“A perfect base for our visit to my daughter, who lives locally, and very convenient for Ilkley and surrounding area.”

Menston is a nice village. The accommodation is located in the older part, adjacent to countryside for walks yet within 0.5 miles of the local Co-op, close to a station and with a pub and takeaway round the corner. Very spacious, warm and well fitted internally, ideal for a relaxing break. Worth noting however that there is only a very limited seating area externally, overlooking and overlooked by the owners’ home. Also, the “off street” parking bay, while adequate for a small vehicle, would be challenging for a larger vehicle and manoeuvring out of the bay really needs two people so one can keep watch for traffic along the narrow road. That said, we had a great week and would happily book this accommodation again. The owners, Vicky & David, are very friendly and a pleasure to meet.

Ms White October 2020

“This is a comfy and easy to heat property - important in the colder months.”

It is in a great location if you are travelling round by train as there is a regular service between Leeds and Ilkley. It is also possible to walk straight from the cottage and get up onto Ilkley Moor via the Dales Way. There are also handy local shops in the village.

- Ms White, October 2020
Mrs Bird October 2020

“We’ve just got back from a lovely relaxing week here in the cottage.”

Very comfortable and clean with everything you need. Lots of nice places to visit and if you want a week off from cooking some great takeaways that deliver. Menston spice Indian is definitely worth a try and just a few steps around the corner too. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Thank you Vicky and David

Mr Armstrong October 2020

Mr Fielding September 2020

“Weather was not good ,but the cottage was great.”

Plenty to see around this area, Our hosts were very friendly and helpful.In particular regarding my electric car Providing the facilities to charge it ''PLEASE NOTE YORKSHIRE IS THE WORST AREA IN THE COUNTRY FOR CHARGING AN ELECTRIC CAR'' If local councils don't get their act together all sorts of businesses will suffer.in the near future.Your business is a fine example. (believe me it is happening more quickly than you think) Where I live there are lots of E.Vs already. Regards D.Fielding.

“The cottage was warm and cosy and we felt very much at home there.”

It is a lovely base to explore wonderful Yorkshire and all it has to offer. For anyone wanting to tour the county and have a relaxing base to stay we cannot recommend 1A Church View enough. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly.

- Mrs Driver, December 2014
Mr Ward November 2014

- Mrs Anderson, August 2014
Mrs Butler August 2014

“The cottage is comfortable and well equipped, there was nothing we were short of.”

The renovation has been well done, the living area in particular is a lovely space. Menston provided a range of services within walking distance, including a supermarket, bakery, newsagents and several pubs that offered reasonably priced meals. It was a good base for exploring the dales and nearby towns, such as Leeds and Harrogate.

- Mrs Butler, August 2014
Mr Argo July 2014

“The property was in a handy location.”

- Mr Argo, July 2014

- Mrs Bloomfield, April 2014
Mr Hill January 2014

- Mr Hill, January 2014
Mrs Watts January 2014

- Mrs Watts, January 2014
Ms Carr December 2013

“This is a really lovely little cottage.”

It is modern, clean and attractive. Even though it is very close to the main house, it is very secluded and private. A delightful place to stay.

- Ms Carr, December 2013
Mrs Howard December 2013

“The cottage was immaculately clean and well presented.”

Owners very welcoming and friendly, but not intrusive. Home from home in the lovely Yorkshire Dales.

- Mr Usher, July 2013
Mr Topham June 2013

“The welcome pack was outstanding and the whole cottage was so well laid out.”

We have been to many cottages over the years but this was one of the best,if not the best.

- Mr Topham, June 2013
Mr Booth February 2013

“We received a warm welcome and a very generous starter pack.”

The central village location was perfect, everything you could need, and being behind the owner's property it was away from the road so very quiet. There were beautiful, and challenging, walks when the weather allowed and 20 minute rail connections to Leeds or Bradford when it was not so good. It would be possible not to use your car for the whole holiday.
