuits, coffee, dog treats, and plenty of wood. Perfect size for a couple with a dog, and we loved the many great walks from the doorstep. Parking in the nearby village car park was no issue, especially with the provided permit. A few minor issues: the bed mattress was saggy and could use replacing. Recycling facilities exist behind the car park but weren’t mentioned in the info pack – adding this would be helpful. Also, dog restrictions were only shared shortly before our stay; it would be better if these were included in the listing upfront. Lastly, sadly, the boiler wasn’t on when we arrived and we couldn't have a hot shower on the day of arrival. Despite these small points, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Beautiful little cottage in the heart of the North Yorkshire dales, very clean and comfortable stay, beautiful views and walks surround the village.

Incredibly peaceful, not having a washing machine was the only thing we missed from home, however there are laundromat in catterick and self service machines in catterick as well next to siesta coffee shop. you have otherwise everything else you need for a very wonderful stay! Enjoyed my coffee each morning outside the cottage enjoying the peacefulness, Very comfortable beds highly recommend the cottage.

Lovely cozy cottage in great location, well equiped for your stay away.

Great communication. would recomend.

Amazing and lovely cottage!

Highly recommended. The cottage is tucked away in a quiet location with lovely walks from the doorstep, fantastic location for northern Dales with the pretty village of Reeth just a short drive.

We had a lovely stay, the accommodation was super cute.

The village is beautiful. Overall we would definitely return.

What a lovely cottage and what a warm welcome.

Lovely cottage very comfortable and well equipped,we appreciated the very generous supply of kindling, coal and logs and thank you for the early check in and late check out

A great week away, thank you.

The cottage was spotless, and very well equipped. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners.We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!

The cottage is amazing and the scenery is spectacular, It would be helpful to have parking outside the property on the unused waste land to the side of the store unit, Snd to have a washing machine in the property, as with the weather been undetermined as it can be, To have this facility would be amazing

A delightful property.

We loved our stay . The Curlews is a very warm and comfortable property in a super location . It is clear that lots of careful thought has been invested into making a very cosy holiday home . You are right in the heart of super walking country with no need to resort to the car . Our dogs loved it .

It was a delight to be able to stay at the Curlew.

Information given before we arrive was clear and helpful and the information folder in the house was comprehensive.The house has modern kitchen and shower room and the whole house is pleasantly decorated. The location is wonderful. We didn't want to leave. Thanks

Loved the cottage got everything you need just the sofa and chair so uncomfortable downstairs everything else perfect

A fantastic property in a scenic village.

The cottage was perfect, kitchen and bathroom where modern and perfect, the bedrooms were so cosy and comfortable. And the lounge was so perfect to relax for quiet evenings. The area around is picturesque, with so many friendly local towns to explore. The property owner is so friendly and nice, especially as I left my AirPod at the cottage and they were so helpful in getting it back to me.

Gorgeous little cottage in a lovely place, used as a base to explore the dales and revive childhood memories, everything we needed seemed to be there, credit to the owners, wouldn't hesitate to visit again

A lovely little cottage in the most beautiful village of Langthwaite.

Idyllic! The cottage has everything you need and the amount of logs for the burner were amazing! Kept us nice and warm in the evenings.

Just a little cold when got there !

Could do with fan on top of log burner to spread heat evenly! Apart from that great location for walks from cottage and visiting local places of interest! So throughly enjoyed stay !

Had a week at the Curlews back in November.

A lovely character cottage with a well equipped kitchen, beautifully clean and clear instructions for everything. It's in a beautiful area of the country for walks and drives. We will be recommending to family and friends.

A lovely short break in the very first Dales village we stayed in 41 years ago.

We fell in love with the Dales then, and we have to scratch that itch on a fairly regular basis! The cottage was warm when we arrived (late January) the fire was laid and there was a very nice 'welcome' gift - thank you. We will return, and probably to The Curlews.

An absolutely wonderful stay at the Curlews.

It’s got all you need for a super stay in the Dales. Well equipped, cosy and amazing location - all made for a fabulous New Year!

A really gorgeous cosy cottage and we were lucky enough to spend Christmas here.

Even though the kitchen is compact there is plenty of storage space and it is really well equipped. The host couldn’t have done more to make sure our stay went well. We will be back!

Characterful, welcoming cottage in an idyllic village amidst beautiful, wild scenery.

Ideal for dog owners and walkers seeking a quiet break. Good pub with great food a few meadows walk away!

A fabulous cosy cottage-it’s definitely the best we’ve been to so far.

Loved the furnishings and it’s obvious a lot of care has been taken to make it so welcoming -thanks for the wine and biscuits too. Location is ideal with fields outside the front door to walk our dogs. The Red Lion pub is an absolute gem. Great beer, warm and a lovely landlady who had so many interesting tales to share. She was a pleasure to talk to on quieter nights. They don’t do meals anymore but do offer crisps and sweet treats. The cottage had ample hot water, heated towel rail in the bathroom much appreciated and the heating kept us cosy and warm. We loved the wood burner and were impressed with the supplies of wood and coal too. The only thing that would make it better is a washing machine-I was not planning to do laundry on holiday but sometimes situations arise and the facility would have made life easier. Not the end of the world obviously but maybe something to consider when the barn next door is developed. We will definitely be back

The cottage location was idyllic and perfect as a base for dog walking.

