“The cottage is small, as described, cosy and comfortable, provided you remember to duck going into and coming out of the kitchen!”

the double bed is very comfortble, but rather high, a small person might need a leg up to get in - but would have no trouble with low doorways ! A plentiiful supply of coal ensured we were warmed by the open fire during the chilly evenings. Excellent location for walking, sight seeing in Wensleydale and further afield. We know the area well, and have stayed in many self catering cotages over the years. We would certainly return to Storey's Cottage.

“Had a lovely time at Storeys Cottage.”

Very clean and comfortable. It’s in a beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales. Feel very relaxed.

Mrs Archer September 2020

“This cottage has a welcoming and comfortable feel to it but its facilities are basic with the shower and toilet being accessible through the kitchen.”

Note the shower head height is limited because of the low ceiling. The stairs are narrow and winding to the upstairs and the doorway into the kitchen is especially low. Also because of steps it is easy to bang your head if you are over 5'7" so be careful. No Wi Fi and mobile coverage is extremely limited. We had a very comfortable week in what is a cottage full of character with a coal fire and is in a beautiful village in easy reach of all the Yorkshire Dales for days out.

“We've just come back from a great stay at storeys cottage, a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting, 15 minute walk to the nearby pub and some fabulous walks on the doorstep.”

“Overall the area the cottage is in is fantastic and it is a great base to explore from, but the cottage is in clear need of freshening up.”

The facilities such as DVD player didn’t work well and lack of internet in an area with poor mobile reception was limiting. The decor was dark and tired. A bit of effort brightening the place up would make it a far more desirable rent. We are currently in honey bee in Staunton dale, and this would be a great example of a well done cottage for the owners of storeys cottage to come and see.

“The meadow/garden on details when we booked.”

was overgrown with nettles unusable.as we have an elderly dog the courtyard was not suitable.the mattress on the double bed was worn out springs very uncomfortable.cottage was musty smell we did not use any of the wardrobe or draws as our clothes would smelt.frying pan handle broken.would not return.needs TLC

- Mrs Neale, July 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the meadow garden is not for use of guests. Guests have use of the private patio area as advertised. The meadow garden is used for wild flowers and for wildlife to habitat, so this is why the garden is left untouched. We are sorry you feel the mattress was uncomfortable. The bed was checked and it found it had actually broke in the middle. A new mattress has now been purchased and bed fixed. We are sorry there was a musty smell in the property. The property is checked and thoroughly cleaned upon every change-over, but we will give the points you have raised extra attention. However, due to the property being built in the 1700's, the owner has decided to keep up with the exterior of the property and has inputted furniture inside that reflects the age of the property. We thank you again for your valued feedback. Sykes owner relations

“Good value cottage in a great location, its quite small but ok for 2.”

There is no dishwasher and no braodband but that is reflected in the price. Overall good place for the price I paid.

“It's a lovely little cottage in a beautiful part of yorkshire, no shops or pubs within a mile, plenty of walks and stunning views.”

- Mrs Swift, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the shop has closed down. The pub is approximately within 2 miles away from the property and the description has been amended to reflect this. Sykes owner relations

“On arrival we discovered the shower head leaked so badly that it couldn't be used.”

We were unable to have a proper shower all weekend. We tried to contact the owner but due to the location of the cottage there was no mobile signal so we couldn't get through. Surely if the shower had been properly cleaned before our arrival the broken shower would have been noticed and repaired/replaced. Also the sheets on the bunk beds didn't appear to have been changed as they were covered in hair --- possibly dog hair? This was a shame as it is a nice cosy cottage in a lovely location but given the price I paid I was disappointed that it hadn't been better maintained/cleaned.

- Mr Eastwood, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear that the shower head was leaking, we had only replaced this 3 weeks ago so can only assume it was faulty. This has now been replaced and is working fine. With relations to dog hairs on the bedding, this is not the standard we would expect and we have discussed this with the cleaners to ensure that the property is up to standard going forward. I appreciate signal is not great in the property but had you contacted when visiting the local areas we would have looked to address these issues for you. Thank you again for your feedback.

“It was in such a beautiful location.”

The cottage is cosy and has everything you need in it. Yes it is small but it’s a cottage - it’s meant to be! I felt right at home as soon as I walked in the door. It was close to some of my favourite locations in Yorkshire to visit. The walks from the cottage were fabulous! With stunning views and rolling hills as far as the eye could see. The local areas and pubs were amazing. We visited two and the staff were so friendly and the food/beer was delicious. I would definitely go back to stay in this funky little cottage. It’s been made into a real holiday home. It’s rustic and is full of love. Myself and my partner would love to go back!

“The bedrooms on the first floor were both comfortable and tastefully furnished.”

The downstairs living room was quite dark and the chairs and sofa were very uncomfortable,the decor was very tasteful,but as said earlier on the dark side.The open fire was very nice and even though it was late May,we lit the coal fire one evening and it was very nice and cosy.The kitchen was a lot smaller than it appeared in the pictures and was adequate,if only 1 person at a time was in there.The connecting passage between the living area and the kitchen was novel to say the least as it consisted of a small narrow passage and 3 steps,which was quite difficult to navigate and we were both of normal build and height.The shower/toilet was small,but suitable and the shower worked well giving a good supply of hot water.There was no facility for rubbish,apart from a small plastic bin in the small area next to the coal house.We were also a bit disappointed in the garden area opposite the cottage as it had been left to got to a mass of weeds and it could have been converted to a lawn area from where you could relax and enjoy the views over the valley.The small outside patio area was in a poor state of repair,which was a shame as it was a nice place to sit and enjoy breakfast in the sunshine.Overall we were quite satisfied with the cottage,but wouldn,t like to rent it over the autumn/winter months and if the garden area was reinstated as a lawn it would greatly improve the outside experience when the sun shines.

About the location

REDMIRE

Aysgarth 3 miles; Leyburn 4 miles.

The idyllic Wensleydale village of Redmire is situated in a walker’s paradise close to Castle Bolton, Leyburn and the famous Aysgarth Falls. Redmire is on the Wensleydale Railway, which features steam locomotives during the summer, and has regular special events. Castle Bolton, a mile away, is one of the finest preserved medieval castles in Yorkshire, and dates back to 1378. Much of the castle, with its mighty towers and rectangular courtyard, survived the orders to destroy famous Yorkshire castles issued by Parliament in the Civil War. Nearby Carperby was an important centre for Quakerism and the largest building today is the classically styled Friends Meeting House, which overlooks the market cross and village green. Redmire's village pub serves good food, and there is an excellent range of amenities in the nearby market town of Leyburn. What's more, Swaledale and Arkengarthdale are both easily accessible from Redmire.
