  • "When leaving the property I stripped the bed."

    The pillow and mattress protectors were badly stained (not by us!). Very disappointing as the cleaner lady was outside and when I mentioned it she said she had noticed it when she made the bed up for our arrival!

    Thank you for your feedback. It is very important to us. I sincerely apologise and want to assure the guest, and any future guests, that this will not happen again. Our standards of cleanliness are normally very high, so we will be taking extra care from now on. We want all our guests to have a great holiday experience. Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage - great location (loads of walks from the door), very comfortable and very well equipped for the size."

    Only comment, you need to make sure at the kitchen window can be opened - otherwise the kitchen is going to deteriorate very quickly with damp, which would be real shame. Also could have some information on more local amenities - the mobile fish and chip van (arrived Tues & Fri evening just at the top of the street) and the cafe in Botton Village (Camphill Community) made a good walk.

  • "A beautifully presented cottage with everything you might need, such attention to detail."

    A very picturesque location and so peaceful with many lovely walks without having to go far.

  • "Very compact, but beautifully finished and presented."

    We had no complaints about its cleanliness when we arrived but when we did our farewell clean through there were a couple of points that made us wonder whether the cleaner is assiduous as should be, so marked it down a bit. It's so easy to clean it would be tempting to skimp. It was a warm week, without being brilliantly sunny like most of England. Nevertheless the central heating, which was programmed to be on, made the cottage too warm at night and we turned it off. The cottage info sheet correctly informs bin collection is on Monday, but the blue recycling bin was not collected that day. When is it collected? This should be added to info.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cottage. We now have a new cleaner for the property. Regarding your comment about the bins, the blue bin and green bin collections alternate weekly, but following your feedback we will add some more information explaining this. We hope to see you again soon Property Owner

    It has been lovingly restored by the owners who provided slippers for us to use indoors. The location is in a picturesque part of the Yorkshire Moors and is a great base to explore further afield.

    We had a bottle of wine and biscuits left for us , a thoughtful touch. It was situated in the lovely village of Castleton with great walks only a short drive away. There was a lovely neighbour . He was very knowledgable about the area and gave lots of useful information.
