“We had an absolutely delightful holiday at Claire and Steve's.”

The house is beautiful, surrounded by nature and wild animals. We would wholeheartedly recommend a stay here, both the property and surrounding area are brilliant, we'd also like to give a special shout out to Stefano's the nearby Italian for gorgeous authentic food and a warm atmosphere. Claire couldn't have offered any more help, she was incredibly friendly and great at responding to any queries we had throughout our stay. Thanks for an amazing stay, we'll hopefully be back!

- Mr Porter, September 2019
“Outstanding accommodation in a most beautiful location.”

A well thought out layout making the most of a fabulous view across the valley below. The wood fired hot tub is easy to use and had the added bonus of being chemical free. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot recommend Ash Bank more highly.

- Mrs Bond, September 2019
“This is the best self catering accommodation I have ever stayed in.”

The owners are extremely helpful and very kind people. The barn itself is a beautiful design and has all the modern conveniences whilst being set against a beautiful backdrop. The cleanliness was outstanding and everything was in excellent working order. The wood fired hot tub was another amazing feature and we really enjoyed stoking this up and enjoying the experience of an evening.

- Ms Redman, August 2019
“No everything was excellent”

- Mrs Kirwin, August 2019
“This cottage was amazing.”

Although it was semi-detached the layout and build quality means you are totally unaware of neighbours. Claire kept in touch by text to see if we needed anything which was helpful without being intrusive. The welcome pack of milk, butter, biscuits and homemade bread, as well as tea, coffee, condiments and Prosecco was very welcoming. The information pack in the cottage told us all we needed to know and the recommendations of local eating places and shops was really helpful. We had guests join us for a couple of days during the week, which we had asked Claire about before hand and she said it was no problem and made up the second bedroom as a double before we arrived. There is nothing that could be improved at the cottage except perhaps a mosquito zapper as I did get bitten when using the hot tub at dusk, but watching the bats and the barn owls was worth it.

- Mrs Saunders, July 2019
“We found this cottage brilliant.”

The location offers beautiful views and there are plenty of areas to walk if that's what you enjoy.Hosts Steve & Claire could not have been more helpful, they were on hand and nothing was a trouble to them. We would recommend this property and will definitely return soon.

- Mr Holliday, June 2019
“Everything was perfect!”

We had such an amazing time, we've come away completely relaxed and refreshed. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was clearely explained and our host met us when we arrived. We would definitely reccomend to our friends and family!

- Mrs Fletcher, June 2019
“Absolutely lovely holiday house in a beautiful setting.”

Furniture and fittings were to a verythema high standard. The modern design worked really well. It was light and spacious. Reminded us ofor something you might see in Grand Designs. We loved the hot tub and good way to relax.

- Mrs wood, May 2019
“A fantastic spot and the property is excellent.”

The hosts have thought of everything and a really welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a chilled out weekend.

- Mr Wilson, May 2019
“Owners welcoming.”

Welcome pack lovely. Area beautiful. Home Away from home, well thought out. Log burner lovely and cosy on colder nights. Hot tub OK, our preference would have been a jacuzzi type but this one did the job. There is a lovely woodland waterfall walk right close to lodge, worths walk. A beautiful restful place to chill.

- Mrs Smith, May 2019
“Superb hosts and great spot from which to base and explore the Yorkshire countryside.”

Lovely touches such as Prosecco and fresh bread on arrival together with a ready heated hot tub made our arrival very warm and welcome!!

- Mrs Brown, April 2019
“From the get go, everything was just so inviting.”

The place was lovely, the view was gorgeous and the owner is absolutely delightful. We was welcomed with a smile, and a surprise bottle of Prosecco waiting for us (which we enjoyed in the hot tub which was already warmed up for us), we were left to our own devices but if we needed anything it was clearly never any trouble. The cottage was immaculate and finished to a very high standard. Nothing but high praise.

- Mr Sharp, March 2019
“Absolutely superb .”

Great location lots of walks in the area . Claire & Steve were fantastic hosts can't do enough for you . The hot tub puts the icing on the cake . Would recommend to anyone.

- Mr Barlow, March 2019
“Had a lovely weekend here for our mini moon, its such a gorgeous peaceful place!”

Claire was really welcoming, not only did she put Just Married banners up she also got us Mr&Mrs cups and brought us freshly made bread. I could not recommend this place enough! We will definitely be returning.

- Miss Horrocks, February 2019
“The property was beautiful and exactly as described.”

Claire was a fabulous host & nothing was too much trouble. We arrived on a snowy Friday night in February to a really warm welcome - the house was beautifully decorated, superbly well equipped and really snug. The hot tub was heating up & Steve graciously kept stoking the fire until it was ready for us. There were really thoughtful treats and supplies left for us, along with clear guidance on how to use everything and suggestions for places to go. The recommended Indian takeaway delivered a delicious curry, the beds were wonderfully comfortable, the shower was powerful and the log burner was divine. A really luxurious treat for a group of old friends... many thanks.

