"Cottage and owners were great, would highly recommend."
The back gate was damaged but Ellen and Neil came straight round and fixed the problem lovely friendly owners.
The only downside was the main road which was really busy but you get used to it. Parking space a bit tight but everywhere is these day.
Very clean and well equipped will be back
Thank you Kevin Sylvia and Sid. It was great to meet you and we would be very happy to welcome you back Property Owner

"The stairs needs a handrail they are very steep."
Parking is very tight not much room and there is a very busy road at front of property which we weren't aware of and my husband has mobility issues and crossing the road was a nightmare I wouldn't have booked if I had known about the road it should be in the details or spoilt the holiday also we couldn't sleep it was busy all night

"Excellent cottage, clean and very well equipped."
One drawback was parking space, which was an issue every day. Also local amenities were few and far between as the pub was closed and the chip shop was dreadful, however the local shop was really good. On the whole though, a good holiday cottage
Thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you struggled with the parking space. Unfortunately the pub opposite closed unexpectedly in the summer but has now reopened Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay, the cottage was immaculately clean, everything we needed and more."
The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in. Parking was tight but the kind lady next door moved her car while we got in.The Bay Horse across the road served excellent meals and the staff very friendly. My only recommendation would be a handrail on the stairs, Being of a certain age it would have been helpful.

"The cottage was well equipped and central to tourist attractions."
The Bay Horse pub across the road is great for good beer and food, the staff and landlord were all very friendly. Just one criticism the parking space at the rear of the cottage was quite small, we had to park on the side road.

"Grateful for the early access to the property."
House was very clean, main bedroom comfortable and for a mid terrace house a generous size. Kitchen was well made and modern, new Sky box and good wifi a nice addition. Off street parking wouldn’t suit a big vehicle but a 1 series was an ok if snug fit. Pub over the road doesn’t get rowdy after hours, food was good there. There are lots of lovely walks in every direction. Corner shop is well stocked and Crosshills has a good sized Co-op a short drive away

"The accomodation was clean, cosy and comfortable,ideally located to explore the dales and surrounding area."
The only criticism would be that there was little or no room within the cupboards in the kitchen to store our own food essentials as there were a number of old food items and tinned food possibly left from previous guests.

"Had a lovely stay at Hemingway Cottage."
Very clean, cosy and comfortable, especially the bed in the main bedroom. Road noise didn't bother me and slept well after a days exploring the beautiful Dales and Lancashire countryside. Views from Lunds Tower behind the cottage are magnificent. Lots of places to visit around Colne, which has lovely parks for dog walks, and Skipton as well as shops in Crosshils.
Thank you for your feedback. It’s always nice to hear that people have enjoyed their stay and discovered new places Property Owner

Close to all the sites with easy access to the dales for hiking and sightseeing. Hemingway Cottage has everything that you need and a nice touch leaving some dog treats and dog bowl. Would definitely stop here again.
I’m so happy to hear you had a wonderful time at Hemingway Cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner

"Lovely cottage and very clean."
We had a lovely stay between Christmas and new year and went discovering the beautiful sights of the Yorkshire Dales. The downside is that the off road parking is on a very narrow back street, with raised ironworks and as we had a large vehicle could not park outside due to the other vehicles not being able to get past. This is also on a very busy road and even though it is a 30mph limit, cars, vans and lorries speed past and it is very very noisy throughout the day and all through the night. So not much rest was had. All in all, apart from this we enjoyed our break but feel that this information should be shared to others before booking.

"Hemmingway cottage is a lovely warm, clean, comfortable cottage."
A lot of thought has gone into the presentation of the rooms. Comfy furniture, beautiful bedding, bathroom and Kitchen look new. When we informed the owners our grandson of 11 months was joining us, a safety gate was provided without asking. A dog bowl and treats were also provided for our little dog. Pam and David Kent. The cottage would benefit from a handrail down the stairs and a couple more sauce pans. But a real find.

"The so called cottage was below expectations, not worth the£650 we paid the kitchen equipment was basic, one plastic jug,a small frying pan, and a pan with a loose handle,no bread knife or bread bin, only one key in back door so if there was a fire in the kitchen you couldn't get out, no bannister on the stairs, double bedroom only fit for one person with nowhere to put your clothes, big bedroom,no bedside lights, I have complained so Sykes who promised to get back to me about my complaint but nobody has."
they sent me an email saying the property was now cheaper, we couldn't sleep properly in the bed so we left on the Monday night, its the first time we have had a holiday with Sykes, but if this is the way they treat their customers it will be the last
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you didn’t feel able to stay for your full booking. We have made a number of changes since then: we have added a larger frying pan and a large stockpot, both being made of harder wearing materials. We are looking to put a handrail on the stairs shortly.
There is a large box of knives including a bread knife and many others, which is kept in the crockery cupboard, out of the way of children for safety reasons. Due to the layout of the larger bedroom we do not have bedside lamps as this would cause safety issues with loose wires from the sockets on the opposite wall. What we do have is a bedroom lamp and tower fan next to the sockets, a a couple of steps from the bed, and likewise in the smaller bedroom. The storage in the large bedroom is extensive covering a whole wall and suitable for 4 guests. There are keys for both the front and back doors, ensuring safety of all in an emergency situation Property Owner

"Nice comfy cottage, plenty of towels and bedding, washer dryer was nice to have, an iron would of helped but the owner did offer to bring one over."
Nice touch supplying dog bowls, biscuits and poop bags. Not many facilities in the village but so close to everywhere with a car. Enjoyed a couple of sunny evenings in the garden.

"The cottage was nicely appointed, however there were things missing in the kitchen which we felt are necessary eg."
Pyrex bowl, grill handle, oven gloves, tongs.
The description stated that dogs were allowed. While being dog friendly, we did not expect to find dog hairs in the bed nor on the soft furnishings in the lounge. As a result, we had to give antihistamines to our daughter as she is allergic to pet hair.
The description stated the cottage was on a “main road in a village.” The traffic noise was horrendous continuing until about midnight, then starting at 5:30 am. Despite being a 30mph limit it was clear that drivers were not adhering to this. Shutting the windows had little effect and due to the hot weather made the rooms excessively hot. We felt like we had pitched up next to the M6!
There wasn’t a quick way of controlling the heating as the thermostat did not appear to work. We turned it off on the boiler in the end.
With a few extra touches with extra kitchen supplies and some advance notice about the road noise, this cottage could be really comfortable.
