10 Old School Close

This was a fantastic little property which was very well maintained and spotlessly clean was absolutely ideal for our stay in the Dales.

Had a fantastic week in this very well equipped and comfortable cottage.

We stayed during the heat wave, but fortunately there was fan Loads of local walks and made the most of the ones down to the river, to cool our dog down Good local pub and shop As we were limited to what we could do due to the heatwave , but we will be retuning in September and have already booked the cottage again , so I think that says it all.

Lovely cottage presented immaculately.

Enjoyed our time there. Had a few minor issues. We travelled in the early hours of Saturday rather than Friday. The cottage was extremely cold, no heating on until Saturday evening although we did find an electric radiator in the bedroom storeroom which we utilised in the lounge. The bathroom towel rail never worked so the bathroom was cold. The sofa in the lounge was very low which we found difficult to get up from due to our age. Younger people would find it good. All in all though we had an enjoyable 6 days and would still recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the Dales.

We were very impressed with the cottage and it's equipment.

Really great to have a proper open fire though a steel bucket for ash would be useful, we bring our own but the last night ashes prove awkward and have to be left in grate or outside on floor. We had a leak in the main bathroom so could not use upstairs loo Friday to Tuesday, and thus had to keep going downstairs at night not good with old legs Owner worked hard to get a plumber in over a weekend and should be praised for their efforts, despite this setback we really enjoyed ourselves and want to book again soon.

A great cottage, which gives you access to all the beautiful locations around The Dales.

The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, from dog blankets to a tumble dryer. It’s clean welcoming and the open fire is great for cosy nights in. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to friends and family.

It would have been helpful to have had spare toilet rolls, ( we had to buy some).

The provision of a hand towel and a toilet brush in the downstairs toilet would also have been helpful. The rope handrail up the stairs looked very stylish but was not as helpful as a more traditional one would have been. On the plus side the property was warm, comfortable and well kept. In an excellent location. The welcome pack was very well put together.

Very Happy with the accommodation overall.

The only small items that could do with renewal are the kitchen washing up bowl and the shower mat. This is not a criticism the cottage is very homely.

lovely property will certainly return.

Great location for touring the upper Dales and for local pubs etc.

very clean and comfortable. We will be back!

Beautiful cottage very well kept every facility.

Only problem being the bed in the second bedroom as being too soft and two singles pushed together not comfortable for an adult

Owner has thought of everything the guest might need (including doggy bags!

). Comfort in all respects.very well equipped. Situated in the heart of Wensleydale and convenient for visits to all its stunning little villages and scenery. Couldn't have been better.

Lovely house in a quiet location.

Beautifully clean and fresh, it has everything you would need for a stay away. Well placed to travel to nearby attractions and towns.

Lovely stay in a great cottage - very clean and comfortable, tastefully decorated with a very well equipped kitchen - don't often find an air fryer in holiday accommodation!

Location was great with some very scenic walks right on the doorstep. Visited both the village pubs and enjoyed both meals and beer. Weather was ideal for walking so, all in all, a perfect stay and I would definitely recommend the accommodation.

A lovely cottage to stay in , very clean and never stayed in a Sykes cottage where literally everything has beer thought of from plasters to an air fryer, dog poo bags to a wonderful cupboard full of games and great walking books and information from the owners on where to go , eat out etc!

Really had a great time staying there , thanks very much.

This was a very comfortable stay once the heating was sorted out.

The owners were very helpful.Lovely hot shower and beds very comfortable.The top kitchen drawer tends to fall off its runners as it is overloaded.A bit of a nuisance and needs attention but didn’t spoil the holiday! One small note;the description on the website mentions a washing machine and tumble dryer,neither of which exist.No problem for us but may need updating on the description. The stay was wonderfully relaxing and peaceful and the village is very friendly.

The cottage was lovely and was very well equipped.

It was also in a good location for walks. The area was very quiet which is what we look for in a holiday. There where two places to eat out. The Fox and the Wensleydale Heffer. The Fox is great for beer and hearty food the Heffer is expensive but worth one visit at least.

Brilliant, everthing that you would want, although we didn't find the chair and soffa very comfortable.

Would stay again but only if the chair and soffa were changed for one much more comfortable

Lovely cottage, one of the best we have stayed in, will definitely book again.

