Past Customer,

Easy to book and the website has full details of all the properties one would like to visit. On the one occasion we did need to contact the company, they were very efficient and friendly. The property, Strands view, was fabulous. A great place if you have a small group, we had 5 in our party. Three beautifully appointed large bedrooms each with king size beds. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble with this family home. We felt very comfortable and there was plenty in the way of books, games etc., to keep us amused if the weather closed in. You just couldn't take your eyes of the wonderful views, one of the many reasons we return to Swaledale every year.

Mrs Bonny L,

A superb, well equipped cottage with stunning views. We will definitely be back.

Mrs Helen B,

This is by far the best property that we have rented in years and years. The beds were SO comfortable, the kitchen extremely well equipped and for once we had plenty of empty cupboard space to put our supplies. Also, for the first time ever, we had a really large fridge as well as a really large freezer. The entire property is an absolute delight and WHAT a view! Nearly forgot to say that we had a really lovely welcome pack - tea, coffee, milk, chocolate biscuits and a bottle of decent wine.
