Description

Nestling in a pretty, wooded glade, at the end of a half mile private road, Wagtail Cottage is one of a small group of properties surrounded by open farmland.  Tucked away in peaceful countryside on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, close to Gisburn Forest with its mountain bike tracks and walking routes, Wagtail Cottage is situated at the end of a half mile private road. This comfortable cottage is one of a small group of properties surrounded by open farmland situated within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Due to their effort to be environmentally friendly, the owners achieved a Gold Star Standard Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme. Heating and hot water are supplied by a central boiler fuelled by wood chip, and all lighting is by low energy bulbs. All cleaning products are made on site from natural materials.

Garden produce can be purchased when available. The cottages and farmhouse have all been comfortably furnished to a high standard and provide excellent holiday accommodation, which is personally managed by the owners and their family. Well maintained the cottages all have their own patios, which then merge into landscaped gardens, making this an idyllic and peaceful setting for a rural holiday.

On site there is a 10 x 5m heated indoor swimming pool, a games room with table tennis, pool table, table football and childrens' games as well as a full size snooker table. A tennis court and 7 a side football field provide entertainment for the more energetically minded but for those with peace and quiet in mind an afternoon by the stream can be most relaxing. Holidaymakers have access to the farmland, through which there some very pleasant walks. For the more adventurous the Three Peaks are on the doorstep where the open fells and moors provide a superb backdrop for more stunning scenery. Close by is Gisburn Forest, where there are many way-marked cycle trails and walks.  For mountain bikers there are some excellent trails in the Gisburn Forest which are suitable for all levels. There is secure bike storage and bike wash available on site. There is also fishing on Stocks Reservoir and fly fishing on the River Ribble.

Reviews

My family have really enjoyed this holiday and all said the properties game room and pool were excellent.We did not want to leave!!!! Thank You All. SBeaumont

Mrs Sonia B,

All in all it was a lovely break, only issue I could comment on was the sofas as they were that low it was a struggle to get up and down from them especially for my elderly parents, also the floor was badly worn so you could catch yourself unless you ware shoes all the time. Other than that it was a great experience and would definitely return again.

Mr Andrew C,

Such a beautiful property. Very quiet peaceful. Great for a group of people celebrating an occasion.

Mrs T,

Excellent property with lovely walks straight from the door. Very friendly owners who are quick to respond to any questions.

Mrs H,

We recently spent a long weekend at lower gill and wagtail cottages in tosside and had a fabulous time. We were a large party which included infants, toddlers and teenagers and there was something there for everyone. The cottages were lovely, very spacious and clean and we were really happy with the on-site facilities. The swimming pool was great and we really liked having our own time slots so that only our family was using it during our session. The games room was also very popular and it was a nice surprise that you only had to pay for the light for the snooker table, everything else was free. The cottages are in a beautiful location, close to Settle and Skipton. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back.

Mrs S,

Great property for us and our children and grandchildren to enjoy. Clean and well equiped. The kitchen is excellent, with plenty of cupboard space and large fridge and separate freezer. We've been twice and will be returning again. Pool and games room are excellent, and timed private use is really appreciated.

Mr H,
