  • "Lovely period property with beautiful surroundings."

    Private hot tub was well used and a key feature when booking for our party of eight women for a relaxing weekend away . The only downside, taking into account the need for 8 to get ready on a morning, was the noticeable lack of mirrors in bedrooms! The room that did have mirrors did not have one near a socket for use of a hairdryer.

  • "We were a family of 8 including 3 children."

    We requested a stair gate which was fixed on when we arrived. The cottage was warm and cosy The hot tub was excellent- not too chemically and lovely and hot. Nice welcome pack with bread, milk etc and tea and coffee. The dishwasher was not working despite being new. They came out on Sunday to fix this. The smallest bedroom was chilly. Beware of low ceilings but this is because it is a cottage. Great location and great village with parks and walks. Visited Forbidden Corner and local waterfalls which were excellent. I would recommend St Edmond House and would visit again

  • "Lovely spacious house in a great location for accessing the Yorkshire Dales."

    Very noisy main road to front of house which is clearly the transport route for articulated lorries travelling to and from the quarries. This did not detract from the lovely facilities in the accommodation but is worth noting for families with young children as you cannot open the front door and allow them onto the driveway without careful supervision. Rear of property is lovely and the hot tub area a bonus.

  • "The surrounding area is pleasant, with local amenities within driving distance."

    There is a petrol station and a pub within walking distance but these were not especially well stocked. There was only enough firewood supplied for one night, which was disappointing given the price per night. The property otherwise had sufficient provisions - including a welcome hamper - which was a nice touch. The hottub is a highlight, located in a small private yard. The property was comfortable but in need of a deep clean and some TLC, again, given the price per night. The ceiling light in the dining room has small glass droplets and when someone is in the bedroom above it causes them a shake which became annoying very quickly. The property is situated next to a busy road with agricultural vehicles etc. passing frequently. This was not a huge problem for us, but could be for lighter sleepers.

    Parking is an issue but understand that cant be helped due to location. Loved the welcome pack which was much appreciated. Would book again Thank you Sandra and friends

  • "We had a super break 5 ladies in a comfy, cosy cottage."

    We loved the hot tub, and to sit chatting in the lounge. Beds and bedding were brilliant, all equipment needed in the kitchen and a great location for walks including a pub a few dogs down. A cute little garden for the warmer months. Our only points would be the main bathroom could have been cleaner, especially the toilet upon arrival. The dishwasher didn't work which we realised once full. I did send a message to number given but no reply. On lighting the fire it just filled the room with smoke so guessing the chimney needs cleaning. A smart t.v for when the weather is bad would also have been helpful. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  • "Stayed with friends to celebrate a birthday."

    The house was very quirky and clean. The garden was shared but as the other cottages were empty so we had the garden to ourselves. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed, it was also in the centre of the village and close to the local pub. We would definitely return again

    Thanks Adrienne, really pleased you enjoyed your stay and love Edmunds House and it's quirkiness as much as we do! Property Owner

  • "St Edmunds is a lovely, cosy cottage."

    Well furnished, comfortable beds and everything you need. It is in a convenient spot for many of North Yorkshire’s attractions - don’t miss Fountains Abbey and the Forbidden Corner! It is however on a very busy main road, so I think in the Summer, when you want windows open, it would be rather noisy. There is no safe outside space for children or dogs, the shared grassy area is directly in front of the other cottages.

  • "Fabulous cottage, lovely and spacious with great character."

    The facilities and hot tub are excellent. We went as a group of 8 and there was plenty of kitchen utensils. It is on a main road but not too much traffic, so it is not too noisy. We loved our stay.

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.
