Blades Cottage

Reviews

An absolutely lovely cottage half a mile down a Farm track from the road, set in a beautiful valley. The track was easily navigable for our A3 and the farmer next door extremely friendly. This is an absolute gem of a property providing a sense of isolation with great walking straight out of the front door. However if you want to curl up on the sofa in front of the log burner and watch a movie it’s equally well equipped.

Such a clean and comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Our first holiday in this difficult year so it has been lovely to re-visit the dales after many years. Oh, and thank you for the goodies.

Lovely cottage. Great to be back at “Blades” again. A super week, thanks Margaret and John.

We’ve had a lovely 2 weeks. The cottage is one of the nicest we’ve stayed in and is a special spot, great for walking and getting away from things. We have done so many walks, seen owls and lapwings and return home relaxed. Recommend Dentdale cafe, stone close tea rooms.

What a privilege to have found “Blades” for a return visit to the Dales. Perfect weather for walking from the cottage along Pennine Bridleway, Cotterdale and Griesdale. Cosy cottage & space to commune with the sheep. We love it and hope to return.

This cottage is a mixture of stunning scenery from every window and a very stylish interior. Lots of very special touches, including an already set wood burner. You feel away from the Madden crowd and close to nature, yet you are 10 mins from Hawes and 15 mins from Sedburgh where local shops and eating places can be found. Pub/food also a 15 min walk away. What's is also great is the nearness to many of the Yorkshire dales delights. Brilliantly placed for walkers as there are many walks from the cottage. Ranging from easy to challenging. Will definitely return

Cancellation (Covid) of a week in Wales brought about a return to Blades. Another most enjoyable week despite some disappointing weather at times. Still managed lots of great walking.

We’ve had the most fantastic week here at Blades - the perfect post - lockdown escape. Feels just like being at home and we really didn’t want to leave!

Most perfect place! Tranquil, fab and just beautiful. The cottage is one of the best I’ve stayed in. Really cosy, clean and everything you need. Will definitely be booking again for summer.

Fabulous time in a tranquil secluded and beautiful location. Cottage was perfect with everything we needed.

Just what I wanted. Perfect cottage in a perfect location.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The second day we had some snow which transformed the landscape into a winter wonderland. Thank you.

What an amazing cottage, so cosy ,clean and welcoming. The attention to detail is amazing. The welcome pack was an unexpected surprise and Ian was very happy with his fizz!!. The location is simply stunning, so peaceful. Thank you so much for everything. Will be returning.

What a fantastic cottage this is. Clean, cosy and with everything you might need for a short stay. The walks were magnificent, especially the train journey to Kirby Stephen and then the walk back to the cottage. I would highly recommend, taken from the Blades Cottage website. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Thank you for providing such a cute and cosy cottage. We absolutely loved the log burner, which has kept us very warm on these chilly autumn evenings. We never thought in our wildest dreams that nature would be so close to our front door step. We have woken up these past two mornings with charming sheep and pheasants waiting by the gate. Not only this but we have been on tranquil countryside walks and have been astounded by the breathtaking views. We will be back.

Wonderful and peaceful cottage. Perfect location to all the wonders of the dales!!. Lamb dinners at The White Hart in Hawes, the friendly atmosphere of The George in Hubberholme, and a pint in The Moorcock. Great hills, Penyghent, Malham Cove and Janet’s Foss and Aysgarth Falls. We loved the morning view, birds and sheep. Thank you again.

Blades has been one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in, so comfortable, lovely attention to detail and unexpected treats on arrival. We have loved the location and isolation. The weather has not been kind but did not stop us from exploring the area. We would definitely recommend Blades Cottage to anyone wanting respite from stressful town/city living. Many thanks.

A truly wonderful cottage in a lovely location. We have enjoyed our stay here and will miss watching the sheep having their morning scratch on the gate! Highly recommend the cheese demo at The Wensleydale Creamery

Lovely cottage in a fantastic setting. Plenty of walking to be done right from the cottage. We did the three peaks as well. Bolton Castle was lovely, Kirby Stephen was a nice place to walk round. Hawes was a good place for shopping and some good walks start here. Walked up to the railway bridge you can see from the cottage and lucky to see the steam train.

The property was first class. Lots of walks from the door and a scenic route to the nearest pub. Also easily accessible is the Settle to Carlisle railway.

Lovely cottage, great location. Very well equipped, everything you could need. Lovely touches. Lots of wildlife. 32 species of birds, including, curlew, lapwing, grouse, oyster catcher and kestrel. Caught 30 brown trout on river. Great.
