  • "The Lodge is incredible, a beautiful building in a stunning location."

    It's beautifully decorated and very well equipped and the generous welcome basket means from the moment you arrive you are able to relax. Penny and John have thought of everything you would need to feel comfortable and enjoy your holiday. The location is peaceful and a great base for local walks and exploring the wider Dales. We would definitely recommend The Lodge as a holiday location and can't wait to go back.

    What a fabulous review! Thank you so much, Sarah. We really hope to see you all again soon. Property Owner

    The attention to detail in ensuring that comfort was assured, a welcome pack better than we have ever seen before, the equipment provided was of the best quality & more comprehensive than I have ever seen before in all the years I have embarked on cottage holidaying.

  • "What a fantastic find!"

    The best thing about this property are all the little extras and welcome treats such as wine, chocs, bottle of milk, fruit and flowers. Lots of attention to detail and our family loved using the jacuzzi bath. All rooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional style with a modern twist. The living room is super cosy and the view of the Dales out of the large window was fabulous. The bbq is excellent and large enough to cook six big steaks at once. Beds are comfy and the rooms are well ventilated and airy. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and the agar cooking range is an excellent feature. The washer/dryer is a good brand and very handy. Our only request would be to include a drying rack for clothes as soon walking trouser and tshirts can’t be put in a tumble dryer. We had some fantastic walks in kettlewell and Buckden-Cray-Hubberholme. We also walked along the river to Grassington. Thank you Penny and John for being the perfect hosts We will certainly be back!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback Russell, we are so glad you all enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to seeing you again. Point taken re the drying rack, thank you for the suggestion, we will certainly take it on board. :) Property Owner

    The owners are to be congratulated for the work they have done to The Lodge to make it the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. From well equipped kitchen and utility to well appointed bathrooms and tastefully decorated rooms to aid relaxation. However, it was outside for us that produced the biggest "WOW." The immediate countryside is stunning coupled with the local flora and fauna. Nearby villages provide all that is required. Will we be returning? Definitely.

    Thank you for the fantastic feedback Mark, it was lovely to meet you both. We are delighted that you had such a good stay and will look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

  • "Location, location location."

    We were the first people to stay in this newly-refurbished property and found the location to be superb. Within easy reach of Skipton and Grassington by car and with walks in both directions along the river Wharfe along the Dales Way towards Burnsall and Appletreewick (and the Craven Arms pub!). The views from the terrace and the sitting room are wonderful. Unfortunately we did not have good enough weather to enjoy the barbecue. The property is well-equipped and warm and the beds are supremely comfortable with high-quality linen. We hope to be able to return some day.

    What a shame the weather was so unpredictable. Glad you enjoyed the area though. Better luck next time. Property Owner