Excellent value for money and having own parking and garage was a bonus.

Our second stay at this property was just as good as last time .

Great little village with lovely walks without needing the car. We would definitely return to this property again in the near future. Beautiful place to stay, very friendly people in the village, the fish and chip van on a Thursday evening was very welcome and greatly enjoyed by us both. Thank you letting us stay in your lovely cottage.

Had a wonderful Stay in West Witton!

Quiet Close and comfortable bed. The rain water shower head In the bathroom was a lovely bonus. Perfectly placed to explore lovely Yorkshire. My Wife,myself and our little cockapoo cannot recommend this place enough!

The cottage was lovely clean, welcoming, and warm.

Smelled lovely throughout. Had pretty much everything you could need, and some things we didn't expect, like the throws in the living room. Wouldn't recommend the stairs for anyone with mobility issues as the rope handrail is not really supportive, but that will only affect the minority of people. The village is really friendly. Village shop (which has new extended opening hours) has all the basics and Leyburn is just a short drive for everything else. Excellent location for exploring the Dales. Fox pub is great for a drink and recommend the Three Horseshoes, and the Thursday night chip van that stops outside the Fox - arrival times on their website (welcome pack just says check out their Instagram, so we nearly missed it as we don't have Instagram). We stay self catering in the UK every year, and this has been one of our favourites so far of the last couple of decades. Would have gladly stayed longer, and will look forward to coming back at some point. Info for owners: The drawers in the kitchen are a little wonky- when you open the second one, the top one dips and has to be lifted to shut the second one properly. Just needs some attention to the runners. A loo brush in the downstairs loo would be a good addition.

We had a lovely relaxing stay thank you.

The cottage was clean and presented well. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The bed was big and comfortable. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

A very enjoyable week in the Dales.

Property was quiet, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Location was excellent for exploring Wensleydale and the wider area. Excellent pub and pub/restaurant in the village. Would be happy to use again.

When we arrived the cleaners had not been informed we were arriving.

Consequently the beds had not been change, there was leftover food in the fridge. The cleaners arrived the next day and sorted everything, could not fault them. The cottage itself was excellent and the facilities were great. We feel the error was the booking agent who did not inform the cleaners.

Perfect location for touring the area.

Lots to see and do. Cottage well equipped with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. Location very quiet. Can highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the area.

The property is very lovely & quiet.

Perfect location for our plans. I couldn't fault the cleanliness and standard. The hose pipe to clean muddy paws was a real help and certainly should be added to the information as this would have been a definite selling point for us. We very much enjoyed our stay and I would definitely book again. I would bring my own pillows, we are all different. Thank you.

Lovely holiday home which was warm & very comfortable.

The air fryer in the kitchen was an added bonus. We had an initial glitch with the heating & this was very promptly sorted by the owners. Very happy to recommend staying here.

Beds very comfy the new shower was OK but water tends to spray off the end and wet round the bottom of the toilet but that's a minor issue didn't spoil our stay

Very comfortable cottage with plenty of space in the main bedroom and the living area.

Kitchen well-appointed and the outside spaces are pretty, though small. The area is very good for walking and most places are very dog-friendly, you can generally eat in, in the bar in pubs etc.

Enjoy stay, no problem, and everything was there what you needed.

Clean and warm . Hope to come again.

Could not find anything to complain about, a perfect holiday cottage.

Lovely little house has everything you need.

Parking ok for 1 large car. Nice village and good base for visiting some lovely sites

Was a lovely and clean cottage, quiet location and very friendly people in the village.

Had everything we needed in the cottage , comfy beds too. Would come again for sure.

Arrived to find a welcoming property that was very clean, light and airy.

The accommodation was very comfortable and provided an excellent base as I was undertaking a course nearby for a few days and then spending some time rediscovering the local area - the absolutely delightful Wensleydale. Its location was superb for such exploration including local walks from West Witton as well as places only a short drive away. It was great that the cottage had off-street parking. It was situated in a quiet cul-de-sac but with easy access to the main road along the Dale. I had one question of the owner who was very friendly and helpful when contacted. For anyone with bikes or equipment there's a garage for this, although I didn't require this on this occasion. I would definitely stop there again.

