A very comfortable and luxurious experience in this cottage. It was extremely relaxing in this quiet location. A very generous welcome pack was provided and thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was wild and wet for much of our stay, but the cottage was a cosy retreat. We would love to return.

The cottage has been upgraded to a very high specification. They have spared no cost in the fixtures and fittings particularly in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The linen for both those areas was first class. We were only a couple but had we have been two couples I feel it would have been a bit tight for space if eating at home but we ate out all the Read moretime anywayThe welcoming basket and flowers was very much appreciated and a nice touch.

A stunning property in a peaceful location. The bedrooms, bathrooms and garden are amazing although the open plan living space is a little small which made food prep awkward. You also feel like you're sitting in the kitchen so not very cosy. Easy to find, good access and plenty to do locally.

Beautifully maintained cottage with great outside space including the former platform. Well equipped with some original features still in place. Well placed for walking, some trails from the property and for local towns such as Leyburn Hawes and Masham. Peaceful rural location. Local pub a short drive away.

The primary bedroom and en-suite shower room exceed expectations in terms of luxury and size but the second bedroom is disproportionately small and lacks finesse and this could prove problematic if two couples were holidaying together. The bathroom down a flight of stairs from this bedroom is very nice. The sitting/ dining/ food preparation area isRead more cramped. The outside space is well thought out and there are a variety of seating areas all with very nice furniture. Hide

The cottage is well located for exploring the area of the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage has everything you need for your stay and was immaculately clean and well presented throughout. All the furnishings, beds and appliances were all of good quality and made a very comforting cottage. The cottage is located in a quiet rural area next to the HeritageRead more Railway which adds charm to its surroundings and authenticity with ample parking. We would recommend this cottage. Hide
