  • "Beautiful property, extremely well presented and comfortable."

    We enjoyed our stay here, the views are lovely. It was nice to watch the chickens and ducks from the patio doors! Our hosts were lovely and provided a welcome pack and fresh free range eggs. Thank you for a lovely stay we would definitely book again.

    The surrounding scenery was beautiful and was ever changing with the weather. The wildlife brought many hours of entertainment as we sat and watched ducks playing on the pond, and hens and pheasants observing us through the patio door. We needed a relaxing and peaceful break and this holiday home did not fail to deliver. We would highly recommend this property.

    It was as good as the first stay with a wonderful welcome pack. The property is in wonderful countryside with great views and so many places to see within a short distance. The standard of the cottage is five stars and it certainly deserves that rating. We loved the ducks in the pond and we want to come again in the summertime. Thank you

    It is simply wonderful. In addition John & Chrissie are delightful hosts that go the extra mile to provide an atmosphere of being welcoming without being overbearing. Unfortunately “Storm Babette “got the better of us on our final day and had to leave earlier but that was a natural phenomenon we had to accept. Thanks one again John & Chrissie for a superb week.

    The accommodation was extremely clean, warm and comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen. It is ideally situated within a short distance of many interesting towns and villages. The hosts were extremely friendly and keen to ensure we had everything we needed. We would love to return during the winter months and simply stay in and relax, curled up with a book or two whilst enjoying the wonderful views. Gary and Patrcia Cope, Todmorden

    With hindsight, I regret not booking the property for two weeks. A huge thanks to John, Chrissy, and Torva. They made us feel very welcome.

    We were impressed with the cleanliness, space, comfort and overall quality standard. A warm welcome from the hosts and a few local goodies was well received. The spiral staircase is easy to navigate and adds a quirky feel to the place. Very comfy bed and nice hot shower, great for tired muscles as the area is rather hilly! This cottage is extremely well equipped and maintained. We were blessed with perfect weather and sitting out on the patio watching the ducks/ wildlife was a treat. We enjoyed visiting local towns, including Pately bridge, Skipton and Settle and there are lovely walks locally or further afield. Knaresborough, Ripley castle and Fountains abbey are definitely worth a visit. We have stayed in many cottages and would rate this very highly and absolutely worth a return visit!