A lovely cottage in a good location.

The cottage had everything you needed for your stay. I would be happy to revisit. A smaller casserole dish would be nice when you are only cooking for two people. A larger mat that did not move inside the front door would help to keep the area cleaner.

We had a brilliant time.

It was very cosy.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Excellent location with lots of walks from the village as well as easy access to tge beautiful Wensleydale valley.

The cleanest and freshest cottage we have stayed in.

Nicely situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just off the main road. Rear patio area is a completely private sun trap. Only three to four minutes walk to both the village pubs. Well located for travelling around Wensleydale and further afield. The attractive town of Leyburn, with its extensive amenities is only four miles distant.

Lovely clean cottage with everything you needed.

Ideally situated to explore the Dales , village shop and pub very friendly .

Very clean, comfortable, everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing stay.

Happy it was away from the busy road.

Overall excellent and comfortable cottage thank you

Great stay with everything you could need.

Lovely location with lots if walks nearby.

We had a lovely stay in this cosy and quiet cottage in West Witton which had everything we needed - we would recommend it.

We would also recommend West Witton as a location - did several lovely walks from the front door and the village shop is good with friendly and helpful owners. The local bus service can take you up and down the dale.

Excellent little cottage with all required amenities in place for a comfortable stay.

The welcome pack is nicely compiled, packed with all necessary and useful information. Location of the cottage is great, ideal for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire! Couple of suggestions for the information pack - 1. Include opening hours of the village convenience store 2. Mention that the Thursday Chippy van stops in from of the pub

This was a lovely cottage for the two of us.

I think it is more suitable for two rather than four occupants. On arrival the cottage was spotlessly clean. Some lovely walks from the doorstep. We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday in a lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and very comfortable.

Lovely views all round and excellent walks, waterfalls and breathtaking scenery wherever you go. We had a great holiday at Old School House.

The accommodation was very comfortable for my husband, spaniel and I .

There were many beautiful walks in West Witton and beyond from the doorstep. Can’t fault it .

Cottage was lovely very comfortable I have only marked down as mattress on single bed too soft but that isa personal preference.

Covid 19 instructions for leaving clear but could not find the bags too place linen in but this is only a minor issue and we are all still adjusting to the Covid requirements. Overall the cottage was great, position for accessing walks locally was brilliant, village of West Witton very nice and a good pint served in the Fox and Hounds.

I highly recommend this cottage and area for a stay in the Yorkshire Dales.

The cottage is homely and very comfortable. West Witton is idyllic and in a location ideal to travel to many other villages and historical places around the Dales. I wrote a diary of what we did during our week away which may give you some ideas for places to go - https://scottpendlebury.co.uk/2020-09-18-travel_diary_yorkshire_dales

Excellent information provided about the local amenities and places to visit would definitely recommend

West Witton is a lovely village and everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful walking country. The cottage was warm and comfortable and a lovely Christmas hamper was provided.

Thoroughly pleasant cottage, in a friendly village.

very lovely cottage and very clean

This is a lovely cottage set in a friendly village.

Great walks straight from the door so easy to take the dog and children out. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the open fire. Lots to do in the area which made our holiday fun and relaxing.

Owner and staff very helpful and accommodating.

A clean, comfortable and cosy cottage. Peaceful and central location for exploring the dales.

Not really.

It was a delightful cottage in a lovely village in the glorious Yorkshire Dales.

Fabulous cottage that had everything we could have needed and more besides.

. Difficult to decide whether to stay in and relax in cottage or go out and about in the glorious dales.. We did both in the end!!! Amazingly clean, and spider free for those who have a spider phobia!!! Didn't want to leave, would recommend this cottage 100%.

Very well presented cottage and ideally situated for us to explore The Yorkshire dales and more, cottage was cozy and comfortable, we will return

The only and very minor negative was that there was no recycling bin at the cottage; we understand there should have been.

Hence, we accumulated quite a lot to take home with us.

Lounge very small for 4 people cottage ideal for walking but a little quiet for other visitors.

Handy for a meal At Wensleydale Heifer which is excellent.

A super location for visiting Wensleydale - a very relaxing break.

Just what we needed - thank you.
