• "The house is in a fantastic location with wonderful views all around plus extensive grounds which are delightful."

  Penny and John certainly provide a comprehensive package, with a well stocked kitchen, all you need and fresh eggs from their chickens. We look to go away once a year as a family and this certainly was one of the best properties we have stayed in. There are plenty of walks directly from the house and a couple of pubs within an easy walk, so the cars can stay put. We will definitely be back.

  Thank you for your lovely comments, Ian. We would love to welcome you all back anytime. Property Owner

  The sharp knives were very welcome. They were unobtrusive, but also fully supportive if contact was made with them, and their attention to detail shone throughout our stay. Very nice property well maintained and equipped for our needs. All in all we had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Thank you Penny and John.

• "We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay at Kail House."

  We all loved the house, gardens and views. Loads of space for us all to share and great facilities. The cottage has everything we could have wished for and many extra touches which made our stay just that much easier. Great walks straight from the house too and easy day trips to various Dales towns. Thank you.

• "An absolute hidden gem!"

  We booked a family trip to Kail House and weren’t disappointed. Beautiful house in lovely grounds, friendly owners who didn’t intrude at all. Lots of special little touches which were very much appreciated. Plenty space for 6 of us to have our own space if needed or to get together as a family. Nice walks in surrounding countryside and a great river walk. A couple of local pubs within a mile and other villages also not far. This is a rural location, so if it’s peace and quiet you’re after you’re in luck. You could sit all day and be entertained by the birds, chickens and cats, all within the grounds.

  Thank you for your lovely review, Jane. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "The property is part of a larger building, Hartlington Hall, but Kail House is self contained with front and rear access, the latter leads to the large car park area and the beautiful extensive gardens."

  The interior is spacious and well stocked with all ones needs. The welcoming pack of food and drink was unexpected but very much appreciated. The kitchen is spacious with all the requirements for our stay, with a breakfast table, duplicated with an outside table. A wonderful house set in a wonderful location.

  Thank you for your lovely review, Trevor. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and that you got the chance to enjoy the gardens. Property Owner

  We were greeted by Jenny who made us feel so welcome. The extras that were provided made us feel so special. The property was immaculate and everything that was needed to make our stay luxurious was provided. The wildlife and grounds were wonderful and we were so happy just sitting in the lovely conservatory or on the patio watching it all. It was a truly relaxing holiday in 1st class accommodation.

• "What an amazing, spacious, characterful house."

  Beautifully appointed and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed. We didn’t need to have taken any of the little extras we packed. So many special touches that made us feel very welcomed. I won’t spoil it for future guests, as it would make this a very long review. Needless to say you won’t be disappointed. The friendly Penny greeted us on arrival, then left us to get on with our break; although living on site we didn’t see her again until she came to say “Goodbye” Extensive gardens to stroll around at leisure. So peaceful just sitting enjoying the wildlife. All six of us were thoroughly impressed. We all enjoyed our break and left refreshed and relaxed. Perfect location for us in our favourite Yorkshire dale. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property, and providing all the little extras. Steph, Mick, Dave, Carol, Ivan and Sarah xx

  Thank you so much, Steph. It was an absolute pleasure to have you all stay, and we are so glad you all got to have the relaxing break you deserved. We hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner

  My wife was particularly taken with the conservatory where she spent a relaxing time watching the local wildlife. She was so inspired by it that she bought a bird feeder on returning home.

• "Kial House is superb."

  The quality of the kitchen is excellent and all the fittings and equipment throughout the house are high spec and so well thought out. We loved the garden, the birds the outstanding views. The area is beautiful; the pubs were from a bygone age, places where people talked to each other and offered food that was wholesome and delicious. The walks along the River Wharfe. Skipton and the canal. And Kial House to return to for relaxation at the end of the day. We will most definitely return.

• "We felt really lucky that we'd found this gem of a holiday home for our family get-together, meeting in the middle between London and Glasgow."

  The house was beautifully furnished with care and attention to the smallest detail. The vase of flowers, the large fruit bowl, bottle of wine and essentials were very welcome and set the tone for a wonderful week. Our baby granddaughter loved watching the birds feeding, the cats mooching around and the hens clucking. Penny was super generous - we even came away with some of her foxgloves ("they grow like weeds here") for our garden... a perfect reminder of our time there. The photos and online description cannot do it justice. And it really is God's Own Country. Thanks to Penny and John.

  But it is the setting which makes it special, in a sheltered but sunny spot with access to lovely gardens and, not least, a bluebell wood. And there is so much to do in the area that you hardly need to move. Highly recommended.

  One could readily immerse oneself in the views, location and atmosphere of the house and even without leaving the property be touched by nature.

• "An outstanding property in an idyllic location with spectacular views."

  We were lucky enough to be the first ever guests at this exceptional property and we cannot thank John and Penny enough for their friendly, warm welcome. This spacious home from home is spotless and tastefully decorated to a very high standard; there’s everything you need for a cosy, restful, relaxing stay. The huge kitchen is extremely well equipped and arriving late at night we particularly appreciated the welcome pack provided. The bedrooms were very comfortable and well furnished, and the blackout blinds meant we slept soundly. The house is set in a beautiful garden with breath-taking views and is ideally placed for walking and whiling away the hours enjoying a tasty lunch or drink in one of the local cafes and pubs. Our mornings were spent lazing in the conservatory, which is the perfect spot for bird watching. We were lucky enough to spot a woodpecker and were entertained by the antics of the pheasants, chickens and cats. Afternoons were spent exploring some of the many walks in the area. We enjoyed taking in the scenic meandering river routes to Grassington and Appletreewick followed by a well deserved drink in one of the local pubs. And after all that fresh air we returned in the evenings to the warmth of a log fire in the lounge which had a great range of DVDs, books and games to keep us entertained. We have had the most relaxing holiday and look forward to returning. John and Penny have put a lot of love, care and thought into making Kail House the perfect retreat. We would highly recommend this exceptional property.

  Thank you so much for such fantastic feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay here. I don't think we could have had a lovelier family as our first ever guests and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Property Owner
