  • "Lovely property and very well equipped with everything you need to make this a home from home."

    The village has lots of great walks nearby and both village pubs are highly recommended. Only complaint is the heating being controlled remotely, we have stayed in the cottage in summer before when this was not a problem, however we found it to be too cold for us with the heating only coming on twice a day in the winter. It would be better of the guest were the one controlling the heat levels, this did mean we got to make good use out of the excellent log burner.

    Thanks for your feedback Katy, we are glad you enjoyed your stay, got to explore the area again and made full use of the log burner for which we always ensure there is plenty of wood. Please be assured that guests can fully take control of both the oil and electric radiators. They are controlled by us, on a timer, when the cottage is empty but this can be overridden. We would have changed the timer for the heating be on a lot longer if we had known that you did not have control so we are sorry to hear that you were cold at times but hope that the burner helped with that.

  • "Excellent! Possibly the best equipped and cleanest self catering accommodation we've ever rented!"

    From the first email to the short call to resolve a query the owners have been as communicative and helpful as possible. We will not only recommend this cottage but Sykes as well. The only niggle is the height of the final set into the property, it was a bit challenging for my wife who had a knee replacement 3 months ago. However this did not is anyway detract form our overall satisfaction with the cottage.

    It is sweet and charming and had all that you need plus extra homely touches like a made up fire reqdy to light and welcome biscuits and wine. We were able to check out late and our overall stay was super. We'd love to return.

  • "A comfortable well equipped cottage near a friendly pub."

    Village shop is only open half days but Leyburn with a wide range of shops and places to eat is only 4 miles. Great area for walking.

  • "Hope Cottage offers very comfortable accommodation which is well situated for walking, cycling and touring in Wensleydale."

    It is possible to walk up Penhill directly from the property. The kitchen is well equipped. It was slightly odd to have some of the heating remotely controlled, though Sharon quickly adjusted it when we emailed. Parking (opposite the property) looks as though it could be a problem, but isn't. The A684 carries very little traffic after 7pm. The bike shed only really had room for one bike and could only be accessed via the house so my bike had to wheeled or carried through the hall and sitting room whenever I wanted to use it.

  • "Fantastic cottage in great location."

    The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Stairs are a bit steep to second bedroom and bathroom but was okay for us. The fox and hound serves food until 8.45pm so if you fancy unwinding with no cooking or driving then you’ve got everything on you’re doorstep. There’s a lovely private terrace at the rear but we didn’t get chance to sit out there.

    Everything you need in the cottage to make it feel like home from home. Local pub along the road was great for a drink after a day of walking and sightseeing. Would recommend Forbidden Corner (kids or no kids!) Middleham Castle and Thorp Perrow. Leyburn is also great and just a short drive away. Wonderful stay. Thank you!

  • "Great location for exploring the Dales."

    Pub, restaurant and village shop just a short walk away. Lovely walks locally. No need to take the car. Parking can be an issue. The cottage is on a main road and while parking is permitted, it is quite a narrow road and not well lit at night. Parking is available in a side street, nearest location about 120 yards away.

    Loads of wonderful places to visit locally including castles, waterfalls and lovely villages. Make sure you visit Richmondshire Museum in Richmond - and Duncan's Tearoom: ask for a left handed pastry fork! And visit Campbell's in Leyburn for your shopping - amazing supermarket packed with local produce and more Yorkshire tea varieties than you've ever seen! Wonderful base to explore the region - will definitely visit again.

The property

A stone-built cottage located in the heart of West Witton, appreciated for its countryside surroundings and the notable Bolton Castle.

Providing guests with a wonderful holiday experience, this unique retreat is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, offering you the best of the village charm.

The ground floor is home to a comfortable lounge, complemented by leather sofas, a characterful woodburner and ceiling beams for a hint of tradition.

Cosy up amongst it all, or spend some time enjoying the modernised kitchen, complete with cream-coloured units and a contemporary overtone, elevated by a range of essentials to ensure a leisurely stay.

For a peaceful night’s sleep, the twin bedroom makes an excellent choice, whilst the next floor houses a king-size bed wrapped in a more neutral design.

A wonderful family bathroom finishes the accommodation; an all-white suite with a bath and overhead shower.

The local pubs are only a short stroll away should you wish to pay a visit, followed by an hour or two in the enclosed yard, with its own patio area.

West Witton enjoys dramatic views of Penhill and its limestone scars, along with lush rolling countryside and the neighbouring fells.

Leyburn, with its wide range of amenities and weekly market makes a lovely day out, and Middleham which boasts Norman Castle, famous racing stables and a pretty old market square is just as promising.

A delightful base to explore the Yorkshire Dales.
