St Edmunds Cottages

Nestled in the peaceful village of Crakehall in the lower Yorkshire Dales, these cottages offer a serene destination for a relaxing break. From the outside, these pretty properties are aesthetically pleasing with stone frontages, window frames painted a tasteful mint green, and well-kept gardens with views over Bedale Beck. Inside, the cottages are a well-balanced mix of contemporary design and period features, with modern kitchens and bathrooms intermingling with exposed beams and original windows. The décor is neutral throughout with elegant splashes of colour complementing certain rooms. Despite the rural location, the properties are well connected with each offering WiFi and top-of-the-range Smart TVs. The village of Crakehall is regarded by many as one of the prettiest in the Yorkshire Dales, featuring a 5-acre green surrounded by Sycamore and lime trees, populated by stone-built cottages, some of which dating back as far as the 1600’s. It is split into two by a tributary of the River Swale, Bedale Beck, forming Little Crakehall and Great Crakehall. The complex of holiday cottages and their gardens overlook both the bridge and the beck, as well as the A684 road, which provides part of the Tour de Yorkshire route. The village is close to the market town of Bedale with its selection of shops and pubs, as well as museum and weekly market. If walking is more your thing there are plenty of picturesque walking routes in the vicinity, especially in the beautiful valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.

“We loved the welcome package of local produce.”

- Mrs Clark, April 2021
Mrs Dorrington May 2021

“Edmunds Cottage is overrated, it has been renovated well and has some lovely lamps , bed linen is good quality.”

Hot tub good but unsure it is emptied between visits as stated. Carpets and rug are filthy, large brown stain at the bottom of the stairs. Furniture needs replacing especially the cream settee. Bathroom needs a deep clean and flooring replaced. Smells of dogs which is strong in the morning. Heating needs sorting as goes off early evening and comes on as you go to bed. Looks superficially good and could be great with a bit of elbow grease and a carpet cleaner.

- Mrs Dorrington, May 2021
Miss Bailey May 2021

“Lovely little cottage in the most beautiful village.”

Everything was clean and tidy, great amenities. Bedale was a 5 minute drive away- an absolutely stunning town. Would definitely recommend!

- Miss Bailey, May 2021
Mr Fogg December 2020

“The cottage was cosy, warm and very lush.”

There was everything we needed just like home from home. Beautifully decorated throughout and an absolute joy to spend New Year there.

- Mr Fogg, December 2020
Miss Guinier December 2020

“Brilliant cottage for a relaxing week.”

Would definitely recommend!

- Miss Guinier, December 2020
Mrs Matthews September 2020

“A warm welcoming cottage, with everything that you need to enjoy a great break away.”

Such a lovely village, in great surroundings.

- Mrs Matthews, September 2020
Ms Barraclough August 2020

“A lovely comfortable cottage.”

The welcome pack of bread, butter, bacon, milk and biscuits was a nice touch. The only recommendation we would make would be a canopy over the hot tub so that it can be used in the rain.

- Ms Barraclough, August 2020
Mr Downing August 2020

“Mostly ok. Had issues with combi-boiler, went off a couple of times & had to be reset.”

No instructions anywhere for hot tub use which meant we had a whole evening without the use of our hot tub. Overall (apart from the above) it was a nice relaxing few days & we would definitely return.

- Mr Downing, August 2020
Mrs Ivanetic August 2020

“The cottage was fabulous, clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

Highlight for us was the privacy of the hot tub , also the adjacent cottages hot tub locations , well thought out during planning . There was no fixed parking for our cottage, however once the car was unpacked we found a suitable parking spot very close by . Perfect weekend away

- Mrs Ivanetic, August 2020
Miss Richardson July 2020

“Great cottage, has everything you need for a weekend away”

- Miss Richardson, July 2020
Miss Wild February 2020

“Me and my boyfriend had the best weekend here.”

The cottage was so cosy and had all facilities we needed. We loved the hot tub too! The only thing we would say is could the check out time be slightly later than 10am as we were rushing on the Sunday morning to get packed up. Overall a lovely weekend, we didn’t want it to end.

- Miss Wild, February 2020
Mrs Forshaw February 2020

“Lovely cottage, very cosy.”

Comfy beds and we had everything we needed. The hot tub was fab and always a great temperature. Just had one issue with the heating but it was sorted immediately. We would stay again.

- Mrs Forshaw, February 2020
Miss Holmes February 2020

“What a lovely little break away we had.”

