    "We loved this cottage, it is great for a couple with a dog."

    There is everything you need to make it a comfortable stay. A nice garden that is secure for your use. There was a welcome pack with some local products plus bread, milk, for your first brew that was much appreciated. We met the owners who are very welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and tidy and we look to visiting again when in the area as there are lots of places we still want to visit. Thank you Dave, Anne and Charlie

    We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Figgy Cottage and found it to be clean and tidy, with everything you needed. We always hope the welcome pack will be useful for that all important first cuppa so we’re glad it came in handy! We look forward to welcoming you in future. There’s a lot to see in the area with Ripon as a base. We still have things on our list, too! Property Owner

    "Figgy cottage was ideal for the two of us on our short break to the Dales."

    Not far from the very impressive and atmospheric Fountains Abbey. Harrogate again only a short drive away well worth a visit. A five minute stroll leads to Storehouse Kitchen and North Street Fisheries both of which we would recommend highly.

    Thank you for your excellent feedback and recommendations for places to visit. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Figgy Cottage and hope to welcome you back to Ripon in future. Property Owner

    "Very bijou cottage but really clean,the only things letting this property down ..."

    Very bijou cottage but really clean,the only things letting this property down which spoilt our holiday was the sofa was so uncomfortable to sit on the pillows in the bedroom were flat not really comfortable there was an issue with the kitchen tap which was still not resolved by the time we left

    Thank you so much for your feedback, and we’re delighted you found the cottage to be very clean – that’s something we take great pride in. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the cottage weren’t as comfortable for you as we’d hoped. The pillows were newly purchased just a few weeks before your stay, but we do appreciate that everyone has different preferences, and we’ll keep this in mind. The sofa is also something we’ll review to make sure it’s as comfortable as possible for our guests. Regarding the kitchen tap, we did keep you updated during your stay and, although we weren’t able to complete the repair before you left, we’re pleased to say the part has since been fitted and the issue is now resolved. We’re sorry these points affected your overall experience, but we hope you still enjoyed exploring Ripon – it’s such a lovely little city. Property Owner