We found it very clean and the wine and biscuits awaiting us on arrival were a very welcome and enjoyable surprise. Appreciated also was the ample supply of logs and coal for the fire, though kindling was sparse (with no backup). And while the owners welcomed ‘two well behaved dogs’ and we received strict rules on dogs in the cottage the owners contacted us while on holiday as they were surprised to see we had dogs (just two). Sykes apparently didn’t tell them we were bringing dogs but did they need to? The owners welcomed two well behaved dogs… apparently. Something of concern was a slippery shower floor and the shower lacked anywhere to put soap, shampoo etc. Lacking in the bedroom was a clock or radio though I appreciate this may not be important for many. I think a shame was nondescript supermarket art on the walls rather that any beautiful scenes of the dales and the local pub was a huge let down. It did not allow dogs and was crying out for a new owner. The hideous electric ‘wood burner’ just one of many likely reasons why the pub was all but empty every night (not representative of the area). There is the CB Inn a ten minute walk from the cottage but this was a restaurant that sold drinks rather than a pub that served food. They did though welcome dogs and had a real fire (and unlike the Red Lion, was busy). In short the cottage was okay (for two), the location was great and the local pub utterly dismal. Beware also, in a very small village like this, you might get the feeling you are being spied on.

The Cottage was located perfectly, It was lovely, very comfortable and so much freedom, Need a washing machine rather than a dishwasher, Thank you very much Tonia and the girls

Lovely cottage in the heart of the Dales.

Nice village with friendly pub. Walks just out the front door. Great!

Just brilliant.

Beautiful cottage.

Beautiful location. Obviously money spent renovating it. WiFi really good. Plenty of fire wood for the log burner. Although it snowed we enjoyed an excellent long weekend.

I absolutely loved the cottage.

It was so comfortable, the log burner made it so cosy, the beds were the most comfortable and it was in a perfect location. I am missing it so much

Welcoming cottage, idyllic location, tastefully and comfortably done

We had a lovely time and I would go back again.

We really enjoyed our stay, everything was as described and so clean.

The location is beautiful.

The Curlews is a perfect base from which to explore the wonderful Dales.

It is a delightful place to stay and has everything one might need to make a holiday most enjoyable. As one can see from the photographs the cottage is small but wonderfully adequate. It is situated in the heart of the village of Langthwaite, just round the corner from The Red Lion where you can get a welcomed half pint at the end of a day of exploration. This was particularly relevant since the weather whilst in the dale was exceptionally hot. I totally recommend The Curlews as a place to stay, and I certainly will return there.

The Curlews was a comfortable & well equipped cottage & we had a lovely stay there.

We will certainly be back.

Lovely little cottage located in a quiet and pleasant village.

Has everything you need for a week stay or longer. We had an enjoyable time and would definitely return for another break.

A most enjoyable week in the upper Dales capped by the comfortable cottage in a quiet pleasant hamlet.

Curlews is equipped well enough and it has a homely atmosphere. Plenty of modern storage heaters and the log burner with seasoned logs provided would make it a very cosy cottage to return to following walks in the beautiful wall to wall countryside on cooler days. It might be considered a tadge small for four adults with one toilet and this being on the ground floor. Internet speed good.... we have an Amazon fire stick to pick up all tv options. Masses of film cds and games. Ideal cottage for two adults with children.

The cottage was very clean, cosy and comfortable; a real home from home!

There are some great walks from the cottage with stunning scenery and only livestock and birds to listen to - great! The Red Lion pub is about a 10 second walk away and serves very good beer - but the landlady told us that she isn't serving pies and sandwiches at lunchtime anymore. We definitely want to visit the cottage again.

Really lovely holiday home in a beautiful area.

A tight squeeze for 4 people downstairs, bedrooms spacious and comfortable

The curlews was an absolutely beautiful cottage, very homely and cosy, cant fault it at all, would highly recommend staying here.

We had a great holiday, the cottage was very warm and comfortable.

There was good walking direct from the cottage and we enjoyed the CB Inn. For those of a certain age it would be good to have an upstairs toilet. Other more minor points include, we would have appreciated a small shelf in the shower for toiletries, it would also be nice to have a 2 pin shaver socket in the bathroom.

The Curlews is just gorgeous, and I actually shed a tear when we left!

The cottage has been newly renovated and the owners have done a fantastic job. In my dreams, there'd be an upstairs WC, but I understand that's tricky with these small and v old cottages. But everything else was just wonderful - could not recommend it more highly.

The cottage is superb and has everything you could possibly need.

Highly recommended

Really lovely clean tidy cottage , very comfortable and cozy and great walking on the door step .

Whilst it did not detract from our stay there the downstairs bathroom and toilet will be a drawback for some,especially if you get up in the early hours and the dogs think its time for a walk, as they sleep downstairs.

The surrounding area offers some great walks so as a base its perfect,and after the walks the log burner was a joy to sit in front of at the end of the day.Unfortunately there was also some disappointment at dogs not being allowed in the pub,The Red Lion,and whilst this has nothing to do with the cottage owners it is rather unusual and a first for me after visiting many Dales pubs over a number of years.Overall it was a great stay in a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of Gods county,Yorkshire,thankyou Judith and all at Sykes.

We thought parking maybe an issue, but we did not find it so.

There is no parking outside the cottage but just around the corner opposite the pub and locals are very nice and helpful. Cottage was as expected tho maybe smaller than previous ones we stayed in, but that said we where out every day so realy only slept and eat there. Its very romote and roads are narrow but worth taking your time for the views which are some of the best in UK! Being a bit picky a fixed shower rail would be nice over the bath as it kept falling down....not ideal if you have children.

We enjoyed our week at the Curlews, I did find though that I had to park our car on the main road to Reeth most nights which I did not really like, of course we may have just been unlucky not to find a space opposite the Red Lion pub.

The cottage had everything that we expected and required. We would stay there again.