All 4 of us really enjoyed staying in your beautiful little cottage. The welcome pack was a really lovely touch which enabled us to have a cup of tea upon arrival after a 4 hour journey! The cottage was warm and the hot tub was running ready for us. After reading through previous reviews and feedback, you can tell that the owners do look at this and take out the feedback as I have noticed that curtains have been put by the doors to exclude draughts and board games have been left in the cupboards. We will definitely be booking your wonderful little cottage again, a real gem. Loved every second and didn’t want to come home. Thank you for having us.

- Miss Holmes, February 2020
Mr Fletcher December 2019

“We really enjoyed our time at Edmunds Cottage.”

It was perfect for 4 of us staying there between Christmas and New Year, we especially enjoyed spending time in the cosy living room and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening! Great location, we would definitely stay again!

- Mr Fletcher, December 2019
Mr Zammit November 2019

“Love Edmunds Cottage.”

My dog Hugo and I had a wonderful week here and can't wait to come back.

- Mr Zammit, November 2019
Miss Pennington November 2019

“The fridge should close when you push it, drove me crazy when it beeped all the time.”

Few things missing from the kitchen like a colander and dish washer tablets, and a board game or two wouldn't have gone a miss. Nice to have Smart TV's in both rooms, and the hot tub was lovely. Little noisy from the road, but once you hear the jets on it was fine. Overall nice little cottage, we will be back.

- Miss Pennington, November 2019
Mr Lightbown October 2019

“Lovely cottage in a nice little village, the welcome pack was really nice cant fault!”

Maybe leave a pen with the visitors book as we unable to right a message as we didn’t have one

“Lovely weekend but...”

Me and my partner and another couple stayed here last weekend. It was a lovely place we had a fantastic weekend. Only a couple of issues... it was quite dusty, the giraffe on the living room wall was covered in dust and cobwebs, parking was an issue but can’t do anything about that due to the location of the cottage. Only a 2 min walk to the car outside the local pub which was fantastic aswell. Just a suggestion, for winter you might want to get the hot tub area with a corrugated roof and walls to stop the rain and eventually snow spoiling nights in the hot tub. If it had that then we would definitely book again for winter time. Only a £5 taxi to Bedale if it’s raining etc or can’t walk that far. Ask the landlord and the pub for taxi Keith and he will ring him for you.

Mr Robinson September 2019

“The cottage is lovely, tastefully decorated and the hot tub a bonus.”

It's a bit noisy being on a busy road but not too bad.

- Mr Robinson, September 2019
Mrs Hope August 2019

“The cottage was lovely and clean it had everything we needed , the welcome pack was also a lovely touch .”

The furniture and linen etc was of good quality . We will definitely be back to your charming little cute cottage ❤️

- Mrs Hope, August 2019
Mr Parish May 2019

“We had a lovely stay at Edmunds Cottage.”

We are a family of four and there was room for us all. We had a great weekend in the cottage. The cottage is beautiful and was a pleasure to stay in. The village is pretty, with a nice local pub for food and drink. Bedale is only 5 mins away. We visited local attractions and it was good to come back and chill in the cottage. The cottage is well equipped and cosy. We took our 8 month old cockerpoo, Maisey, who also enjoyed her stay. The garden is open so we kept Maisey on her lead. There are lots of walks close by, a park, rivers and open countryside to enjoy.

- Mr Parish, May 2019
Ms Macpherson May 2019

“Cute cottage in pretty village very comfy beds,main sofa very creaky, good televisions and access to netflix great.”

Great situation for access to M1 and surrounding area downside not noticed noisy road siituation and no easy access for unloading car and packing.

- Ms Macpherson, May 2019
ChristineB4918 May 2019

“Not a true rating by Sykes Cottage”

Sykes gave this cottage a five star rating but we found it lacked certain essentials - table mats, coasters, shortage of some cutlery, curtains at doors to stop draughts. The second bedroom although comfortable was extremely cramped and it was difficult to move around. The very busy main road made it impossible to sit outside and was a nuisance at night. The lack of parking was also an inconvenience especially on arrival. On the plus side the decor was high class and the beds and bed linen very good

- ChristineB4918, May 2019
Mrs Mansfield April 2019

“Holiday was lovely beautiful area and local people very friendly.”

Definitely go back

- Mrs Mansfield, April 2019
Miss Liversage March 2019

“Cottage was decorated and furnished to a high standard, excellent facilities and well thought through.”

