“Fabulous cottage in a lovely location”

We enjoyed a lovely week at Heron Cottage during a spell of particularly good weather. However even if the weather had not been up to much it would not have affected our enjoyment of staying in this wonderful holiday cottage.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Heron Cottage during a spell of particularly good weather. However even if the weather had not been up to much it would not have affected our enjoyment of staying in this wonderful holiday cottage. There is a very cosy woodburner in the comfortable lounge and the central heating worked well throughout the property. Heated towel rails were especially lovely in the two bathrooms. The large outdoor hot tub in the back garden was spotlessly clean and such a treat to enjoy on a nightly basis under the stars! My partner cooked a delicious steak meal for us one night and found everything he needed in the way of kitchen utensils and equipment. The only extra item which I will bring along next time is kitchen roll, but everything else was in position in the kitchen right down to salt and pepper and dishwasher tablets. The beds were comfortable and spacious and there was plenty storage throughout so we weren’t tripping over suitcases etc. On arrival there was a home made cake, loaf of bread, butter, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, Prosecco and a gorgeous bunch of daffodils to welcome us. Robes and slippers plus White company toiletries were provided. What thoughtful and lovely touches! We found the location of Heron cottage perfect as it was a ten minute walk to nearby pubs and shops in the pretty village of Addingham. From the cottage door, there is a very pleasant riverside wander along the Dales Way and I believe you can follow this all the way to Bolton Abbey, which we visited by car. Day trips out to Harrogate, Ilkley and Skipton are lovely ways to spend time out and about and RHS Harlow Carr gardens highly recommended too. What a well kept secret Olicana park is! We look forward to a return visit! Thank you so much Susie and co.

“The Heron was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”

Exactly as described with the lovely addition of a welcome pack of Bread, Milk Butter and cake and Prosecco. Nice garden with hot tub and a view to the stream at the side. Cosy and well equipped and very private. Would recommend.

Mr Kaczor July 2019

“The cottage is really comfortable, clean and up to date.”

It has been purpose equipped and not filled with cast off furniture. Ample parking and in a very pleasant location and is only 5 minutes stroll from the village. Didn't have to use the car most days as we were able to start most walks from the cottage.

- Mr Kaczor, July 2019
Mrs Dore June 2019

“The staff involved were friendly and helpful.”

Our only regret was we wished we had booked for longer as we didn’t get round to all the sights

Mr Carter June 2019

“Although it was clean there were a few bits that werent, there was a mouldy sweet under the coffee table and the freezer could have done with a clean out.”

There wasnt an iron until I went and asked if they supplied one, which apparently they did, but there wasnt one. The dyson didnt work so I couldnt clean the floors before I left, which I like to do, I did tell the owner about this. Also I feel that if you have paid for the property until 10am on your final day its unacceptable that they empty and clean the hot tub at 7.30 am!!!

Mr Herriott May 2019

“The cottage was perfect in every way and we were impressed that tea, coffee, bread etc were all to hand.”

The accommodation is in idyllic surroundings and Susie was more than helpful to ensure we enjoyed our visit. I'd recommend this holiday to any one. First class!

Ms Curry March 2019

“The cottage was idyllic with excellent welcome pack, fantastic wood burner and very comfy beds.”

Superb location with walking right from the door. The walks suggested were excellent, offering different distances for all abilities within the group. The hot tub was a great addition, which meant that there was something to do whatever the weather. The nearby cafe provided excellent coffee with friendly service after our walks. Addingham was a lovely village with excellent local pubs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mrs Swanton January 2019

“We stayed in Heron to celebrate our daughter’s 21st birthday and she described it as the best weekend ever!”

The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real bonus and much used (even though it was winter!). Susie and her family have done an amazing job transforming Olicana Park into what it is now. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Swanton, January 2019
Mr Fitzgerald January 2019

“What an amazing cottage.”

Beautiful location and so tastefully appointed. The hot tub was a hit too. Couldn’t have asked for more to enjoy our week in Yorkshire. The extra touches like home made brownies, milk, bread and Prosecco were so lovely and welcoming. Only a few extras: in the kitchen a wooden spoon and a small non stick pan would be helpful. Plus maybe a child lock for the under kitchen cupboard where chemicals are kept. But really all very little things.