- Mrs Sale, February 2019
“What a wonderful place jacobs wood is .”

Claire and Steve had thought of absolutley everything. So many perfect little finishing touches. Every day steve brought a basket of wood up so we never ran short, hot tub was ready for us every day. The cottage was immaculately clean. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer!!!

- Mrs Askew, February 2019
“This property was fantastic.”

..a definite home from home. Log burner, hot tub, beautiful views...loads of birds & animals in their natural habitat. Great walks, pubs not too far. The hosts had even decorated the property for Christmas. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break in the Yorkshire Dales. We will definitely be looking at returning to Ash Bank.

- Mr Thornton, December 2018
“Jacobs Wood is in a quite, lovely area.”

The holiday cottage was clean and comforting. The owners are lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Suffolk, November 2018
“My husband and I recently spent the weekend at Ash bank and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.”

Absolutely everything was completely perfect about the accommodation and the location for our trip. Everything had been thought of, there was prosecco, milk, biscuits, butter and a warm loaf of home made bread on arrival. There was also an endless supply of wood for the log burner and the hot tub which was great. We were a bit dubious about the hot tub as we'd never encountered a log fired one before but we are now completely converted! We loved sitting in it at night, drinking our complimentary prosecco and looking up at the stars. The inside of the cottage is finished to a very high standard and decorated beautifully. We stood at the windows for ages, admiring the countryside and we loved that the barn door still functions and could be closed at night, making it even more cosey. All the little finishing touches are fantastic and well thought out and the beds are so comfy. The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They were there to great us and gave us an insight to the area and helped to get the hot tub going. They even went and collected our chinese takeaway as they were getting one aswell. Now thats service! We like to get away each year to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this is by far the best place we've been too and we will certainly come back again.

- Mrs Hornsby, October 2018
“Just back from an absolutely brilliant stay at Jacobs wood ash bank holiday cottage.”

From the minute we arrived we were blown away. Claire met us at the door to show us round including prosecco, milk, homemade bread and cookies amongst other essentials stocked in the kitchen. The cottage was spotless and had everything we could need and more including endless wood for the log burner and hot tub which was stocked everyday. Steve even cleaned out and refilled and lit the hot tub for us coming in from nearby country walks. The views are stunning! There are so many beautiful walks and villages to explore nearby with tonnes of info inside the cottage on what to do and where to eat. Can not recommend this place highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble and claire and Steve went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay!

- Miss Rutherford, October 2018
“Oh my, the most relaxed holiday we have ever had.”

The cottage was beautiful, the owners were absolutely wonderful very friendly and very knowledgeable about the surrounding places to visit,they have compiled a folder with maps of the local and surrounding areas to visit which we found extremely helpful. The view from inside and outside the cottage are wonderful. There is plenty of wildlife life right outside your door from Blue tits, Kestrels and buzzards. There are Deer. Then there are Pheasants and Hares who saunter along the footpath just outside your cottage, the owners told us that the pheasants love to be feed and will actually come quite close to you. The hot tub is great you just lay and relax during the day and watch the scenery and listen and watch the birds soar in the sky what more can you ask for and at night time you can sit in the Hot Tub and relax and look up at the stars and listen to all the different wildlife. My husband and I were so impressed with our stay at the cottage that we booked it again for next year and also extended our stay in the adjoining cottage which is also FAB_U_LOUS. Oh I forgot to mention the welcome Home baked bread still warm and a bottle of Wine to wash it down with. Then there's all the local footpaths for you to wander along, if you want to. We highly recommend both these cottages, you wont be disappointed. FIVE GREAT BIG STARS

About the location

SILSDEN

Bolton Abbey 8.5 miles; Ilkley 8.5 miles; Skipton 9 miles.

The pretty town of Silsden, set on the edge of the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, commands sweeping views of the River Aire and its valley, and has a thriving community with local amenities. Although Silsden was originally an agricultural town, the construction of the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal meant that it later became an important centre for the mill industry, however the local economy is now largely supported by tourism, and it has become a perfect place to stay and explore the local area. Down the Aire Valley lies historic Skipton, known as “The Gateway to the Dales”, a quaint market town boasting an ancient castle open to the public, a beautiful old parish church and a colourful market occupying the cobbled setts each side of the high street. In 2008, the Academy of Urbanism voted the high street as the best shopping spot in Britain. In the next valley lies Addingham, a thriving, small community with several good pubs serving fine ale and excellent food, a scattering of small shops and a delightful golf course surrounded by breathtaking countryside. Nearby Bolton Abbey is one of the region's most scenic areas and the walk along the river to the Strid is a must. The Victorian Spa town of Ilkley is also worth a visit, with its wide streets, world-famous Box Tree Restaurant and Bettys Tea Rooms, while Ilkley Moor is the subject of Yorkshire's unofficial anthem “On Ilkla Moor Baht at”. With steam railways offering regular excursions through stunning scenery, canal day trips, castles and pretty market towns all available nearby, Silsden is a wonderful base for touring the Bronte Country and North and West Yorkshire.
