"By far, one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in."
Not only is Owl Cottage surrounded by the most beautiful scenery a person could ever wish for, but it has been finished to such perfection. It has everything anyone could ever need for a totally relaxing and rejuvenating stay.
It includes all the technical needs (WiFi, satellite TV (lounge and bedroom), Bluetooth speaker in bedroom etc.) to the luxuries of a sumptuous and comfortable bed, with quality linen and towels; and a fully equipped kitchen, with washing machine.
The heating is completely at the guests control, and the hot water is on all the time. We wanted for nothing.
If you're normally a shower person, you might want to pack some luxury bubble bath for your stay, as the bathroom is exquisite, and you'll be wanting a long soak in the generously comfortable bath, especially after a day of climbing the beautiful Dales.
And, if after all that, you really don't feel like cooking, there is a lovely pub just two minutes down the road.
The cottage owners, Sandra and Tom, were always around, without being intrusive, if you need anything or want to ask about the local area. And they have thoughtfully included in the cottage a comprehensive guide of local attractions, activities and walks to help you to plan your stay.
We loved this cottage so much, and there was such a lot we didn't manage to get done during our stay, we will definitely be back.

"We greatly enjoyed our stay in this stylish, well designed and well equipped cottage."
Wonderful to have a convenient hallway with coat hooks and a shoe rack, quality equipment in the kitchen, a beautifully tiled bathroom and an excellent bed. It was spotlessly clean. A welcoming gift pack of baking, chocolates and ground coffee was a treat. A folder of local attractions was well kept and helpful as was an OS map of the area. The owners made us feel at home and were attentive without being intrusive: there was a momentary power cut one evening and they came immediately to check that we were able to restart the TV etc. without being asked. Owl Cottage is convenient for many local attractions (gardens, monuments, towns, industrial heritage, walks etc) but is quiet and tucked away among fields and pastures, a taste of the countryside.
