All the necessary utensils etc were there. The beds were very comfortable. The only drawback was the bathroom very small, also a bathmat would be helpful

"We felt the decor and furnishings were a little tired."
The bathroom is miniscule, no heating, no bathmat and nowhere to hang towels. No rear garden, only sitting out area at front facing main road. Parking not very satisfactory.

"This was a wonderful property and we had a fantastic holiday."
It was exactly as described.
The bed was probably the most comfortable we have ever slept in. The sofa was comfy too. The walks around the area and property were amazing especially down by the River. The fact it was doggy friendly was even better. Everything we needed was there, if I had to find one small thing it is simply that there wasn't a draining rack or dish cloth but honestly that is a tiny thing and didnt really bother us. I would highly recommend the property, it was reasonably priced and comfy and the views were superb. We shall be returning!

A picturesque view across countryside from the rear windows and really lovely walks direct from the property.
The cottage itself was clean, adequately equipped and comfortable. Although not mentioned in the details, there is a small freezer section in the fridge which came in very handy. We did notice there wasn't a lock on the shower room/toilet door, however this wasn't a issue for us.
Would be happy to recommend this holiday let to others thinking of visiting the area.

"Great little cottage, we stayed for a week and there is plenty to do in the area."
Parking wasn't a problem as there was lots of space available on the road just outside the cottage. The local shop is very close (10min return walk) and very well stocked. Local pub was excellent - the Wellington. They are currently doing takeaway meals and we used this service a couple of times during the week, was very easy and quick to order meals and collect. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need.

"The cottage was really cosy, comfy, and pleasant."
At the end of the week we were very sad to leave, and that says a lot. The village is really friendly. It was ideal for our pup, she loved exploring the nearby walks and playing in the river. The cottage was clean, and had everything you needed for a weeks break, it was an excellent base for exploring the Dales. A dryer as well as a washing machine would have been great (weather meant that clothes got muddy quickly!). We were initially disappointed there was no broadband, but there was a decent 4G signal and so that worked well. Recommended - we would go back.

"The cottage was lovely and there were some beautiful riverside walks straight from the door!"
However there was a housing development going on across the road and a lot of diggers going up and down the road so unfortunately not the peaceful rural idyll we were hoping for! We couldn’t sit out in the garden because it was at the front in full view of builders so that was a shame! It would have been good to know that the building work was happening before making the booking!

"Bumble Cottage is in a beautiful peaceful village with lovely views."
Felt a little hemmed in with it having no back garden. Your description is not entirely accurate at first glance, stating that it has a bathroom. It is not until you read full description that you find out it only has a shower room. I missed that and was a little disappointed. However, everywhere was clean and nothing appeared to be lacking. We found the lounge furniture a little uncomfortable and the sofa could definitely benefit from the addition of a few cushions!! Overall we had a lovely holiday in an amazing area but doubt we will choose to visit Bumble Cottage again.

"Truly delightful cottage -well placed for touring and visiting."
Every household requirement and really nicely set up. Quiet peaceful and even the neighbour next door was helpful re rubbish collections and local knowledge. We would go back again it was glorious.
One little thing and some would think ‘for heavens sake get a life comment’ - was the only thing we missed was no internet connection or Wi-fi, it just seems that today everything we have requires some access to this- looking up places, events etc we used all our data capacity. (Our fault I know we should have read ALL the cottage information in depth )
It did not detract from the visit - wonderful thank you

The local post office/shop/cafe in the village is one of the best we have seen - lots of fruit and veg and welcoming. Cottage not too far from Leeds and even closer to Harrogate. Wonderful little find and Thank you.