- Mr Fitzgerald, January 2019
Mrs Nash November 2018

“Had a great week away here.”

Perfect location within easy reach of many attractions. Plenty of walks nearby to exercise the dog, and all within walking distance from the pub. We will definately be returning.

Mrs Lorimer September 2018

“Heron Cottage is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in since our first booking with Sykes in 2005.”

The standard of cleanliness, comfort and location are first class. We would highly recommend the cottage without hesitation and hope to return next year. The owner Susie and team work very hard to ensure everyone has a relaxing stay.

- Mrs Lorimer, September 2018
Mrs Longthorne September 2018

“Had a great holiday.”

The cottage was home from home. The beds were so comfortable and the hot tub eased our weary legs after a good days walking. Susie the owner and the staff were excellent, couldn’t do enough for us Would definately go again and explore more of Yorkshire

“Heron cottage”

We have returned from a wonderful week at Heron cottage. It is a beautifully ddecorated and very well equipped cottage. It's by the river Wharf, with gentle walks along the river on the doorstep. The hot tub was a big hit. As the previous comment noted, the cottage backs on to new lodges which are being built, along with a small cafe/ bistro just beyond the garden fence. These were unoccupied during our visit, but potential visitors to Heron ought to appreciate this isn't an isolated property miles from anywhere. If you like the buzz of a holiday park & the convenience of somewhere to eat over the garden fence ( and if the cafe reflects the standard of the cottage , which I'm sure it will) it's bound to be excellent, this is definitely a place to try. The Dales are captivating .

Ms Barrie July 2018

“The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well equipped.”

The location by the river allows for gentle walks along the captivating River Wharf. The cottage forms part of a small development of lodges, on the edge of a small caravan park. There is a small cafe/ bistro over the garden fence. The lodges were just being finished during our visit & were unoccupied. Once open, potential visitors should be aware that , although unlikely ever to be noisy and busy, there will be other holiday makers very near by.

“Wonderful place to stay - highly recommended”

We stayed in Heron 15-22 June and had a wonderful time. The cottage is a perfect balance - quiet, well-equipped, luxurious and great location! The owners are fabulous too, easy to contact and lovely people. Any requests or queries were dealt with so well. Wishing the owners all the bests with the new lodges (that we will come stay in soon hopefully). We can’t recommend this place highly enough, had such a lovely holiday. We stayed with our 3 year old daughter and labrador. Good walking nearby and a river for dog to swim in on the doorstep. Hot tub perfect to unwind at end of the day.

“Just superb in every respect.”

Mr Craig March 2018

“When booking you told us there MAY BE building work you did not tell us that the cottage was sat in the middle of a building site with LARGE HGV lorries passing every day and some days having 2 or 3 lorries in front of the cottage at the same time reversing in and out.”

Most mornings waken at 07.45 to chainsaws, beeping vehicles we have videos and photos Also your stock pictures are not accurate Hot tub maintenance man starting cleaning at approximately 09.10 we have a dog he left the gate open Limited cutlery

About the location

ADDINGHAM

Bolton Abbey 3 miles; Ilkley 3 miles; Skipton 4 miles.

The historic village of Addingham nestles in the valley of the River Wharfe between Ilkley and Skipton, just 3 miles from the Dales National Park at Bolton Abbey. In the Doomsday Book, Addingham is referred to as 'Ediham', which probably meant 'Home of Edi', the Earl Edwin of Bolton Abbey. A corn mill was mentioned in 1315, near where High Mill is today, and the weir across the river is one of the oldest medieval structures in the village. Today's village is a thriving, small community with several good pubs serving fine ale and excellent food, a scattering of small shops and a delightful golf course surrounded by breathtaking countryside. Nearby Bolton Abbey is one of the region's most scenic areas and the walk along the river to the 'Strid' is a must. The Victorian Spa town of Ilkley is worth a visit, with its wide streets, world-famous Box Tree Restaurant and Bettys Tea Rooms, while Ilkley Moor is the subject of Yorkshire's unofficial anthem “On Ilkla Moor Baht at”. Grassington and Malham are within reach, plus Skipton is also close by with its ancient castle, beautiful old parish church, colourful street market, canal trips and Embsay Steam Railway.
