“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.

“Jacobs Wood is in a quite, lovely area.”

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

“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.

“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!

“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

Perfect for nature lovers and walkers but only a short journey to the small town of Silsden with its amenities and easy access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Bronte Country. Wrapped in countryside views, away from the hustle and bustle, you can truly escape into the idyllic surroundings of the retreats. Presented with contemporary comfortable furnishings the open-plan living areas welcome the outside in, with picture windows over looking the rural landscape - a wonderful backdrop to admire as you go about your day. Both lounge's are completed by woodburning stove's to warm those cooler nights and the modern L-shaped kitchens are thoughtfully put together. As the night draws in, you will look forward to snuggling up in one of the neutral, calming bedrooms, each coordinated with lovely Egyptian cotton bed linen and their own Smart TV. A walk-in shower room finishes the properties to an immaculate standard. Once you have relaxed indoors, why not spend an hour or two enjoying the private patio areas with their genuine Swedish wood fired hot tubs, ideal for a sunny afternoon, or some quiet time under the 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.
