• "Ideally located to visit the Dales, the cottage was comfortable, full of character and had everything we could need."

  Easy distance to the pub. Owner very helpful. Off street parking a boon as lane outside could be busy at children's centre pick up times.

• "This is a really cosy and comfortable cottage with adequate parking for a small / average sized car."

  The owner, Claire, was really friendly, even popping round the one evening to check that we were Ok. Handily placed for Embsay and Bolton Abbey heritage railway and within a 30 minutes walk to Skipton. This is a perfect base for two people to explore this very scenic part of the country. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly come back again.

• "This was a return visit following on from a trip to Embsay away back in 2015."

  Cottage beautiful, clean and spacious. The living room and kitchen area are well decorated and offer plenty of room. Facilities such as tv and cooking appliances were modern and in great condition. The double bed is king size and shower in bathroom powerful as well as a bath to allow options. Outdoor eating space to rear of property & off road parking area to side of cottage means vehicle can be parked safely. Another wonderful stay and property is highly recommended!

  The cottage is perfect and the off street parking was an added bonus. Really handy for meals at the pub and there is a very good local shop. Everyone very friendly. The outdoor seating area is not very inspired....but it is only April I suppose.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Katie’s Cottage, we met Claire the owner who is very nice."

  We have stayed in this property previously. We thought the cleanliness was outstanding couldn't fault that at all. We do feel that the cottage could do with a new sofa, as we thought this had lost all support and was difficult to get out of. Having said this we would book again for this cottage because it is very well kept and very clean. Central for all areas around that part of the dales.

• "I am very happy to give Katie's Cottage a big 10 out of 10 for everything."

  Excellent location for exploring the whole area, the village Post Office is 3 mins and a pub is 1 min walk away. The pub is very nice with a good selection of food and beers. The cottage is in very good condition and is a credit to Claire the owner, it has it's own parking place which is always a bonus. We had the log fire going for a couple of nights which was really nice. The really large King bed upstairs was massive and really comfortable, in fact as good as ours at home and I couldn't fault the immaculate bathroom. It was our first time in the area but I have no hesitation in recommending this great/lovely cottage and will be back. Thank you Claire

  The cottage is perfect for 2 guests and provides everything you need to make the stay comfortable including, a starter pack for the log burner!

• "Everywhere was spotlessly clean."

  Easy access and information given that cottage was ready early.It’s difficult to have space in compact rooms but only downside was that as it rained everyday there was nowhere to hang damp clothes.This didn’t detract from a fantastic holiday and great location.Stayed in INGLETON last year and pub prices were much higher for a meal than the pub 25 yards from front door.Hoping to return.

• "Kate’s. Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage, the cottage was immaculate inside."

  Just a couple of points. The bedroom would benefit from a small dressing table or chest of drawers - somewhere to do hair and makeup. Outside needs some improvement, it wasn’t a space that we wanted to spend time in and couldn’t really be described as a garden.

  Everything is as described and so clean it was just what we needed. We did visit lots of places in and around Skipton but for us on this occasion it was all about the R&R and we looked forward to returning back to the cottage every day. We met and chatted with the owner, Claire who is just lovely. We didn't need help with anything but Claire gave us the names of a few good eateries which was really nice of her. We would return to Katie's Cottage and can highly recommend it.

  The owner met us on our first day with some fruit scones which was very welcoming. As this is the first time we have rented a holiday property we hadn’t properly thought things through. As one of us has disabilities the stairs in the cottage were a problem and there was no downstairs loo. This was a little inconvenient but in no way spoilt our holiday and as I say our fault. The village is quiet and picturesque, Skipton is a very nice market town together with surrounding attractions, well worth a visit.