The welcome basket was a huge plus and a great touch. The cottage felt very homely which was nice. Village was nice and quiet and local pub was great. The only minor downside is the listing states that one well behaved pet was welcome. We took our 11 month old cocker spaniel and the garden wasn’t enclosed so he could access the neighbouring cottage gardens which were occupied. There were also gaps in the bushes where he could get to the road which meant we couldn’t let him out at all. In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a huge problem but just a note for future guests. Other than that very minor thing had a great time and we came home engaged! Thank you for a lovely stay - we will be back.

- Miss Liversage, March 2019
Mr Broadhurst March 2019

“Parking is a short walk from the property, but safe.”

The village pub is a short walk and very friendly with good food and ale. We ate there both nights.

- Mr Broadhurst, March 2019
Mrs Gibson January 2019

“This property is not suitable in the winter time.”

The cottage was extremely drafty due to the gaps under the doors. It had been noted in the visitors book that previous clients had also experienced this problem in October. The fire needs new bulbs and the hand rail at the top of the stairs is unsuitable for people who have stability issues. Parking is on a first come first serve basis and there is only room for 2 cars. We had to park 100 yards next to the pub. This was inconvenient due to my husband's disability. This cottage is clean, modern and comfortable.

- Mrs Gibson, January 2019
Mr Tipton December 2018

“Entrance door sticks - needs to be fixed.”

Also, it's not weatherproof - cold air draughts around obvious gaps - again needs to be fixed. NO HEATING on when we arrived - thermostat set at 9°C only, not good given our arrival anticipated, and on a cold winter day - I've reset thermostat now to keep us constantly warm. Other entrance door (hid by Xmas tree) is as bad as main one for ill-fitting and draughts - the place is not "maintained to high standard" at all... Bathroom would be greatly improved by more and brighter lighting, larger and wall-mounted mirror, heated towel rail, and an extractor fan. It's a shame that Edmunds Cottage was lacking in all of the ways I've mentioned, because such improvements would greatly enhance comfort (particularly at this time of the year), shouldn't be costly to complete, and would enable me to give 5-star review, given all of its obvious charms otherwise.

- Mr Tipton, December 2018
Mrs Quastorelli November 2018

“Very nice cottage in a lovely village - Comfortable, tidy and clean - Dog ...”

Very nice cottage in a lovely village - Comfortable, tidy and clean - Dog friendly - Plenty to explore in the area - 5 min access of the A1 - Thoroughly enjoyed our break

Mr Alvis June 2018

“The photos on your website are accurate, but they don't make clear you can't see it from the road.”

To be fair I did get an email with more directions but I was actually driving to the cottage at the time so missed it. Please can you sort out the fridge door. It bleeps to tell you it's open but the catch has failed and it bleeps incessantly. As there isn't a kitchen door this did affect the whole downstairs. Also it was disappointing to be told when booking there was some on site parking, and then went an update a couple of weeks later that there wasn't. I will say that the cottage was clean and well appointed. There were some old dvds and cigarette papers on the top shelf of the wardrobe in the master bedroom. Perhaps your cleaner couldn't see them!

- Mr Alvis, June 2018
Ms Biscoe June 2018

“This cottage is right in the village and only a two minute walk to the good local pub.”

It’s a recently renovated property, in a small complex of other rentals and was very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and modern and we had a lovely welcome hamper of some essentials. We were sent good directions by the owner prior to arrival but the parking was a bit of a pain as had to leave the car across the surprisingly busy road, if we could get a space, or further up the road in the village. Even though we directed not to park by the cottage gates, we did note that some cottages appeared to park there? The little garden had a picnic table to sit out of an evening or with a cup of tea in the morning, the only downside is it is overlooking the busy road through the town. The bedrooms were well appointed with good clean bedding and large wardrobes and drawer units for clothing. We found the bed itself was a little hard and resorted to sleeping on top of the quilt from the second bed to make it more comfortable. There was a second TV in the main bedroom, a DVD player and a hairdryer. The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water for showers or baths. Some of the sash windows need catches to be fitted to enable them to be kept open, (we used an old book or a shampoo bottle). Overall we enjoyed our stay at this small little cottage, and it was great that we could bring out dog with us.

- Ms Biscoe, June 2018
Mr Jordan June 2018

“Cottage was booked with off road parking; on arrival told had to park up in the village.”

also booked as peaceful and tranquil but it is right by a very busy A.684,We were there on hottest week of the year and the windows don't open. overall disappointing.

- Mr Jordan, June 2018
Mrs Rendle May 2018

“We had a really enjoyable stay at Edmunds Cottage.”

The cottage itself is very nicely furnished to a high standard and all the little touches made it so much more a true home from home.
