Reviews

Great stay at the haven that is Blades Cottage and surroundings. The peace and quiet is wonderful yet you’re not isolated being close to many places of interest and the beautiful countryside that is the Yorkshire Dales. Everything you need is at the cottage and lovely welcome basket. Had to cancel due to lockdown earlier in the year but no problem rescheduling, thank you Margaret & John. It has certainly recharged our batteries ready for the winter months, we hope to be back.

Past Customer,

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.

Andy and J,

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

Past Customer,

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.

Past Customer,

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.

Past Customer,

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.

Past Customer,

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

Past Customer,

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.

Past Customer,

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!

Past Customer,

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.

Previous Customer,

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

Chris and G,

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

Previous Customer,

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.

Rich and T,

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.

Bridget & I,

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.

Previous Customer,

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.

Past Customer,

Area Information

Lunds
Lunds is the perfect place to escape from the modern world: surrounded by countryside, this peaceful spot is miles away from its surrounding towns and villages, making it the ideal base to disconnect and truly relax on a Yorkshire Dales break. If you do need to head back into the hustle and bustle, the charming market town of Hawes is 6 miles away where you'll find the Dales Countryside Museum, the Wensleydale Creamery along with a variety of independent shops and restaurants to potter around.
