We had a warm welcome. The cottage is better suited for just 2 people. The views and location were perfect. Lots of places to visit within a 20 minutes drive. The good weather was a bonus.

“Situated in a lovely atmosphere.”

Situated in a lovely atmosphere. Quiet, with a beautifull view. Good for 2 persons (for 4 persons maybe not). We enjoyed our stay.

“The owners went out of their way to ...”

The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and had essentials for our arrival e.g. Tea/coffee milk etc. and we were given food for our return journey. The cottage was in a beautiful location and very quiet. The villagers were so welcoming and everyone spoke to us we would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.

The cottage is in a good location for both Harrogate and the Dales. The hosts Philip and Phillipa Higgins are lovely people and were more than willing to assist us with any problems. Mike and Sheila, Australia.

“Birthday weekend in the snow.”

Stayed for a long weekend Friday to Monday. We found the cottage very comfortable and clean with most things you would need for a short break. We stayed on an an unusually cold weekend and it took a while for the cottage to warm up but once it did it was lovely and snuggly. Loved that we could bring our dog with us and that the owners seem very dog friendly. Some really beautiful walks very close by, we had the bonus of fresh crisp snow to walk in which just enhanced the beauty of the place. It's also a very short drive into Harrogate where we enjoyed the parkrun on Saturday morning. We had our meal out on Sunday at the Station hotel in Birstwith, highly recommended! The food was really delicious, staff were friendly and our dog was welcome. All in all a great little place to stay and would defiantly return. The only niggle was the cold start, it would have been nice after the drive to arrive to a warmed up cottage.

This was a lovely cozy little cottage. The owners were friendly and had supplied a generous welcome pack. The slight downside was the lack of mobile phone signal.

“Beautiful, quiet location.”

Beautiful, quiet location. Everything included in cottage that you need for a week of relaxation. Patio doors overlook a paddock with horses, Neighbouring houses a good field away and sheltered by beautiful mature trees. Owners on hand if you need any help/advice and were very accommodating. Convenient location for Harrogate and the many small surrounding villages. Would love to return again in the future.

“A pleasant week”

The accommodation was comfortable, bright, clean and quiet. Having the owner in the adjacent house was an advantage as we were made very welcome and were given suggestions for places to visit. There were several places worth a visit nearby - Fountains Abbey, Harrow Garden, Caste Howard and Brinham Rocks so it was easy to fill a week.

“A lovely cottage in a wonderful ...”

A lovely cottage in a wonderful location to explore Nidderdale. It had everything we needed, was warm and cosy and a welcome retreat at the end of some long days. Everything you need for a week, it felt like home from home. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. We stayed with our two children, so it's great for families. Lovely view over a small paddock with kind and friendly owners on hand.

“Good base near Ripley castle”

Great little studio just up the road from Ripley castle and Harrogate, ideal for business or for couples who want their own space rather than a hotel room, comfortable double bed, compact kitchen and dining area and double doors that go out to peaceful stables to the back and your own mini garden, we were very comfortable here and just under a mile from a very good pub The New Inn with excellent food.
